4-3. Programming the Remote Control
The DIRECTV
®
High-Definition Receiver remote control is a multi-brand or universal remote
control that can be programmed to control most remote-controllable devices from other man-
ufacturers.
1.
Test your remote control
To find out whether your remote control can operate a component without programming.
Turn on the component such as a VCR and press the corresponding mode button (VCR) on
the remote control while pointing at the component. Use the
Power
and
CH +/-
buttons to
see if the component responds properly. If not, the remote control requires programming.
2.
Turn on the component to be programmed. Then press the corresponding mode button on
the remote control.
3.
Press the
Power
button and the
Mute
button simultaneously. The remote control is now
ready to program the code for the component.
4.
There are two ways to find the right code of the component.
First, if you press the
CH +/-
buttons repeatedly, the code will change one at a time. Press
the
Power
button after each code change. If the right code is found, the device will turn
off.
Second, enter the code number using the digit buttons on the remote control. The right
code numbers for the corresponding component can be found on the following pages.
Again, if the code is correct, the device will turn off.
5.
Press the
Exit
button to store the programming code.
6.
Test the remote control functions to see if the component responds properly. If not, repeat
from step 2.
NOTE
The remote control may not control
all models of other brands.
