To sync your DIRECTV Genie remote with your Genie receiver, follow these steps:
1. Turn on the TV and Genie receiver:
Make sure both your TV and the Genie receiver (the box) are powered on.
2. Press and hold the “MUTE” and “ENTER” buttons:
On the Genie remote, press and hold the “MUTE” and “ENTER” buttons at the same time for about 3-5 seconds, or until the green light at the top of the remote turns on.
3. Release the buttons:
Once the green light comes on, release the “MUTE” and “ENTER” buttons.
4. Enter the receiver’s code:
The green light should now blink and remain on. Using the number pad on the remote, enter the code for your Genie receiver. If you don’t know the code, the remote may automatically begin searching for it. You will see the green light blink once and then remain on solid when the code is accepted.
5. Test the remote:
After the remote syncs successfully, test it by trying to control the Genie receiver or the TV. If everything works, you’re done! If not, repeat the process or try using the code search method to find the correct code.
If you’re unable to sync the remote or need to troubleshoot, you can also perform a manual code search or check the user manual for more specific guidance based on your model of Genie remote and receiver.
