To program a DIRECTV remote to control a Samsung TV, follow these steps:
1. Turn on your TV: Ensure your Samsung TV is powered on.
2. Press and hold the “TV” button on your DIRECTV remote: Hold it until the green light at the top of the remote turns on, then release the button.
3. Press and hold the “Select” and “Mute” buttons together: Hold both buttons down at the same time until the green light blinks twice, then release both buttons.
4. Enter the Samsung TV code:
– Use the number buttons on your remote to enter the 5-digit code for Samsung TVs. Some common codes for Samsung TVs include:
– 0101
– 0121
– 0178
– 10812
– 10178
– The green light will blink and then stay on if the code is entered correctly.
5. Test the remote: Try controlling the volume or turning the TV on and off to see if the remote is working. If it doesn’t work, repeat the process using a different code until it functions correctly.
6. If the code doesn’t work: If the remote doesn’t work after entering the code, you can try the automatic code search method:
– Press and hold the “TV” button on the remote until the green light stays on, then release the button.
– Press and hold the “Enter” button. The remote will start searching for the correct code. When the TV turns off, press “Enter” again to store the code.
Once you’ve programmed the remote successfully, it should be able to control your Samsung TV.
