Programming DirecTV Remote Codes to Element TVs
An important component of programming a universal remote to a TV are codes. These are unique combination of numbers that are encoded into a device that will establish command and control. These codes are different for device types and brands in order to ensure compatibility. With this at hand, you can activate your TV and other devices with ease and convenience.
Here is a detailed tutorial on how you can program your Element TV to a DirecTV remote for a hassle and interrruption-free entertainment setup:
1. Gather all the codes necessary for the procedure by listing all the codes that correspond to your DirecTV remote type or model. This way, you can immediately enter the code when it’s needed, without scanning through the list in the middle of the process.
2. Turn on the TV that you want to connect with the remote. Also make sure that your remote control is equipped with fully batteries and completely functioning.
3. Aim your remote control to the TV for pairing and sycnhronization.
4. On your remote control, press and hold the SELECT and MUTE buttons together until the green LED lights flashes three times.
5. Input the correct four or five digit codes for your Element TV. Every time you enter a set of code, the LED light will blink for each number pressed.
6. A green light will flash two times on your remote control which indicates that the programming was successful.
7. If the code you entered did not work, use another code. This may take multiple tries, there’s no need to worry since this usually happens. There are multiple codes provided below for you to select.
8. Aim your remote control towards the TV, then press and hold the power button.
9. Release the power button if the TV turns off.
10. If the device turned off, it is an indicator that the programming was successful. To confirm it really is working, turn on your TV, and check if the other buttons are working with the TV.
11. Once you have tested the other remote control functions on your TV, this means that the programming has worked. If your TV doesn’t respond to any commands, you need to repeat the same process again using a different code.
The whole task of encoding is a very tedious task that will test your patience and focus. The key here is to work slowly, otherwise you might end up repeating the steps.
