What remote control model number?

What DVR/Receiver model number?

You should be able to follow the Remote Setup instructions under the DVR/Receiver's Setup Menu.

easy way is to reset your Remote :

On the remote, Press and hold MUTE and  SELECT at the same time until the light flashes three times. Then press Press 9 8 1 and SELECT. The remote will flash four times and should now be reset.

Then point your remote at the receiver and press the vol switch and it will start the onscreen instructions.

@goldw1800 's instructions will work for the RC7x remotes, not the RC6x remotes.

These will work for rc6x:

On the remote, Press and hold MUTE and  SELECT at the same time until the light flashes three times. Then press Press 9 8 1 and SELECT. The remote will flash four times and should now be reset.

And if you need a picture:
