To program your DIRECTV remote to control your Vizio TV, follow these steps:
1. Turn on your Vizio TV by pressing the power button on the TV or using its remote.
2. Press and hold the “TV” button on your DIRECTV remote until the green light at the top of the remote stays on. Once the light stays on, release the “TV” button.
3. Press and hold the “Select” and “Mute” buttons at the same time for about 3 seconds. The green light at the top of the remote will blink and then stay on.
4. Enter the Vizio TV code:
– Using the number buttons on the DIRECTV remote, enter the 5-digit code for Vizio. Some common Vizio codes for DIRECTV remotes are:
– 11756
– 10864
– 10030
– 10178
– After entering the code, the green light will blink and then turn off.
5. Test the remote: Point the DIRECTV remote at the Vizio TV and press the “Power” button. If the TV turns off, the programming was successful. If the TV does not turn off, repeat the steps using a different code.
6. Complete the setup: If the code worked, you’re done. If the TV doesn’t respond to any of the codes, try searching for the correct code by following the steps for “Code Search” on the DIRECTV remote.
To use the Code Search feature:
1. Press and hold the “TV” button until the green light stays on.
2. Press and hold the “Enter” button until the green light blinks and turns off.
3. Release both buttons and the green light will blink again.
4. Press and release the “Power” button on the remote every 5 seconds until the TV turns off. This could take up to 90 seconds. When the TV turns off, press “Enter” to store the code.
After following these steps, your DIRECTV remote should be programmed to control your Vizio TV.
