To set up your DIRECTV remote to control your TV, follow these steps:
1. Turn on Your TV: Make sure your TV is powered on.
2. Press and Hold the “TV” Button: On your DIRECTV remote, press and hold the “TV” button at the top until the green LED flashes twice, then release the button.
3. Enter the TV Code:
– You can find the code for your TV brand in the DIRECTV remote’s manual, or you can use the DIRECTV website to look it up.
– If you have the code, press and release the “Mute” and “Enter” buttons at the same time. The green LED should flash twice and then stay on.
– Enter the 5-digit code for your TV. After entering the code, the green LED will flash twice and then turn off.
4. Test the Remote: Try adjusting the volume or changing the channel on your TV using the DIRECTV remote to ensure it works.
5. If the Code Doesn’t Work:
– If the remote doesn’t control your TV, try repeating the steps with another code.
– Alternatively, you can perform an automatic code search (see next step).
Automatic Code Search:
If you can’t find the right code for your TV, you can use the automatic code search:
1. Press and Hold the “TV” Button: As before, hold the “TV” button until the green LED flashes twice, then release it.
2. Press and Release the “On/Off” Button: After releasing the “TV” button, press and release the “On/Off” button. The green LED should blink and stay on.
3. Press and Release the “Play” Button: Press and release the “Play” button. The remote will begin searching for the correct code. It will send a signal to the TV and, if successful, the TV will turn off.
4. Save the Code: Once the TV turns off, press the “Enter” button to store the code. The green LED will flash twice, and your remote is now set up to control your TV.
That’s it! Your DIRECTV remote should now be able to control both the DIRECTV receiver and your TV.
