To set up your DIRECTV remote to control your TV, follow these steps:
1. Turn on Your TV
Make sure your TV is powered on and that it’s set to the correct input source (the one connected to the DIRECTV receiver).
2. Turn on Your DIRECTV Receiver
Ensure your DIRECTV receiver is on and connected to the TV.
3. Find the TV Brand Code
You need the code for your TV brand to program the remote. Here’s how to find it:
– On the back or inside the battery cover of your DIRECTV remote, you’ll see a list of TV brand names along with corresponding 3-digit codes.
– If you don’t have the code list, you can also look it up on the DIRECTV website or in the user manual.
4. Program the Remote
– Press and hold the “TV” button on the remote until it blinks twice, then release the button.
– Press and hold the “Enter” button until the TV button blinks twice, then release it.
– Enter the 3-digit code for your TV brand. The TV button will blink twice again if the code is entered correctly. If the TV button blinks once and stays on, you may have entered the wrong code. Try another code from the list.
5. Test the Remote
After programming the code, test the remote to ensure it controls the TV:
– Try turning the TV off and on using the remote’s power button.
– Try adjusting the volume or changing the channel.
– If it doesn’t work, repeat the process using a different code.
6. Use the Remote for TV Control
Once the remote is successfully programmed, you should be able to use it for power, volume, and input control on your TV.
If you can’t get it to work after multiple attempts, you may want to try the “Auto Search” method, which allows the remote to search for the correct code automatically.
