To program your DIRECTV remote to your TV, follow these steps:
1. Turn on Your TV and DIRECTV Receiver
Make sure both your TV and DIRECTV receiver are powered on.
2. Press and Hold the ‘TV’ Button on Your Remote
On your DIRECTV remote, press and hold the “TV” button at the top. Keep holding it until the red LED at the top of the remote stays on, then release the “TV” button.
3. Press and Hold the ‘Enter’ Button
Now press and hold the “Enter” button while the red LED is on. After a few seconds, the red LED will blink and then remain on.
4. Enter the Code for Your TV Brand
Look up the programming code for your TV’s brand. You can find these codes in the DIRECTV remote’s manual or online. Once you have the code, enter it using the number buttons on the remote. The red LED will blink and turn off once the code is entered correctly.
5. Test the Remote
Point the remote at your TV and try using the remote to control the TV (e.g., adjust volume, power on/off). If the remote controls the TV, you’re done. If not, repeat the process using a different code for your TV brand.
6. Alternative Method (Code Search)
If the code for your TV brand doesn’t work or you can’t find it, you can use the code search method:
– Press and hold the “TV” button until the red LED stays on, then release the button.
– Press and release the “Mute” button.
– Press and release the “Enter” button.
– The red LED will blink and turn off.
The remote will now search for the code that works with your TV. Wait for the TV to respond (this can take a few minutes). When the TV turns off, press “Enter” to save the code.
7. Check for Complete Control
After the code is entered and the TV responds, try turning the TV on and off, adjusting the volume, and using other basic functions to ensure full control.
That’s it! Your DIRECTV remote should now be programmed to your TV.
