ABOUT DIRECTV CONTROL
The DIRECTV universal remote control is designed to give
you access to features not found on the original remote
control.It is preprogrammed at the factory to operate a
HNS-manufactured DIRECTV Receiver, so you can skip
this section if you have this brand.However,to use it with
other brands of DIRECTV Receivers, you will need to program the remote control by performing the following steps:
Programming DIRECTV Control
1.Locate the DIRECTV Receiver’s brand and
model number (on the back or bottom panel)
and write it in the spaces below.

press DIRECTV once. Press and hold Setup until
the DIRECTV key blinks twice,then release Setup.

and code for your specific DIRECTV Receiver.

is invalid.Repeat steps 3 and 4 and try entering the
same code again.
