Programming your DIRECTV remote control is a straightforward process. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to program your DIRECTV remote to work with your TV and receiver:
1. Turn on your TV and DIRECTV Receiver
– Make sure both your TV and DIRECTV receiver are powered on.
2. Find the Code for Your TV
– You can look up the remote code for your TV brand in the DIRECTV remote control manual or on their official website. Each TV brand has a specific code that the remote needs to communicate with it.
3. Program the Remote Using the Code
– On your DIRECTV remote, press and hold the “TV” button at the top until the red indicator stays on, then release the button.
– Press and release the “Mute” and “Enter” buttons at the same time. The red light will blink and turn off.
– Using the number keypad, enter the 5-digit code for your TV brand. After entering the code, the red light will blink and turn off.
– If the red light stays on, it means the code has been entered successfully.
4. Test the Remote
– Point the remote at your TV and try adjusting the volume or turning the TV off with the remote. If it works, the programming is complete.
– If it doesn’t work, repeat the process with a different code for your TV brand. You can find a list of codes in the remote’s manual or on the DIRECTV website.
5. Programming the Remote for DIRECTV Receiver
– If you need to program your remote to control the DIRECTV receiver as well, follow similar steps by holding down the “TV” or “AV1” button until the red light stays on, then input the code for your receiver or device.
If you run into any issues, you can also use the DIRECTV remote’s “Auto-Search” feature to automatically find the correct code for your TV.
Using the “Auto-Search” Feature
1. Turn on your TV and receiver.
2. Hold the “TV” button on the remote until the red indicator stays on, then release the button.
3. Press and release the “Enter” button.
4. The remote will begin searching for the correct code for your TV. It will blink and flash during this process.
5. When the correct code is found, the red light will turn off.
6. Test your remote by turning the TV on/off or adjusting the volume.
If these steps don’t work, you may want to check the DIRECTV website or contact customer service for further assistance.
