To reprogram your DIRECTV remote control, follow these steps based on the type of remote you have:
For DIRECTV Universal Remote (Standard Remote):
1. Turn on your TV and the device you want to control (TV, audio system, etc.).
2. Press and hold the “Select” and “Mute” buttons at the same time until the green light at the top of the remote turns on, then release both buttons.
3. Enter the code for your device:
– Find the 5-digit code for your TV brand by visiting the DIRECTV remote code page online or use the code list provided in your remote’s manual.
– Using the remote, enter the 5-digit code. The green light will blink and then stay on.
4. Test the remote: Try using the remote to control the TV or device (volume, power, etc.). If it works, you’re done!
5. If the code doesn’t work, repeat the steps with the next code for your TV or device.
For DIRECTV Genie Remote (RC73, RC72, etc.):
1. Turn on the TV and the device you want to control.
2. Press and hold the “MUTE” and “ENTER” buttons at the same time until the green light at the top of the remote turns on, then release both buttons.
3. Enter the code: The remote will try to auto-program by searching for the correct code. This can take a minute or so. When it finds the right one, the green light will turn off.
4. Test the remote by adjusting volume or turning the TV off and on.
5. If it doesn’t work, repeat the process or try a different code.
Using the “Auto Search” Method (for any remote):
1. Turn on your TV and the device you want to program.
2. Press and hold the “Select” and “Mute” buttons together until the green light at the top stays on, then release both buttons.
3. Press and release the “TV” button (or the button for the device you want to program).
4. Press and release the “On/Off” button (this tells the remote to search for the code automatically).
5. The remote will send out a series of signals. When the TV turns off, press “Enter” to save the code.
