To program your DIRECTV remote to control your Samsung TV, follow these steps:
1. Turn on your Samsung TV.
Ensure the TV is powered on and you have a clear line of sight to the remote and TV.
2. Put the DIRECTV remote in TV mode.
– Press and hold the TV button at the top of the DIRECTV remote until it blinks twice, then release the button.
3. Enter the code for Samsung TV.
– Press and release the Mute and Enter buttons at the same time. The remote will attempt to automatically find the correct code for your Samsung TV.
– If it doesn’t work, you will need to manually enter the code.
4. Find the Samsung TV code.
– Use one of the following Samsung TV codes for DIRECTV remotes:
– 0101
– 0102
– 1004
– 1011
– 1012
– 1020
– 1070
To enter a code manually:
– Press and release the TV button on the remote (it should blink once).
– Enter the first 5-digit code for your Samsung TV using the remote’s number pad. After entering the code, the TV button should blink twice if the code was entered correctly.
5. Test the remote.
– Try turning the TV off and on using the remote to check if the code worked.
– If the TV responds to the power on/off function, then you’ve successfully programmed your remote.
– If it doesn’t work, repeat the process with another code.
6. Final step: Confirm functionality.
Once the remote is successfully programmed, test other buttons like volume control, mute, and input selection to make sure the remote is fully functioning.
If none of the codes work, you can try using the Code Search method:
– Press and hold the TV and Mute buttons simultaneously until the TV button blinks twice.
– Release both buttons, then press and release the Enter button. The remote will automatically cycle through all the available codes for your TV.
– Once your TV turns off, press Enter to lock in the code.
