To program your DirecTV remote to work with a Samsung TV, follow these steps:
1. Turn on your Samsung TV using the power button on the TV or the remote.
2. Find the remote’s “TV” button: On the DirecTV remote, locate the button labeled “TV” at the top of the remote.
3. Press and hold the “TV” button: Hold down the “TV” button until the green light at the top of the remote turns on, then release the button. The green light will stay on.
4. Enter the Samsung TV code:
– Press and release the “Mute” and “Select” buttons at the same time. The green light will blink and then remain on.
– Using the keypad, enter the 4-digit code for Samsung TVs. If the code is correct, the green light will turn off.
Some common Samsung TV codes include:
– 0101
– 0111
– 0072
– 0090
– 1004
If none of these work, you can find a complete list of codes in the DirecTV remote manual or on their website.
5. Test the remote: After entering the code, try turning the TV off using the remote’s power button. If the TV turns off, the setup was successful. If it does not turn off, repeat the process with another code or use the automatic code search method (outlined below).
Automatic Code Search Method
If you don’t know the code for your Samsung TV, follow these steps:
1. Turn on your TV.
2. Press and hold the “TV” button: As in step 3, press and hold the “TV” button until the green light turns on and remains on.
3. Press and release the “On/Off” button: The green light will blink and turn off.
4. Press and release the “Enter” button: The remote will begin searching for the correct code automatically. This process may take a minute or more. The green light will blink and turn off once the correct code is found.
5. Test the remote: After the code search finishes, try turning the TV on and off, and adjusting the volume. If it works, the setup is complete.
That’s it! Your DirecTV remote should now be programmed to control your Samsung TV.
