Problem programming my RC73 with my Vizio TV

When I select Menu==> Remote Control==> Pair/Program Remote==>Program TV

I am prompted for TV  Brand. I spell out VIZIO, it prompts for Model Number. My Model Number, D24f-F1, is not an option.

I select "I don't know my model"

It displays, "Adding VIZIO Television Attempting Code 1 of 10

It then says: Code successfully received!

To test this code, press VOL+

If volume increases: Select "It Worked"

If volume does not increase: Select "Try Next Code"

The volume control works. It does change the TV volume both + and -.

I select "It Worked"

However after I do this it doesn't work anymore. The volume control will not control the TV volume and the mute button doesn't work either.  I tried this on all 10 codes. 3 or 4 of the codes yield the same result.

 

Is the remote defective?

Sorry to read you are having trouble with the remote.

Try pushing Mute and select at the same time till the light blinks twice at the top and press 981 . You should either see a red light or 4 green blinks. Then point the remote at the receiver and press mute and enter (under the number 9) at the same time for 5 seconds. You should see "Your remote is not setup for rf". Then try again to program to the tv. I hope this helps
