model number (on the back or bottom panel)

SEARCHING FOR YOUR CODE
If your TV,VCR,DIRECTV Receiver, or auxiliary device
does not respond to the DIRECTV universal remote control after trying all of the codes listed for your brand, or if
your brand is not listed at all, try searching for your code.
For example, to search for a code for your TV:
1. Turn on your TV.
2. On the DIRECTV universal remote control,
press TV once.Then press and hold Setup until
the TV key blinks twice,then release Setup.
3. Enter 9 - 9 - 1.The TV key will blink twice.
4. Aim the remote control at the TV and slowly
alternate between pressing Power and TV.
Stop when the TV turns off.
NOTE: In the search mode,the DIRECTV universal
remote control will send IR codes from its library to
the selected device, starting with the most popular
code first.
5. Press Setup once to lock in the code.
6. To search for the codes of your other devices,
repeat steps 1 through 5,but substitute the
appropriate key (i.e.,VCR,AUX,or DIRECTV) for
the device you are searching for.
23
CHECKING THE CODES
If you have set up the DIRECTV universal remote control
using the Searching For Your Code procedure (on the pre-
vious page), you may need to find out which four-digit
code is operating your equipment.For example, to find
out which code is operating your TV:
1. Turn on your TV.
2. On the DIRECTV universal remote control,
press TV once.Then press and hold Setup until
the TV key blinks twice,then release Setup.
3. Enter 9 - 9 - 0.
4. To view the code for the first digit, press 1 once.
Wait 3 seconds and count the number of LED
blinks (e.g., 3 blinks = 3) and write down the
number in the leftmost TV Code box below.
NOTE: If a code digit is “0”,the LED will not blink.
5. Repeat step 4 three more times for remaining
digits. Use 2 for the second digit,3 for the third
digit, and 4 for the fourth digit. Finish writing
down the code in the TV Code boxes below.
6. To check for other device codes,repeat steps 1
to 5, but substitute the appropriate key (i.e.,
VCR, AUX,or DIRECTV) for the device you are
checking.Write down the codes in the appropriate boxes on pages 10 and 12.
24
USING THE MASTER POWER KEY
The DIRECTV universal remote control is equipped with
a unique feature that allows you to sequentially turn on or
off all of your home entertainment devices with a single
key press in the following way:
1. Point the remote control at the devices.
2. Press and hold Powerfor 3 seconds to activate
the Master Power feature. Thereafter,your
DIRECTV universal remote control will
sequentially turn on or off all of your home
entertainment devices.
Depending on what mode is currently selected,
the DIRECTV universal remote control will
send IR commands to the devices in this order:
Start Mode Device On/Off End Mode
DIRECTV TV,VCR,AUX DIRECTV
TV VCR,AUX,DIRECTV DIRECTV
VCR AUX, DIRECTV, TV DIRECTV
AUX DIRECTV, TV,VCR DIRECTV
For example, if TV is selected, pressing and
holding Power for 3 seconds will first turn on
(or off) the TV, then the VCR, then the auxiliary device, and finally the DIRECTV Receiver.
NOTE: The DIRECTV universal remote control
always defaults to the DIRECTV mode after all devices
are turned off. Therefore,the initial power-on settings
will always be DIRECTV,TV, VCR,and AUX,with the
remote control returning to the DIRECTV mode as long
as no other device key is pressed first.
25
RE-ASSIGNING DEVICE KEYS
The DIRECTV universal remote control can be set up to
control a second TV or VCR, or any combination of up
to four home entertainment devices. For example, to
have the DIRECTV universal remote control a TV, a
DIRECTV Receiver, and two VCRs,you will need to
re-assign the unused AUX key to operate the second VCR
as follows:
1. On the DIRECTV universal remote control,
press AUX once.Then press and hold Setup
until the AUX key blinks twice,then release
Setup.
2. Enter 9 - 9 - 2.
3. Press VCR once, then press AUX once. The
AUX key will blink twice.
4. The AUX key is now ready to be programmed
for your second VCR.See Programming Other
Device Control on page 11.
To re-assign other device keys,repeat steps 1 to 4 and
substitute the key sequence using the following chart:
To Re-Assign Perform Key Sequence
VCR as 2nd TV key: Setup - 9 - 9 - 2 - TV - VCR
VCR as 2nd AUX key: Setup - 9 - 9 - 2 - AUX - VCR
VCR as 2nd
DIRECTV key: Setup - 9 - 9 - 2 - DIRECTV - VCR
VCR back to VCR: Setup - 9 - 9 - 2 - VCR - VCR
AUX as 2nd TV key: Setup - 9 - 9 - 2 - TV - AUX
AUX as 2nd VCR key: Setup - 9 - 9 - 2 - VCR - AUX
AUX
as 2nd
DIRECTV key:

back to
AUX
Upon completion of a re-assignment,the selected mode
key will blink twice to confirm your selection.Then,you’ll
need to program device control (see Programming Other
Device Control on page 11).
