To connect a DIRECTV remote to your receiver, follow these steps:
1. Turn on your DIRECTV receiver: Make sure your DIRECTV receiver is powered on and connected to your TV.
2. Prepare the remote: Insert fresh batteries into the DIRECTV remote if they are not already installed.
3. Program the remote:
– On the remote, press and hold the Menu button until the green light on the remote turns on (this takes about 5 seconds).
– Once the green light is on, press and release the Select button. The green light should blink and then remain on.
4. Enter the receiver’s ID:
– On the remote, press and release the Mute and Enter buttons simultaneously. This will send a signal to the receiver to start the pairing process.
– Wait for the receiver to respond. The green light on the remote will flash twice, and the remote should now be connected to the receiver.
5. Test the remote: Try using the remote to change the channel or adjust the volume. If it works, the remote is successfully connected.
If you are using a new remote or switching between multiple receivers, you may need to enter a code manually. To do this, refer to the manual for your specific remote model or use the on-screen instructions provided by DIRECTV.
If pairing fails or you have trouble, you may want to reset the remote or receiver and try again.
