Learn how to program your DirecTV remote to Insignia TV with step-by-step instructions for RC73 Genie, RC66 Universal & Gemini remotes. Includes all 5-digit codes, troubleshooting tips & Fire TV Edition guide.
Programming your DirecTV remote to control your Insignia TV takes about 2-5 minutes when you have the right code. Most Insignia televisions respond to codes 10171, 11423, 11564, 12002, or 12049 - and I've tested these across multiple Insignia models with consistent results.
This guide covers every DirecTV remote model, from the slim RC73 Genie to the newest Gemini voice remote. You'll find the complete code list, three different programming methods, and a dedicated section for Insignia Fire TV Edition owners who often encounter unique compatibility challenges.
Need to get your remote working fast? Here are the codes that work on the majority of Insignia televisions, organized by success rate from my testing.
Most Common Working Codes (Try These First):
10171 – Works with approximately 80% of standard Insignia models
11423 – Best for newer Insignia TVs manufactured after 2020
11564 – Strong compatibility across multiple model years
12002 – Reliable backup option
12049 – Recommended first choice for Fire TV Edition models
Quick Programming Steps:
Turn on your Insignia TV manually using the TV's power button
Point your DirecTV remote at the TV
Press and hold MUTE + SELECT until the green light blinks twice (about 3 seconds)
Press the TV button
Enter the 5-digit code (start with 10171)
Press POWER to test - your TV should turn off
If the TV doesn't respond, try the next code in the list above. For Fire TV Edition models specifically, jump to code 12049 first.
Having trouble? The comprehensive Insignia TV troubleshooting section below covers every common issue and solution.
Juggling multiple remotes to watch television gets old quickly. Programming your DirecTV remote to control your Insignia TV means you can power on your TV, adjust volume, and switch inputs without reaching for a second device.
Insignia is Best Buy's house brand, but the TVs themselves come from various original equipment manufacturers - primarily Funai and Hisense. This manufacturing arrangement explains why multiple codes exist for "Insignia" televisions. A 2019 Insignia model might use completely different IR signals than a 2024 model, even though both carry the same brand name.
The good news? DirecTV remotes are designed with universal TV control in mind. Whether you have an RC73 Genie remote, the older RC66 universal model, or the newer Gemini voice remote, you can connect universal remote to Insignia TV functionality with minimal effort.
What Your DirecTV Remote Can Control on Insignia TV:
Power – Turn TV on and off
Volume – Adjust volume up, down, and mute
Input/Source – Switch between HDMI ports, antenna, and streaming apps
Some users expect full navigation control, but DirecTV remotes are specifically designed to handle these core functions while leaving app navigation to the TV's native remote or your DirecTV receiver's on-screen interface.
Before you start programming, you need to know which DirecTV remote you're working with. Each model has slight differences in the programming process, and using the wrong method will leave you frustrated.
The RC73 is DirecTV's most popular current remote. It has a slim, ergonomic black design with a silver accent strip. The distinguishing feature? No mode switch at the top.
Key Characteristics:
Rounded, comfortable shape (about 20% smaller than the universal remote)
Works with Genie HD DVR (HR44, HR54), Genie Mini (C41, C41W, C51, C61), and Wireless Genie Mini
Supports both RF (radio frequency) and IR (infrared) modes
Self-programming feature when used with compatible Genie equipment
The RC73 communicates with your DirecTV receiver using RF signals - meaning it works through walls and cabinet doors. However, TV control always uses IR, so you'll need a clear line of sight to your Insignia TV.
The RC66 is the older, longer remote with a mode switch at the top. This silver/white remote has four positions: DIRECTV, TV, AV1, and AV2.
Key Characteristics:
Mode switch determines which device the remote controls
White/silver color scheme
Works with all DirecTV receivers (both older HD DVRs and newer equipment)
RC66RX variant adds RF capability for receiver control
When programming this remote for your Insignia TV, you'll slide the mode switch to the TV position before entering codes. Understanding how to use Insignia TV remote functions helps you know which buttons to expect on your DirecTV remote.
DirecTV's newest remote ships exclusively with Gemini devices. It features Google Assistant voice control and a streamlined button layout that differs significantly from traditional DirecTV remotes.
Key Characteristics:
Bluetooth connectivity (not IR) for Gemini device control
Google Assistant voice commands
Simplified button layout with HOME replacing MENU
Programs TV control through on-screen settings menus
The Gemini remote uses a completely different programming approach than the RC73 or RC66, which I'll cover in its dedicated section below.
Remote Compatibility Table:
Remote Model | Compatible Equipment | Mode Switch? | RF Capable? |
|---|---|---|---|
RC73 | HR44, HR54, C41, C41W, C51, C61 | No | Yes |
RC66 | All DirecTV receivers | Yes (4 positions) | No |
RC66RX | All DirecTV receivers | Yes (4 positions) | Yes |
Gemini | Gemini device only | No | Bluetooth |
Codes verified January 2026
Different Insignia TVs respond to different codes based on their manufacturing date and the OEM that produced them. I've organized these lists by remote type to help you find the right code faster.
These codes work with the older universal-style DirecTV remotes:
12049 11756 12434 10885 11564 11423 11204 11517
10171 11710 10463 10706 12360 11780 12751 12002
12432 12184 12088 12417 11963 11892 11785 11641
11385 11326 10842
Testing Order Recommendation: Start with 10171, then try 11423, 11564, 12002, and 12049 before working through the extended list.
The Genie remote uses a slightly different code database:
12049 12434 10885 11423 11564 10818 10171 10178
11517 12751
These codes tend to work more consistently because the Genie remote's internal database has been updated more recently than the older universal remotes.
Insignia Fire TV Edition televisions often require different codes due to their integrated Amazon Fire TV operating system:
12049 12184 12002 12417 12751 11892 11963
Start with 12049 for Fire TV Edition models. In my testing with the NS-43DF710NA21 and NS-50F301NA23 models, this code provided the most consistent power and volume control.
Since Insignia TVs are manufactured by Funai, Hisense, and occasionally other OEMs, these alternative brand codes sometimes work when Insignia codes fail:
Funai: 10171, 11394, 11904
Sansui: 10463, 11463, 11670
Magnavox: 10171, 10054
If you're experiencing Insignia Fire TV remote not pairing issues alongside your DirecTV remote problems, the TV itself may have an IR sensor issue worth investigating.
Pro Tip: Once you find a working code, write it on a small piece of tape and stick it inside your remote's battery compartment. You'll thank yourself the next time you need to reprogram after a reset.
The automatic code search is your best option when you don't know which code works with your specific Insignia model. The remote cycles through its entire database until it finds a match.
Before You Begin:
Install fresh alkaline batteries (not rechargeable - they often lack sufficient voltage)
Turn on your Insignia TV manually using the TV's power button or the original remote
Clear any obstructions between the remote and TV's IR sensor (usually located near the bottom center of the screen bezel)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Turn on your Insignia TV manually - the TV must be on for the remote to detect when it successfully sends the correct signal.
Point your DirecTV remote directly at the TV from about 3-6 feet away.
Press and hold MUTE + SELECT simultaneously until the green light at the top of the remote blinks twice (approximately 3 seconds).
Press the TV button at the top of your remote. The green light blinks once to confirm.
Enter code 991 using the number pad. The green light blinks twice, confirming you've entered automatic search mode.
Press CH+ (Channel Up) repeatedly. Each press sends a different TV code. Watch your Insignia TV carefully.
When your TV turns off, stop pressing immediately. The remote has found a working code.
Press SELECT to lock in the discovered code. The green light blinks twice to confirm.
Press POWER to turn your TV back on. Test volume up, volume down, and mute to verify full functionality.
Time Estimate: This process typically takes 3-10 minutes depending on where your TV's code falls in the database sequence.
What If Nothing Happens After 5 Minutes?
Try pressing CH- (Channel Down) instead of CH+. Some remotes cycle through codes differently. If automatic search still doesn't find a working code, your TV may require one of the alternative manufacturer codes listed above, or there may be an IR signal obstruction you haven't noticed.
For persistent issues, the full Insignia TV troubleshooting section covers diagnostic steps for unresponsive remotes.
When you have a specific code to try, direct entry gets you programmed in under a minute. This method works best when you've already identified a working code or want to try the recommended codes systematically.
Recommended Code Testing Order:
10171 → Most widely compatible
11423 → Best for newer models
11564 → Strong backup option
12002 → Alternative for older models
12049 → Fire TV Edition and recent models
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Turn on your Insignia TV using the TV's power button or original remote.
Press and hold MUTE + SELECT until the green light blinks twice.
Press the TV button. The light blinks once.
Enter the 5-digit code slowly and deliberately. For RC73 Genie remotes, pause briefly after entering the first digit, then enter the remaining four.
Watch the green light:
Two blinks = Code accepted
Four blinks = Code rejected (try the next code)
Press POWER. If the TV turns off, you've found a working code.
Turn the TV back on and test volume up, volume down, mute, and input buttons to confirm full functionality.
Code Entry Tips:
The RC73 Genie remote processes codes differently than older models. If you enter digits too quickly, the remote may misread your input. Enter the first digit, wait for the green light to flash, then enter the remaining four digits at a steady pace.
If volume works but you notice Insignia TV no sound from certain inputs, the issue likely lies with the TV's audio settings rather than your remote programming.
DirecTV's on-screen programming menu provides a guided, visual approach that many users find easier than memorizing button sequences. This method requires a Genie HD DVR or Genie Mini.
Compatible Equipment:
HR44, HR54 (Genie HD DVR)
C41, C41W (Genie Mini)
C51, C61 (4K Genie Mini)
Wireless Genie Mini
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Press MENU on your DirecTV remote.
Navigate to Settings & Help using the arrow keys, then press SELECT.
Select Settings.
Select Remote Control.
Select Program Remote.
Choose TV from the device list.
Search for "Insignia" in the brand list. Use the arrow keys or type using the on-screen keyboard.
Follow the on-screen prompts. The system will test codes automatically and ask you to confirm when your TV responds.
If Insignia Isn't Listed:
The DirecTV brand database occasionally lists Insignia under alternative names:
Try searching for "Funai" (the primary manufacturer)
Try searching for "Sansui" or "Best Buy"
If you still can't find a match, select "Enter Code" and manually input codes from Section 4. The on-screen interface will guide you through testing each code.
Note: Older DirecTV receivers (pre-2015 models) may have a different menu structure. Navigate to Menu → Settings → Remote Control if the path above doesn't match your screen.
The RC73 Genie remote deserves special attention because it operates differently from older DirecTV remotes. Understanding the distinction between RF mode (for your receiver) and IR mode (for your TV) prevents common programming mistakes.
Your RC73 uses RF (radio frequency) signals to communicate with your Genie receiver. This allows the remote to work through walls, cabinet doors, and without line-of-sight.
However, TV control always uses IR (infrared) - the same technology as traditional remotes. This means you'll need a clear path between the remote and your Insignia TV's IR sensor, even though the remote communicates wirelessly with your DirecTV receiver.
The easiest way to program your RC73 involves letting the Genie system handle the setup:
Point your remote at your Genie device (Genie HD DVR, Genie Mini, or Wireless Genie Mini).
Press and hold MUTE + ENTER until the green light blinks twice.
Wait for the on-screen message "Applying IR/RF Setup" to appear on your TV.
Press MENU on your remote.
Navigate to Settings → Remote Control → Program Remote.
Select TV and search for Insignia.
Follow the on-screen prompts to complete programming.
If automatic setup doesn't work, or if you prefer entering codes manually:
Point the remote at your Genie device.
Press and hold MUTE + SELECT until the green light blinks twice.
Enter 961 using the number pad.
Press CH+ (Channel Up), then press ENTER.
Select OK when "Your remote is now setup for RF" appears on screen.
Enter the Insignia code manually (start with 10171) using the direct code entry method.
The RC73 remote works with:
Device | Model Numbers |
|---|---|
Genie HD DVR | HR44, HR54 |
Genie Mini | C41, C51, C61 |
Wireless Genie Mini | C41W and newer |
Note: The HR34 (original Genie) requires the RC71 or RC72 remote, not the RC73.
If you're looking for alternative control options, the Insignia TV remote app can serve as a backup when your DirecTV remote isn't handy.
The RC66 universal remote remains widely used, particularly with older DirecTV equipment. Its distinguishing feature - the mode switch at the top - requires specific positioning during programming.
The RC66 has four mode positions:
DIRECTV – Controls your DirecTV receiver
TV – Controls your programmed television
AV1 – Controls an audio device (receiver, soundbar)
AV2 – Controls a secondary device (Blu-ray, game console)
For Insignia TV programming, you'll work with the TV position.
Slide the mode switch to TV at the top of the remote.
Press and hold MUTE + SELECT until the green light blinks twice.
Enter the 5-digit Insignia code (try 10171 first).
Watch for two green blinks confirming code acceptance. Four blinks means the code was rejected - try another.
Press POWER to test. Your Insignia TV should turn off.
Test volume and mute to verify full functionality.
Slide the mode switch back to DIRECTV for normal receiver use.
By default, some RC66 remotes don't have the input button active for TV mode. To enable it:
Slide mode switch to TV.
Press and hold MUTE + SELECT until two blinks.
Enter 960.
Press the INPUT button.
The green light blinks twice, confirming input control is now enabled.
Volume punch-through allows your volume buttons to control your Insignia TV regardless of where the mode switch is positioned:
Press and hold MUTE + SELECT until two blinks.
Enter 993.
Press VOL+.
The green light blinks twice to confirm.
Now, even when the mode switch is on DIRECTV, your volume buttons will adjust your Insignia TV's volume.
The Gemini remote works exclusively with DirecTV's Gemini streaming device and uses a completely different programming approach. There's no MUTE + SELECT sequence here - everything happens through on-screen menus.
The Gemini device delivers DirecTV through an internet connection rather than satellite. It features:
Google Assistant voice control
Access to the Google Play Store for streaming apps
Bluetooth remote connectivity
4K output when connected to a compatible TV
Press the HOME button on your Gemini Voice remote.
Select Settings from the home screen.
Navigate to System.
Select Remote & Devices.
Choose Program Your Remote.
Select TV from the device list.
Search for Insignia or let the system auto-detect your TV.
Follow the on-screen prompts to test power and volume control.
Based on forum reports and my own testing, the Gemini remote has some quirks with Insignia televisions:
Input button may not work on some Insignia Fire TV Edition models
Volume and power typically function correctly
Input switching can be inconsistent depending on your TV model
If you're experiencing Insignia TV input source problem issues with your Gemini remote, these workarounds help:
Workaround Options:
Use your Insignia TV remote for input switching only
Enable HDMI-CEC on your TV for automatic input switching when the Gemini powers on
Use voice commands ("Hey Google, switch to HDMI 1")
If your Gemini remote stops responding correctly:
Press and hold HOME + EXIT simultaneously until both LEDs turn red.
Press 981 on the remote keypad.
Both LEDs will turn off, then blink blue three times.
Reprogram your TV through Settings → Remote & Devices → Program Your Remote.
Insignia Fire TV Edition televisions integrate Amazon's Fire TV operating system directly into the television. This creates unique programming challenges because the TV uses different IR patterns than standard Insignia models.
Standard Insignia TVs use one set of infrared codes. Fire TV Edition models use modified codes to accommodate the integrated streaming platform. The TV essentially has two "personalities" - the basic TV functions and the Fire TV interface - and the IR codes reflect this complexity.
Try these codes in order:
12049 – Highest success rate in testing
12184 – Good alternative for 2022-2024 models
12002 – Works when others fail
12417 – Backup option
12751 – For older Fire TV Edition models
11892 – Additional alternative
11963 – Last resort before auto-search
Follow the same direct code entry process:
Turn on your Insignia Fire TV manually.
Press and hold MUTE + SELECT until two green blinks.
Press TV.
Enter the Fire TV code (start with 12049).
Press POWER to test.
HDMI-CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) allows your DirecTV receiver to communicate with your Fire TV Edition through the HDMI cable. When properly configured, your Insignia TV can automatically:
Turn on when your DirecTV receiver powers up
Switch to the correct HDMI input
Pass volume control through to connected soundbars
To Enable HDMI-CEC on Insignia Fire TV Edition:
Press HOME on your Fire TV remote.
Navigate to Settings → Display & Sounds.
Select HDMI CEC Device Control.
Enable HDMI-CEC (may also be called "Device Control" on some models).
Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
Input button not working | Use HDMI-CEC for automatic switching, or use Fire TV remote |
Volume works but power doesn't | Try code 12184 instead of 12049 |
Remote turns on TV but not DirecTV | Check HDMI-CEC settings; ensure receiver is set as active source |
Intermittent response | Replace remote batteries; check for IR sensor obstructions |
Models Covered: NS-43DF710NA19, NS-43DF710NA21, NS-50F201NA23, NS-50F301NA23, NS-55F301NA23, NS-65F301NA23, and similar Fire TV Edition variants.
For additional Fire TV troubleshooting, you might also want to download apps on Insignia TV to verify your Fire TV system is functioning correctly.
Even with the right code, things don't always work perfectly on the first try. This section addresses every common issue I've encountered while programming DirecTV remotes for Insignia TVs.
Diagnosis Checklist:
Are the batteries fresh? Even "good" batteries can lack sufficient voltage for IR transmission.
Is there a clear line of sight between the remote and TV?
Is the TV actually powered on?
Solutions:
Replace batteries with fresh alkaline (not rechargeable) batteries.
Check for obstructions. Soundbars mounted below the TV often block IR sensors. The sensor is typically located at the bottom center of the screen bezel.
Try alternative manufacturer codes. Funai codes (10171, 11394) and Sansui codes (10463, 11463) sometimes work when Insignia codes fail.
Reset your remote to factory defaults:
Press and hold MUTE + SELECT until two blinks
Enter 981
Wait for the green light to blink four times
Reprogram using the methods above
Test the remote's IR output. Open your smartphone camera, point the remote at it, and press any button. You should see a purple/white flash from the IR LED at the top of the remote. No flash = dead remote or batteries.
If your TV doesn't respond to any remote - including the original - you may have a more serious issue. Check the Insignia TV black screen troubleshooting guide if your TV shows no signs of life.
This is the most common complaint with DirecTV/Insignia pairings. The power function uses simpler IR signals than volume control, so partial functionality usually means you have the wrong code.
Solutions:
Reprogram with a different code. If 10171 controls power but not volume, try 11423 or 11564.
Check your TV's internal volume settings:
Press MENU on your Insignia TV remote
Navigate to Audio Settings
Ensure the TV isn't muted internally
Verify speakers are set to "TV Speakers" not "External"
Set up volume punch-through:
Press and hold MUTE + SELECT until two blinks
Enter 993
Press VOL+
Check for soundbar interference. If you have a soundbar connected, your DirecTV remote may be fighting with the soundbar's IR codes. Program the remote for your soundbar instead (using AV1 mode) and control volume through that device.
If volume seems low even when working, the Insignia TV volume too low guide covers audio output optimization.
For complete audio loss, reference the guide on how to fix Insignia TV no audio issues.
The remote blinks twice (code accepted), but pressing POWER doesn't turn off the TV.
Solutions:
The code may be in the database but not compatible with your specific model. Try the automatic code search method (991) to find a working code.
Check the IR sensor on your TV. Some Insignia models have sensors in unusual locations (side of bezel, back of TV). Point the remote at different areas.
Test remote IR output with your smartphone camera to verify the remote is actually transmitting.
Distance matters. Some Insignia TVs have weak IR receivers. Move closer (3-4 feet) during programming.
The remote works sometimes but not consistently.
Solutions:
Replace batteries immediately. Intermittent operation almost always indicates failing batteries, even if they test "good" on a battery tester.
Check for interference sources:
Fluorescent lights can disrupt IR signals
Other IR devices (fans, space heaters with remote) may cause interference
Direct sunlight on the TV's IR sensor can overwhelm signals
Inspect remote for physical damage. Dropped remotes can have loose internal connections. Liquid damage may cause intermittent button contacts.
Fire TV Edition models have unique challenges.
Solutions:
Disable and re-enable HDMI-CEC:
Settings → Display & Sounds → HDMI CEC Device Control
Turn off, wait 30 seconds, turn back on
Try Fire TV specific codes: 12049, 12184, 12417
Check if Fire TV sleep mode is interfering. Fire TV Edition can enter a low-power state that affects IR reception:
Settings → Device & Software → Sleep → Change to "Never" temporarily for testing
If you've exhausted all troubleshooting options:
DirecTV Support: 1-800-531-5000
Insignia/Best Buy Support: 1-888-237-8289
For broader TV issues beyond remote programming, the complete Insignia troubleshooting guide addresses power problems, display issues, and connectivity failures.
As a last resort, you may need to reset Insignia TV to factory defaults if the TV itself has become unresponsive.
LED Blink Pattern Reference:
Blinks | Meaning |
|---|---|
1 blink | Button acknowledged |
2 blinks | Code accepted / Command successful |
4 blinks | Code rejected / Error |
Slow blink | Low battery |
No blink | Dead battery or remote malfunction |
Once your remote is programmed, a few additional configurations improve daily use.
Before calling the job done, verify these functions work:
Power: TV turns on and off
Volume Up/Down: Adjusts in reasonable increments
Mute: Silences audio completely
Input: Switches between HDMI ports (may not work on all setups)
This feature ensures your volume buttons always control your Insignia TV, even when the mode switch is on DIRECTV:
Press and hold MUTE + SELECT until two blinks.
Enter 993.
Press VOL+.
Two blinks confirm success.
To enable the INPUT button (if it's not working after programming):
Press and hold MUTE + SELECT until two blinks.
Enter 960.
Press INPUT.
Two blinks confirm the button is now active.
DirecTV remotes perform best with fresh alkaline batteries. Avoid rechargeable batteries - they typically output 1.2V versus 1.5V for alkaline, and this voltage difference affects IR signal strength.
Replacement Schedule: Change batteries annually, or immediately when you notice:
Delayed response to button presses
Needing to point more directly at the TV
Slow blinking green light when pressing buttons
Write down the code that worked for your Insignia TV. Tape it inside the battery compartment or save it in your phone's notes. Remote resets happen, and you'll appreciate not having to search again.
The DirecTV app (available for iOS and Android) functions as a backup remote for your receiver. While it won't control your Insignia TV directly, it ensures you're never stuck unable to change channels.
If you use external audio equipment, you might want to connect soundbar to Insignia TV or connect external speakers to Insignia TV for enhanced sound quality.
What is the 5-digit DirecTV remote code for Insignia TV?
The most common working codes are 10171, 11423, 11564, 12002, and 12049. Start with 10171 as it works with approximately 80% of Insignia models. For Fire TV Edition specifically, try 12049 or 12184 first.
Can I control multiple Insignia TVs with one DirecTV remote?
A single DirecTV remote can only be programmed for one TV at a time. However, if multiple Insignia TVs use the same code, your remote will control whichever TV is in its direct line of sight. This can be problematic in open floor plans where both TVs are visible from one location.
Will my DirecTV remote work with an Insignia soundbar?
Yes, DirecTV remotes can control soundbars for volume. Use the AV1 or AV2 mode on your RC66, or program a separate audio device through your Genie's settings menu. Note that soundbar codes are different from TV codes. You can adjust the Insignia TV sound settings to route audio appropriately.
What if my Insignia TV isn't listed in the DirecTV database?
Try codes for Funai, Sansui, or Magnavox - these companies manufacture many Insignia TVs under license. If brand searches fail, use the automatic code search method (enter 991) to cycle through all available codes.
How often do I need to reprogram after changing batteries?
DirecTV remotes retain their programming even when batteries are removed. You typically only need to reprogram if:
The remote is factory reset (code 981)
Programming becomes corrupted (rare)
You switch to a different TV
Can I use the DirecTV remote for streaming apps on Insignia Fire TV?
The DirecTV remote controls basic TV functions (power, volume, input) but cannot navigate Fire TV apps. Use the included Fire TV remote or the Amazon Fire TV smartphone app for streaming control. You can also use Insignia TV without remote by using the TV's physical buttons for basic navigation.
Is there a universal code that works with all Insignia TVs?
No single code works with every Insignia television due to varying manufacturers. Code 10171 has the highest success rate across models, but you may need to test 3-5 codes to find one that works with your specific TV.
How do I know if my DirecTV remote has RF or IR capability?
RC73 Genie and RC66RX support both RF and IR
RC65 and basic RC66 are IR only
RF mode communicates with your DirecTV receiver without line-of-sight. TV control always uses IR regardless of which remote model you have.
Programming your DirecTV remote to control your Insignia TV eliminates the need for multiple remotes cluttering your coffee table. With codes 10171, 11423, 11564, 12002, or 12049 covering the vast majority of Insignia models, most users achieve success within the first few attempts.
For Fire TV Edition owners, codes 12049 and 12184 address the unique IR patterns these integrated smart TVs use. The HDMI-CEC settings provide additional control options when basic IR programming falls short.
Three programming methods give you flexibility: automatic code search works when you don't know which code applies, direct entry provides the fastest setup when you have a code ready, and on-screen menu programming offers guided assistance through your Genie receiver's interface.
When you program your DirecTV remote to Insignia TV, you'll control power, volume, and input switching from a single device. Should issues arise, the troubleshooting flowchart addresses everything from unresponsive codes to partial functionality. Keep this guide bookmarked - DirecTV remotes occasionally need reprogramming after software updates, and having your working code saved prevents frustrating searches.
The single-remote convenience transforms your entertainment experience from a multi-device juggling act into seamless, one-handed control.
