DirecTV RC66RX remote controls TCL 55 inch Tv Volume, but NOT TCL 75 inch Tv Volume ??

I own a TCL 55 inch TV  and my DirecTV RC66RX remote controls the Volume &  Input Select

I just got the TCL 75S421 and my other my DirecTV RC66RX remote control will NOT control the Volume & Input Select. It does control some functions.

 

IF i take the remote used on my 75 inch and take it upstairs to my 55 inch TV, the volume DOES adjust !!

If I take the remote from my 55 inch downstairs to my 75 inch tv, the volume does NOT adjust.

 

what's going on ?

 

Thanks

The white directv remotes add an extra signal to every command, it may make the IR unrecognizable to the 75". Where the 55" isn't as sensitive to signals it accepts. Try the following steps:

 

1. tv

2. press and hold MUTE & SELECT for two blinks, release

3. enter 1 2 0 4 9

 

To enable the input key:

 

1. tv

2. press and hold MUTE & SELECT for two blinks, release

3. enter 9 6 0

 

To disable the extra signal:

 

1. tv

2. press and hold MUTE & SELECT for two blinks, release

3. enter 9 6 3

4. press CH down

It WORKED !!

THE THING THAT I NEEDED TO DO WAS RESET THE REMOTE BACK TO RF MODE.

 

After that, I did the first two steps you suggested and it worked fine!!

If you want to set the DirecTV device to IR from RF mode simply program code 00001 to the DirecTV device. 

 

1. Press and hold MUTE & SELECT for two blinks and release

2. Enter 0 0 0 0 1
