How do I reset a RC 73 genie remote back to factory settings
I bought a 55 in ROKU TV and my direct genie remote would not operate it.
I tried to use their instructions and I have lost the operation of my remote entirely, by messing with the codes etc.
The remote has good batteries and the light flash when I try to do something.
I have another RC 73 Genie Remote from another room and it will operate some of the features, but not all, just like the one I started messing with did

-Press and hold mute and select until the light blinks.
-After releasing mute and select, type the numbers "9, 8, 1" in that order.
-You should see the light blink again on the remote after typing the above 3 numbers.
-Your remote should now be factory reset.

@Timcintay ours won't do the opposite. We have no volume control but can change channels. We've done everything and nothing works. :-(

No volume usually means the the remote is not programed for the TV/soundbar/A/V receiver.
