To sync your DIRECTV remote with your TV, follow these steps:
1. Turn on your TV: Make sure your TV is powered on.
2. Program the Remote:
– Press and hold the `Menu` button on your DIRECTV remote until the green light at the top of the remote turns on and stays on.
– Release the `Menu` button.
– Press and hold the `Info` button until the green light blinks and then turns off.
3. Enter the TV Brand Code:
– The remote will ask for the TV brand code. You can find the list of TV codes in your DIRECTV remote’s user guide or by searching online for your TV brand’s code.
– Once you have the code, use the number buttons on the remote to enter the 3-digit code for your TV brand.
– After entering the code, the green light will blink and then turn off.
4. Test the Remote:
– Try using the remote to control the TV (e.g., adjusting the volume or turning the TV on and off).
– If it works, you’re done. If not, repeat the process with a different code for your TV brand.
If your DIRECTV remote has trouble syncing, you can also use the automatic code search method, which will try several codes for you:
1. Automatic Code Search:
– Turn on your TV.
– Press and hold the `Menu` button on your DIRECTV remote until the green light stays on.
– Release the `Menu` button.
– Press and hold the `Mute` and `Enter` buttons at the same time until the green light blinks and then stays on.
– Release both buttons.
– The remote will now start searching for the correct code. Once it finds the right code, the green light will blink and turn off.
– Test the remote to make sure it controls the TV.
If you continue having trouble, make sure the remote is compatible with your TV model, or consult the DIRECTV support website for more troubleshooting steps.
