To program your DIRECTV remote to control your television, follow these steps:
1. Turn on your TV
Make sure the TV you want to control is powered on.
2. Find the TV Code
You will need a code for your TV brand to pair the remote. You can find the list of TV codes for various brands in the DIRECTV remote’s user manual, or you can also find them online. Alternatively, you can follow the auto-search method below to automatically find the code.
3. Press and Hold the “TV” Button
On your DIRECTV remote, press and hold the “TV” button at the top of the remote until the green light at the top of the remote stays on, then release the “TV” button.
4. Enter the Code
– Using the number buttons on the remote, enter the 3-digit code for your TV brand. The green light should blink and then remain on if the code was entered correctly.
5. Test the Remote
– After entering the code, try pressing the “Power” button on the remote to see if your TV turns off. If it does, your TV is successfully paired with the remote.
– If the TV does not turn off, repeat steps 3 and 4 with a different code from the list.
6. Auto Search Method (If the Code Doesn’t Work)
If you can’t find the right code or if the codes don’t work, you can use the auto-search feature:
1. Press and hold the “TV” button and the “Select” button at the same time until the green light turns on, then release both buttons.
2. Press and release the “Channel Up” button until your TV turns off. You may have to press this button multiple times (up to 100 times) as the remote searches for the correct code.
3. Once your TV turns off, press the “Select” button to store the code.
7. Test and Finalize
– After programming the remote, test the volume and power buttons to make sure they control the TV properly. If everything works, the setup is complete.
– If it doesn’t work, repeat the process using a different code or the auto-search method again.
Additional Tips:
– Ensure that you’re entering the correct code for your TV brand.
– If the remote isn’t responding, check the batteries and make sure you’re within range of the TV.
