DirecTV Remote Codes for Vizio TV

DirecTV Remote Codes for Vizio TV & Programming Guide

Does your Vizio TV work with the DirecTV receiver? In that case, there is no need to worry if your Vizio TV remote gets damaged. It may be possible to simply pair the receiver remote to your TV if your Vizio TV remote cannot be fixed after being reset.

It is my intention in this post to explain exactly how to program a DirecTV remote control to a Vizio TV using a four-digit code. In addition to its universal nature, the DirecTV Genie remote can also be programmed to control the volume, power button, mute, menu, and other functions of your smart TV.

It is important to keep in mind that the DirecTV remote control is also equipped with a code library for devices, and the codes to be used are determined according to the model number of the remote control and the brand of the device.

Identify your remote by its model number

DirecTV remote controls have model numbers that you should know. You can find this at the top right corner of the page. RC is usually the first letter of the number. The battery compartment shows the model number when you are not using the Genie version remotes.

As a general rule, the following models are available:

  • RC-23
  • RC-24
  • RC-32/32RF
  • RC-64
  • RC-65
  • RC-66
  • RC -71
  • RC-72
  • RC-73

Using a DirecTV remote control with a Vizio TV

To operate your Vizio TV and remote control, you should know their device codes. 11758 or 11756 is the device code you should use when programming the remote. The importance of this cannot be overstated. You will not be able to pair the remote if you do not use the correct code.

All Vizio smart TVs can be programmed with the given codes. From this official Vizio TV website, you can obtain the code associated with a specific model number.

What is the procedure for programming a DirecTV remote to a Vizio TV?

  • You need to turn on the TV
  • Changing the remote’s mode to TV is as easy as sliding the top button
  • While holding the MUTE and SELECT buttons at the same time, the GREEN light on the remote should flash twice.

Genie DirecTV remote programming for Vizio TV onscreen

Using the onscreen prompts, you can pair the same Genie remote with your TV if you already use it with your receiver. It is necessary that the remote be already paired with the DVR box in order to accomplish this.

Follow these steps to get started

  • The connected TV and the DVR box should be turned on
  • Navigate to the SETTINGS part of the remote with the ARROW keys
  • The right arrow key should be pressed after selecting the settings
  • Once there, select “Remote Control” and then select “OK”.
  • You can then pair or program the remote by selecting “Pair/Program Remote”
  • You will see an input box after selecting the Change TV tab
  • You can enter VIZIO as the TV brand using the pop-up boxes on the screen
  • On the other box, choose the model number
  • Remote and TV will be paired automatically after the code is set
  • That’s all there is to it.

Both the DVR box and TV are now controlled with the remote.

On the top of the remote, slide the TV mode button to use it with the TV. The remote will appear under the category of controlling the television when you do so. You will then be able to change channels, adjust the volume, etc.

The remote can be found under the DVR box if you slide to the left. Using the same remote control, both devices can be controlled easily.

Programming for Samsung TVs, LG TVs, Sony TVs, etc.

Other smart TVs such as Samsung TVs, LG TVs, Sony TVs, Element TVs, etc, can be programmed using the same methods, but with different device codes. Even without a code, DirecTV remotes can be synced to TVs. The settings should be used to follow the on-screen prompts. It is necessary to connect the receiver to the TV first.

If you do not have a Vizio TV at home, you may have another television. I have included some of the most popular TV brand codes here.
