Perfect replacement for the DirecTV remote. easy to program. Can do RF and IR. you need to know how to set to match your setup. DirecTV Remote Control Doesn't Work, IR vs RF mode: If you've recently received a new remote control (or new receiver; have changed remotes or changed receivers) from DirecTV and pressing CHAN up/down doesn't work, one cause of the problem could be that the receiver is expecting an RF remote but your new remote is an IR-only remote. DirecTV makes two kinds of remotes, IR-only and IR/RF. IR stands for Infared and means the remote must be pointed directly at the receiver. RF stands for Radio Frequency and means the remote is multi-directional. You can tell what kind of remote you have by looking at the number in the upper-left corner of the remote. Examples are RC64R, RC65, RC65RB, RC65RX, etc. If the model number has an "R" as one of the last two letters, then the remote supports RF. If it does not have an "R" as one of the last letters, it is IR-only. Both the receiver and the remote control can be put into either IR or RF mode. When you change the mode of the receiver, it will give onscreen instructions for how to also change the mode of the remote control. Both the receiver and the remote control must be in the same mode for things to work. Fixing It: Fixing the problem involves setting the receiver to expect an IR remote. Use the buttons on the front of the receiver. Press MENU then use the down arrow button (under the SELECT button) to highlight Settings & Help, then Settings, Remote Control, and finally IR/RF Setup. If the problem is what this guide hypothesizes, then your receiver will be currently set to RF and you need to change it to IR. Choose IR and then complete the onscreen instructions. Your new remote should now work when it is pointed directly at the receiver. Changing the Remote Control Mode: When switching the IR/RF mode of the receiver, it displays onscreen instructions for also switching the mode of the remote control. Those instructions are reproduced here. To put the remote control into IR mode: Press and hold MUTE & SELECT, wait for two blinks, release Enter 9 6 1 Press CHAN down To put the remote control into RF mode: Press and hold MUTE & SELECT, wait for two blinks, release Enter 9 6 1 Press CHAN up Enter last 6 digits of the Receiver ID number, found on a sticker in the access card compartment Press SELECT PROGRAMMING TO CONTROL YOUR TV Now that you have successfully programmed the new DIRECTV remote to operate your DIRECTV Receiver, you will want to program this remote to control your TV. 1.
