To program your DIRECTV remote to work with your TV, follow these steps:
Method 1: Using the DIRECTV Remote Control Code
1. Turn on your TV and make sure it’s set to the input where your DIRECTV receiver is connected (e.g., HDMI 1, HDMI 2).
2. Press and hold the “TV” button on your DIRECTV remote until the green LED at the top of the remote turns on, then release the “TV” button.
3. Press and release the “Mute” and “Enter” buttons at the same time. The green LED blinks once and then stays on.
4. Enter the 5-digit code for your TV brand using the number buttons on the remote. You can find a list of TV codes on the DIRECTV website or in the remote’s manual. If the code is correct, the green LED will turn off.
5. Test the remote by trying to control the power, volume, and mute functions on your TV. If it works, you’re all set. If not, repeat the process with a different code.
Method 2: Using the Auto Code Search Feature
1. Turn on your TV.
2. Press and hold the “TV” button on your DIRECTV remote until the green LED at the top of the remote turns on, then release the “TV” button.
3. Press and hold the “Select” and “Mute” buttons at the same time until the green LED blinks and stays on.
4. Press and release the “Channel Up” button. The remote will begin searching for the correct code for your TV. This process can take several minutes. When the remote finds the correct code, the green LED will blink and then turn off.
5. Test the remote by trying to control the power, volume, and mute functions on your TV.
Method 3: Using the DIRECTV Receiver’s On-Screen Setup
1. Press the “Menu” button on your DIRECTV remote.
2. Go to “Settings & Help”, then select “Settings.”
3. Choose “Remote Control” and then select “Program Remote.”
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to program the remote to control your TV.
Once the setup is complete, your DIRECTV remote should be able to control your TV’s power, volume, and other basic functions.
