Programming your GE Universal Remote is straightforward. You can use two main methods: Direct Code Entry or Auto Code Search. Here's how to program your GE Universal Remote:
Direct Code Entry:
- Find the Code List that came with your remote. Locate the device type (TV, cable box, etc.) and your device's brand.
- Press and hold the SETUP button on the remote until the red light illuminates. Then, release the SETUP button. The red light should stay on.
- Press and release the device button (TV, cable, etc.) you want to control. The red light will blink once and stay on.
- Enter the first 4-digit code from the Code List using the number buttons on the remote. The red light will turn off after you enter the fourth digit.
- Point the remote at your device and test the buttons. If the buttons don't work, repeat steps 2-4 using the next code for your device.
- Repeat these steps for each device you wish to program.
Auto Code Search:
- Turn on the device you want to control manually.
- Press and hold the SETUP button on the remote until the red light comes on. Release the button.
- Press and release the device button (TV, cable, etc.) you want to program. The red light will blink once and remain on.
- Point the remote at the device and press and release the POWER button. The remote will send multiple codes, and the red light will blink with each code sent and stay on after the codes are sent.
- Turn the device off and then back on manually.
- Point the remote at the device and press the VOL+ button. The remote will send the first code again. The red light will blink and stay on.
- Test the remote. If the buttons don't work as expected, repeat steps 2-6 to find a better code.
- Repeat these steps for each device you want to program.
