Programming the remote control
Your DIRECTV®Receiver’s remote control can be programmed to operate your TV,
VCR, DVD player and other A/V equipment. There are two ways to program your
remote control:
•Manual method: Using this method, you use the code lists provided in this
chapter to enter the code for your band of TV, VCR, etc. Try this method first;
it tends to be faster.
•Scanning method: Using this method, you use your remote control to go
through the possible codes sets one at a time until you find one that works for
your device. Try this method if there is no code listed for your brand of device,
or if the listed codes do not work.

Manual method

To use the manual method to program your DIRECTV Receiver’s remote control,
follow these steps:
1Turn on the device you want to control.
2Aim the DIRECTV Receiver’s remote control at the device.
3Simultaneously press the SET button and the device button for the device you
want to program your remote control to operate, (the TV button, for example).
The device button lights up.
4Enter the three-digit code for your device (see the code lists on the following
pages).
If the entered code is correct, the device will turn off.
5Press the device button again.
The button should blink twice and then turn off.
6Repeat the procedure for other devices you wish to operate with your
DIRECTV Receiver’s remote control.
