Question about Philips Televison & Video

Problems programming DVR remote to TV

I cannot get the Directv & TV power switch to work. The box is new and the remote is new. The TV is a Philips/Magnavox smart series TV. Have tried @ 50 codes. Some turn TV on and off but not DVR. I've also tried the trick about the code 9-9-1-1 to search for the needed code. Nothing has worked. I would just like to turn both on/off with one button. Is the remote defective? Directv just said, ''Oh, it's TV.''

If your DirecTV remote is in SAT mode and the power button isn't turning the receiver on and off, you will likely need a new remote. There isn't suppose to be any trick to getting the power button on a remote to work. However, only DirecTV tech support can confirm this. I would give them a call right away.

I have a blue light and an orange but my tv will not come on

If you are referring to an R15 (the big box in the picture with your post), there should be 3 blue lights on the front of the DVR: one to the far left (power), a big circle in the middle, and one on the right indicating the resolution the DVR is currently trying to send to the TV. The orange light indicates that something is being recorded; either a show or something from DTV like channel listings. The orange light has nothing to do with your TV but may indicate that the DVR is downloading setup information.

As for turning your TV on, when you first get DTV, the DVR remote does not know how to talk to your TV set, only the DVR, so you have to teach the remote to talk to your TV. To do that, turn your TV on with the remote that came with it (or the on/off switch on the TV if you're a dinosaur like me) and change the TV input to whatever input the DVR is attached to - usually HDMI or Component. If you see something (a TV show, a guide, a DirecTV logo, etc.) you're in the right place. Now hit the Menu button on the DTV remote and you'll see a menu on the left that includes "Setup". Use the arrow buttons on the DTV remote to move to Setup, press Select, and then select Program Remote. Follow those instructions carefully, step by step, and you should be all set. (Caveat: I am working from memory so the exact wording might not match and I might have missed a menu level. If so, I apologize.)

Why can't i see 1080p programs on my directv hd dvr? The test on the hdr says my receiver doesn't receive 1080p. My tv is a Sharp LC-62C42U which is suppose to receive 1080p!

Your DVR can't detect whether your TV can do HD or not. If the message is stating that your receiver (which is your DVR) can't receive 1080P, then you'll need to contact DirecTV for assistance. You may need to replace your DVR.

Programming my directv remote to operate this tv, codes dont work

I just programmed mine by using my direct tv remote...
Go to MENU on the direct tv remote
Then highlight HELP & SETTING and press SELECT.
Press SELECT on Remote in the left menu.
Simply follow the onscreen instructions to program your remote. IT IS IMPORTANT TO MAKE SURE YOU HOLD ON AND SEE THE GREEN LIGHT ON THE DIRECT TV REMOTE FLASH TWICE, otherwise it won't work....which is what I think is happening in your case. Good luck.

Remote contol will not work

http://www.directv.com/DTVAPP/global/contentPageIF.jsp?assetId=P4380052#h:1020.989

directv remotes are not guaranteed to work w/ all types of TV's. when programming remote to TV, make sure you are holding down MUTE and SELECT both at the same time for about 4-5 seconds. until it blinks twice at the top of the remote. also the slide switch must be under the "tv" mode on the right hand side. the website i provided is by directv, and has a list of their codes for the brand of tv that you have.

if you are trying to program a remote to a directv box, and none of the codes are working for the directv box, contact directv to have them send you a new remote.
