HOW TO PROGRAM DIRECT TV-REMOTE CONTROL - [SETUP PROCEEDINGS]

SETUP PROCEEDINGS
SEARCHING FOR TV, AV1 OR AV2 CODES

• If you were unable to find the code for your brand of TV or component, you can try a code search. This process may take up to 30 minutes.
• Turn on the TV or component. Insert a tape or disk if applicable.
• Slide the MODE switch to the TV, AV1or AV2position, as desired.
• Press and hold the MUTE and SELECT keys at the same time until the green light under the selected switch position flashes twice, then release both keys.
• Enter 9-9-1 followed by one of the following four digits:

Satellite > 0

TV>1

VCR/DVD/PVR > 2

Stereo > 3

• Press PWR, or other functions (e.g. PLAY for VCR) you want to use.
• Point the remote at the TV or component and press CHAN▲. Repeatedly press CHAN▲ until the TV or component turns off or performs the action you selected.
• NOTE:  Every time CHAN▲ is pressed the remote advances to the next code and power is transmitted to the component.
• Use the CHAN▼ key to step back a code.
• When the TV or component turns off turns off or performs the action you selected stop pressing the CHAN▲ key. Then, press and release the SELECT key.
• NOTE:  If the light flashes 3 times before the TV or component responds, you've cycled through all codes and the code you need is not available. You must use the remote that came with your TV or component.

Verifying the Codes

Once you have set up the DIRECTV Universal Remote Control using the above steps, use the following instructions to find out the 5-digit code to which your component responded:

1. Slide the MODE switch to the appropriate position.
2. Press and hold the MUTE and SELECT keys at the same time until the green light under the selected switch position flashes twice, then release both keys.
3. Enter 9-9-0. (The green light under the selected switch position flashes twice.)
4. To view the first digit in the code, Press and release then number 1 key. Wait three seconds, and count the number of times the green light flashes. Write this number down in the leftmost TV, AV1 or AV2 code.
5. Repeat step 4 four more times for the remaining digits; i.e., press number 2 for the second digit, 3 for the third digit, 4 for the fourth digit and 5 for the final digit.

CHANGING VOLUME LOCK

Depending on how you set up your remote, the VOL and MUTE may control the volume only on your TV, regardless of the position of the MODE switch. This remote can be set up so that the VOL and MUTE keys work only with the component selected by the MODE switch. To enable this feature, perform the following steps:

• Press and hold the MUTE and SELECT keys until the green light under the DIRECTV position flashes twice, then release both keys.
• Using the number keys, enter 9-9-3. (The green light will flash twice after the 3.)
• Press and release the VOL+ key. (The green light flashes 4 times.)
• Now the VOL and MUTE keys will work only for the component selected by the MODE switch position.

Locking Volume to AV1, AV2 or TV

• Slide the MODE switch to the AV1, AV2or TV position to lock the volume.
• Press and hold the MUTE and SELECT keys until the green lights under the selected switch flashes twice and release both keys.
• Using the number keys, enter 9-9-3. (The green light flashes twice.)
• Press and release the SELECT key. (The green light flashes twice.)

NOTE:  DIRECTV Receivers don’t have volume control,  so the remote will not allow the user to lock volume to the DIRECTV mode.

ACTIVATING AND DEACTIVATING THE RF TRANSMITTER

Your DIRECTV Remote Control features RF (radio frequency) capability. When you activate the RF feature of your remote control, you can control your DIRECTV Receiver from anywhere in your home. You do not need to be within the line of sight of your receiver to control it. NOTE:  Not all DIRECTV Receivers are RF-capable. Also, some RF-capable DIRECTV Receivers include integrated RF antennas and do not require an external antenna. If your receiver requires the external RF antenna, before activating the RF transmitter, locate the RF antenna included with your remote control and insert it into the RF remote antenna coaxial connector on the back of your DIRECTV Receiver.

Activating the RF Transmitter

To activate the RF transmitter on your DIRECTV Remote Control, perform the following steps:

• Locate the 12 digit Receiver ID (RID) number of your DIRECTV Receiver. You can find the RID number on the back panel of your receiver, or inside the CAM access door next to the reset button.
• Write down the last six digits of the RID number.
• Slide the mode switch to DIRECTV, AV1, or AV2.
• Press and hold the MUTE and SELECT keys until the green lights under the selected switch flashes twice and release both keys.
• Using the number keys, enter 9 6 1. (The green light flashes twice.)
• Press and release CHAN▲. (The green light flashes twice.)
• Using the NUMBER keys, enter the the last six digits of the RID number.
• Press and release the SELECTkey. (The green light flashes twice.) 

Deactivating the RF Transmitter

To deactivate the RF transmitter on your DIRECTV Remote Control, perform the following steps:

• Slide the mode switch to DIRECTV, AV1, or AV2.
• Press and hold the MUTE and SELECT keys until the green light under the selected switch flashes twice and release both keys.
• Using the number keys, enter 9 6 1. (The green light flashes twice.)
• Press and release CHAN▼. (The green light flashes twice.)
• The RF transmitter on your remote control is now deactivated. 

RESTORING FACTORY DEFAULT SETTINGS

To reset all the functions of the remote control to the factory defaults (the original, out-of-the-box settings), follow these steps:

• Press and hold the MUTE and SELECT keys at the same time until the green light flashes twice, then release both keys.
• Using the number keys, enter 9-8-1. (The green light flashes 4 times.)

SETTING UP THE TV INPUT KEY

Once you have setup the DIRECTV Remote control for your TV, you can activate the TV INPUT key so you can change the “source” the piece of equipment whose signal is displayed on your TV:

• Slide the MODE switch to the TV position.
• Press and hold the MUTE and SELECT keys until the green light under the TV position flashes twice, then release both keys.
• Using the number keys enter 9-6-0. (The green light under the TV position flashes twice.)
• You now can change the input for your TV.

Deactivating the TV Input Select Key

If you want to deactivate the TV INPUT key, repeat steps 1 through 3 from the previous section; the green light will blink 4 times. Pressing the TV INPUT key will now do nothing.

4. Press and hold the MUTE and SELECT keys at the same time until the green light under AV1 (or AV2) flashes twice, then release both keys.
5. Using the NUMBER keys, enter the 5-digit code for the brand of component being set up. If performed correctly, the green light under the selected position flashes twice.
6. Aim the remote at your component and press the PWR key once. The component should turn off; if it does not, repeat steps 3 and 4, trying each code for your brand until you find the correct code.
7. Repeat steps 1 through 6 to set up a new component under AV2(or AV1).
8. For future reference write down the working code for the component(s) set up under AV1and AV2
