To set up a DIRECTV remote for your TV, follow these steps:
1. Turn on Your TV: Make sure your TV is powered on.
2. Activate the DIRECTV Remote:
– Press and hold the “MENU” button on the DIRECTV remote for 5-10 seconds, until the green light at the top of the remote turns on.
– Release the “MENU” button. The green light will remain on.
3. Program the Remote to Your TV:
– Press and hold the “TV” button at the top of the remote until the green light blinks and then stays on.
– Enter the TV brand code. You can find the code for your TV brand in the DIRECTV remote manual. Some common codes are:
– LG: 10178
– Samsung: 10182
– Sony: 10000
– Vizio: 11756
– Panasonic: 10051
– Enter the first code for your TV brand. The green light will blink and then remain on.
4. Test the Remote:
– After entering the code, try using the remote to control the TV’s volume or power. If it works, you’ve successfully programmed the remote. If not, repeat the process with a different code for your TV brand.
5. Finish the Setup:
– Press the “TV” button again to lock in the code. The green light will turn off.
6. Alternative Auto-Program Method:
– If you don’t want to use codes, you can try the automatic setup:
– With the TV on, press and hold the “TV” button on the remote until the green light stays on.
– Then, press and hold the “ENTER” button. The remote will try automatically to find the correct code for your TV, and the green light will blink and turn off once successful.
If the remote doesn’t seem to work after these steps, you may need to try a few more codes or verify that the remote is in good condition and has fresh batteries.
