To sync or pair your DirecTV remote with your receiver, follow these steps:
1. Turn on your TV and DirecTV Receiver: Make sure both devices are powered on before you start syncing.
2. Enter Pairing Mode:
– For the DIRECTV RC73 remote: Hold down the SELECT and MUTE buttons at the same time for about 3 seconds. The green light at the top of the remote will blink twice and remain on.
– For older remotes, the process is generally the same, but the buttons might differ slightly.
3. Find the 5-Digit Code:
– After the green light stays on, press and release the CHANNEL UP button. The remote will start scanning for the correct code.
– When the TV turns off or the receiver responds, press the SELECT button to store the code.
4. Test the Remote: After syncing, test the remote by turning the TV on and adjusting the volume or changing channels to ensure the remote is working correctly.
If this method doesn’t work, you can try using a specific code for your TV model. You can find the code list in the DirecTV manual or on the DirecTV website.
Alternatively, you can use the “auto code search” method or contact DirecTV support for assistance.
