To program your DirecTV remote to control your TV, follow these steps:
1. Turn on your TV using its power button.
2. Find the remote code for your TV brand. You can either find this in the DirecTV remote manual or online at the DirecTV website. Most major TV brands will have a list of corresponding remote codes.
3. Activate programming mode:
– On your DirecTV remote, press and hold the “TV” button at the top of the remote until the red light comes on, then release the “TV” button.
– The red light will blink and stay on.
4. Enter the TV remote code:
– Using the number keys on your DirecTV remote, enter the 3-digit code for your TV brand. The red light should blink and then remain on.
– If the red light blinks and turns off, the code was not recognized, and you should try a different code for your TV brand.
5. Test the remote:
– Point the remote at the TV and press the “Power” button.
– If the TV turns off, the remote is successfully programmed. If not, repeat the process with a different code.
6. Exit programming mode:
– Once the TV responds correctly, press the “TV” button to lock in the code and exit programming mode.
If you don’t know the code for your TV brand or it doesn’t work with the codes provided, you can try the auto search method:
1. Turn on your TV.
2. Activate programming mode by pressing and holding the “TV” button until the red light stays on.
3. Press and release the “Mute” and “Enter” buttons at the same time. The remote will begin searching for the code.
4. Once the remote finds the code, it will automatically turn off the TV.
5. Press the “TV” button to lock the code, and the red light will turn off.
This should allow you to control your TV’s power and volume using your DirecTV remote.
