Unpairing a remote?

How do I 'unpair' a remote from my audio receiver?

I tried unpairing the remote altogether then repairing it, but control of the audio receiver comes right back.

It is nice at times to control everything from one remote, But Not at 6am! When all that you want to do is quietly watch the news.

Hi, @ZAK1. The DIRECTV remote is set up to control the audio receiver's volume and power by default. If you have a Gemini remote, here's how to stop it from controlling your audio receiver:

  1. Press the Home button on your remote.
  2. Navigate to Settings (gear icon) > System > Remote & Devices > Program Your Remote or look for Change Volume Control / Switch Volume Control.
  3. Set the volume control to TV
