You can see an easy step-by-step guide to programming your remote right on your TV screen:
Press
MENU on your remote control
Select Settings & Help
Select Settings
Select Remote Control
Select Program Remote and follow the on-screen prompts
You can also use the manual method below:
Make sure your TV and your receiver are both on.
Use this
tool to look up the 5-digit code for your TV. There could be more than one code for your brand of TV.
Slide the MODE switch on your remote control to the TV position.
Press and hold the
MUTE and
SELECT buttons at the same time until the green light at the top of your remote flashes twice, then release both buttons.
Using the number buttons, enter the 5 digit code for your brand of TV. The green light under the TV should flash twice.
Aim the remote at your TV and press the
VOLUME UP button. If the volume doesn't increase, repeat Steps 3-5, trying a different 5-digit code for your TV. If your remote control fails to program using all available codes, try
scanning for additional codes. If one of the codes worked, proceed to the next step.
Press and hold
MUTE and
SELECT buttons until the green light at the top of your remote control flashes twice.
Enter 9-6-0 using the keypad on the remote control. The green light should flash twice again.
Slide the MODE switch on your remote control to the DIRECTV position.
Follow these steps to scan for additional TV codes using your DIRECTV remote:
Slide the MODE switch on your remote control all the way to the right to the TV position.
Press and hold the
MUTE and
SELECT buttons at the same time until the green light at the top of your remote flashes twice, then release both buttons.
Using the number buttons, enter 9-9-1. The green light on your remote should flash twice.
Aim the remote at your TV and press
CHAN/PAGE UP button. Tap the
CHAN/PAGE UP button repeatedly until the TV powers off.
When the TV powers off, press and release the
SELECT button.
Note: If the green light flashes three times before your TV responds, then all codes have been cycled through. Our remote controls are guaranteed to program to your DIRECTV receiver, but your TV may not be compatible with our remote control.
All of a sudden the remote (both universal and factory) stopped working with the TV. Help!
