To connect a DirecTV remote to your receiver or TV, follow these steps:
1. Turn on Your TV and Receiver
– Make sure your TV and DirecTV receiver are powered on.
2. Program the Remote to the Receiver
– Press and hold the “MENU” button on the DirecTV remote until the green light at the top of the remote turns on. The green light will stay on.
– Press and release the “TV Power” button. The green light blinks and then stays on.
– Press and release the “Enter” button. The remote will send a signal to search for the correct code for your receiver.
– Once the remote finds the code, the green light will turn off.
3. Test the Remote
– Test if the remote works by pressing a few buttons, like the power button or volume buttons, to check if it controls the TV or receiver.
4. Program the Remote for Your TV (Optional)
If you want to control your TV as well, you can program the remote for your TV:
– Press and hold the “TV Power” button until the green light at the top of the remote turns on.
– Release the button, then press and release the “Enter” button.
– The green light will turn off once the remote is successfully programmed.
Alternative Method (If Auto-Programming Doesn’t Work)
If the automatic programming doesn’t work, you can manually enter the code:
– On the DirecTV remote, press and hold the “MUTE” and “SELECT” buttons at the same time until the green light blinks twice and stays on.
– Enter the 5-digit code for your TV or receiver using the number buttons.
– If the code is correct, the green light will blink twice and turn off. If not, try another code or use the DirecTV remote’s code search feature.
