To sync your DIRECTV remote to your TV, follow these steps:
1. Turn on your TV
Make sure your TV is powered on and that it’s set to the correct input (e.g., HDMI 1, HDMI 2, etc.) that your DIRECTV receiver is connected to.
2. Press and hold the “Mute” and “Enter” buttons
On your DIRECTV remote, press and hold both the Mute button and the Enter button at the same time. Keep them pressed until the green light at the top of the remote blinks twice, then release both buttons.
3. Enter the TV brand code
The remote will now be in programming mode. You’ll need to enter the 5-digit code for your TV’s brand. Common TV brands and their codes are listed in your DIRECTV manual, or you can find them online. For example:
– Samsung: 10812
– LG: 10178
– Sony: 10000
– Vizio: 11758
Enter the code using the remote’s number pad. If the code is entered correctly, the green light will blink twice.
4. Test the remote
After entering the code, test the remote by pressing the Power button. Your TV should turn off. If it does, press Enter to store the code.
If the TV does not turn off, repeat the process with a different code for your TV brand.
5. Finalize setup
Once your TV is successfully paired, you can control volume and power with your DIRECTV remote.
If you’re unable to sync your remote, try using the DIRECTV Remote Control Setup Tool on their website for further assistance.
