To sync your DIRECTV remote to your TV, follow these steps:
1. Turn on the TV and the DIRECTV receiver: Make sure both the TV and the DIRECTV receiver are powered on.
2. Enter TV Input Mode:
– Press and hold the `TV Power` button on your DIRECTV remote until the red indicator light stays on, then release the button.
– Press and release the `Select` button. The red indicator will blink and then remain on.
3. Find the TV brand code:
– Use the code list provided with your remote or go to the DIRECTV website to find the TV manufacturer codes.
– Alternatively, you can search for the code by pressing and releasing the `Ch+` button on the remote until the TV turns off (this can take up to 60 seconds).
4. Program the remote:
– If you know the code for your TV, press and hold the `TV Power` button again until the red light stays on.
– Enter the 3-digit code for your TV brand. The red indicator will blink and then stay on.
– If the code is correct, the TV will turn off. If it doesn’t, repeat the process with a different code or use the search method mentioned in step 3.
5. Test the remote:
– Once your TV powers off, press the `TV Power` button to turn it back on.
– Test other buttons like volume and mute to make sure they are controlling the TV.
If the remote doesn’t sync, you may need to repeat the process or try a different code.
