To program a DIRECTV remote to your TV, follow these steps:
1. Turn on your TV and the DIRECTV receiver.
2. Find the 5-digit code for your TV brand:
– You can find this code in the DIRECTV remote manual, or you can look it up online by searching for your TV’s brand and “DIRECTV remote code.”
– Alternatively, you can use the DIRECTV remote’s automatic code search function to find the correct code.
3. Put the remote in TV mode:
– Press and hold the TV Power button on the remote until the green light on the remote stays on (about 3 seconds), then release the button. The green light will blink and then remain on.
4. Enter the code:
– Using the number buttons on the remote, enter the 5-digit code for your TV brand. The green light will blink and then turn off to indicate the code was accepted.
5. Test the remote:
– Point the remote at the TV and press the Power button to see if the TV turns off. If it does, the remote is successfully programmed.
– If the TV does not turn off, repeat the process with a different code or use the code search method below.
If you don’t have the code:
1. Press and hold the “Mute” and “Select” buttons on the DIRECTV remote simultaneously until the green light blinks twice, then release both buttons.
2. Press and release the “TV” button (the green light should blink and then stay on).
3. Press and release the “Enter” button. The remote will begin searching for the code automatically, sending out signals to the TV.
4. When your TV turns off, press the Enter button to store the code.
If you follow these steps correctly, your DIRECTV remote should now be able to control your TV!
