To connect your DIRECTV remote to your receiver, follow these steps:
1. Turn on your TV and DIRECTV receiver: Ensure that both the TV and receiver are powered on and ready.
2. Program the remote:
– For most DIRECTV remotes, you will need to program it to communicate with the receiver. On the remote, press and hold the “SELECT” and “MUTE” buttons at the same time until the green light on the remote turns on and stays on.
3. Enter the code for your receiver:
– After the green light stays on, release the buttons.
– Now, press and release the “CHANNEL UP” button repeatedly until the receiver turns off.
– Once the receiver turns off, press “SELECT” to store the code. The green light will blink and then turn off.
4. Test the remote: Try turning the receiver on or off using the remote. If it works, your remote is successfully paired.
If the above steps don’t work, you can use the DIRECTV remote’s code search feature. This allows you to search for a code that will pair the remote to your receiver. To do this, follow these steps:
1. Press and hold the “SELECT” and “MUTE” buttons until the green light turns on.
2. Press and release the “CHAN UP” button. The remote will begin searching for the correct code, and the green light will blink and then stay on.
3. When the receiver turns off, press “SELECT” to store the code.
If you’re still having trouble, refer to the manual or online support for additional troubleshooting tips specific to your DIRECTV receiver and remote model.
