how to program a directv remote for a samsung tv
To program your DIRECTV remote to control your Samsung TV, follow these steps:
1. Turn on your Samsung TV: Make sure the TV is powered on before you begin programming.
2. Find the remote’s “TV” button: On your DIRECTV remote, locate the button labeled “TV.” This is usually located at the top of the remote.
3. Press and hold the “TV” button: Press and hold the “TV” button until the green light at the top of the remote turns on. This usually takes a few seconds. Once the green light stays on, release the “TV” button.
4. Press and release the “On/Off” button: While the green light is still on, press and release the “On/Off” button. The green light will blink and then remain solid.
5. Enter the Samsung TV code: Using the number pad on the remote, enter the Samsung TV code. Common Samsung TV codes for DIRECTV remotes are:
– 12051
– 10060
– 10178
– 10702
If the code is correct, the green light will turn off. If the green light blinks and then stays on, that means the code was incorrect, and you should try another code.
6. Test the remote: After programming the remote, try using the DIRECTV remote to control the power and volume of your Samsung TV. If it works, the programming is complete.
7. Repeat the steps if necessary: If the remote does not control the TV, repeat the steps using a different code from the list until the correct code is found.
If you don’t know the code, you can use the auto-search method:
1. Press and hold the “TV” button until the green light stays on, then release it.
2. Press and release the “On/Off” button (the green light blinks and then stays on).
3. Press and release the “Up Arrow” on the remote. The remote will begin searching for the code.
4. Once the TV turns off, press the “Enter” button to save the code.
Now your DIRECTV remote should be programmed to control your Samsung TV.
