To get your DirecTV remote to control the volume on your Samsung TV, you can follow these steps:
1. Start by pressing the “Menu” button on your remote control to access the menu options.
2. Use the arrow buttons on the remote to navigate to the “Settings” option and press the OK/Select button to enter the settings menu.
3. In the settings menu, look for the “Remote Control Setup” option and select it.
4. Within the remote control setup menu, you should find an option called “Pair/Program Remote.” Select this option to proceed.
5. Next, you may see a prompt asking you to choose the type of device you want to program. In this case, select “Change Audio Device” as we want to adjust the volume control.
6. A list of audio device brands will appear on the screen. Scroll through the list using the arrow buttons on the remote until you find and select “Samsung.”
7. At this point, you may be asked to enter the model number of your Samsung TV. If you are unsure about the model number, you can usually find it on the back or bottom of your TV, or in the user manual. Enter the model number using the numeric keypad on the remote and press OK/Select to confirm.
8. If the remote successfully recognizes your Samsung TV model, you will see a confirmation message on the screen. Select “It worked” or a similar option to complete the pairing process.
Once you have completed these steps, your DirecTV remote should now be programmed to control the volume on your Samsung TV. You can test this by using the volume buttons on the remote to adjust the volume and see if it responds on your TV.
Please note that the exact steps and options may vary slightly depending on the model of your DirecTV remote and Samsung TV. However, the general process should be similar. If you encounter any issues or need further assistance, you can consult the user manual for your specific remote or contact DirecTV customer support for further guidance.
