To program a DIRECTV remote control, follow these steps:
1. Turn on your device:
– For TV: Turn on your TV or another device you want the remote to control.
– For DIRECTV Receiver: Make sure the DIRECTV receiver is also turned on.
2. Find the code for your TV or device:
– You can find the code for your TV or other devices in the DIRECTV remote manual or by visiting the DIRECTV website. The code is a 3 or 5-digit number specific to your TV brand or device.
3. Program the remote using the code:
– Step 1: On your DIRECTV remote, press and hold the “Menu” button until the green light at the top of the remote turns on.
– Step 2: While holding the “Menu” button, press and release the “Select” button. The green light will flash and then stay on.
– Step 3: Press and hold the “Mute” and “Enter” buttons at the same time. Keep them pressed until the green light blinks and then stays on.
– Step 4: Release both buttons. The green light should stay on. Now, you can enter the 3- or 5-digit code for your device using the number buttons on the remote.
– Step 5: Once you enter the code, the green light will blink and then turn off if the code is correct.
4. Test the remote:
– Test the remote by pressing the power button. If the TV or device turns off, the remote is programmed correctly. If not, repeat the process with a different code.
5. If the code search method is required:
If you don’t have the code, you can use the DIRECTV remote’s automatic code search feature:
– Step 1: Turn on your TV or other device.
– Step 2: Press and hold the “Select” and “Mute” buttons simultaneously until the green light turns on.
– Step 3: Release both buttons. The green light will blink and remain on.
– Step 4: Press and release the “Power” button repeatedly until the TV or device turns off. This may take several presses, so be patient.
– Step 5: Once the device turns off, press the “Enter” button to store the code.
That’s it! Your DIRECTV remote should now be programmed to control your TV or other devices.
