4-3. Programming the Remote Control
The DIRECTV
®
HD Receiver remote control is a multi-brand or universal remote control that
can be programmed to control most remote-controllable devices from other manufacturers.
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 codes 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.
Press the POWER button.
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.
NOTE
See section 8-24 for instructions on selecting
