To program a DIRECTV remote to a TCL TV, follow these steps:
1. Turn on your TCL TV: Make sure the TV is powered on before proceeding with the programming.
2. Enter TV Programming Mode on the DIRECTV Remote:
– On your DIRECTV remote, press and hold the “TV” button and the “SELECT” button at the same time. Hold both buttons until the “TV” button lights up and stays on.
– Release the buttons. The “TV” button will stay on.
3. Enter the TCL TV Code:
– On the DIRECTV remote, press and release the “Mute” button, then press and release the “Enter” button. This will trigger the remote to start searching for the correct code.
4. Wait for the Remote to Find the Code:
– The remote will send codes to your TCL TV. Once the correct code is found, the “TV” button will blink and then remain on.
5. Test the Remote:
– After the code is programmed, test the functionality by pressing the Power button on the remote to turn off the TV. If the TV turns off, the programming was successful.
– Test other functions (volume, mute, etc.) to make sure the remote controls all necessary features of the TV.
6. If the Code Doesn’t Work:
– If the remote doesn’t respond, repeat the process using a different code. You can refer to the DIRECTV remote manual for a list of codes for TCL TVs, or use the remote’s code search feature.
Using Code Search:
If you don’t have the code or want to use the code search feature:
1. Press and hold the “TV” button and the “SELECT” button until the “TV” button stays on.
2. Release the buttons, then press and release the “Mute” button.
3. Press and release the “Enter” button. The remote will begin searching for the correct code.
4. Once the correct code is found, the “TV” button will blink and remain on. You can then test the remote to confirm the setup.
This should program your DIRECTV remote to control your TCL TV. If needed, consult the DIRECTV user manual for more specific details or troubleshooting tips.
