To program a DIRECTV remote to work with your Vizio TV, follow these steps:
1. Turn on Your Vizio TV
Make sure your Vizio TV is powered on before starting the programming process.
2. Find the DIRECTV Remote Control Code
You will need the correct code for your Vizio TV. Most Vizio TVs can be programmed using the following codes:
– 10178
– 11756
– 10030
– 10864
If these codes don’t work, you can also search for additional Vizio TV codes on the DIRECTV website or in your DIRECTV remote manual.
3. Enter Programming Mode on the Remote
– Press and hold the Mute and Select buttons on your DIRECTV remote simultaneously.
– Hold both buttons down until the green light at the top of the remote turns on, then release both buttons. The green light should remain on.
4. Enter the Code
– Using the number keypad on the remote, enter the first 4-digit code for Vizio TV (e.g., 10178).
– If the code is correct, the green light will blink and then remain on.
5. Test the Remote
– Point the remote at the TV and press the Power button.
– If the TV turns off, the remote has been successfully programmed.
– If the TV does not turn off, repeat the process using the next code in the list.
6. Finalize Programming
Once the TV turns off, press the Enter button to store the code. The green light will blink twice and then turn off.
7. Additional Setup (Optional)
If you want to control other functions (like volume or input) with your DIRECTV remote, try testing those buttons after the initial setup to ensure everything is working correctly.
If you have difficulty finding a working code, you can also try the DIRECTV remote’s automatic code search feature. Here’s how:
Automatic Code Search
1. Turn on the Vizio TV.
2. Press and hold the Mute and Select buttons on the DIRECTV remote until the green light stays on.
3. Press and release the TV Power button on the remote.
4. Press and release the Enter button repeatedly until the TV turns off. This might take a few minutes.
5. When the TV turns off, press the Enter button to store the code.
That’s it! Your DIRECTV remote should now be able to control your Vizio TV.
