What are GE universal remote codes for Apple TV?

GE universal remote codes for Apple TV are a set of numerical values assigned to specific functions or commands of an Apple TV device. 

These codes are programmed into a GE universal remote control to enable it to communicate with and control an Apple TV.

When you enter the correct GE universal remote code for Apple TV, it allows you to use the remote to perform various functions such as navigating menus, adjusting volume, selecting different inputs, and controlling playback on your Apple TV. 

The codes essentially act as a language between the remote control and the Apple TV, facilitating the transmission of commands.

By entering the correct code, the remote control is configured to send the corresponding command to the Apple TV, enabling you to control it conveniently from a single device.

It’s important to note that the specific GE universal remote codes for Apple TV may vary depending on the model of the remote control and the version of Apple TV you are using.

How to Program a General Electric Universal Remote with Apple TV Without Codes

For those who don’t know the universal remote codes of their Apple TV or who can’t find the right code, the “Auto Code Search” method is practical. 

Below are the step-by-step instructions for programming your GE universal remote without knowing its codes.

Programming a GE Universal Remote to Apple TV without codes using the Auto Code Search method

  • Step 2: Press and hold the “Setup Button” until the red indicator light turns on.
  • Step 3: Once the red indicator light turns on, release the “Setup Button.”
  • Step 4: To program the Apple TV, press and release the STRM (streaming media player) button.
  • Step 5: After pressing the button for the device you wish to control, the red light on the remote will blink once and remain on.
  • Step 6: Point your remote at the device, then press and release the power button to start the code search.
  • Step 7: The red indicator light will start flashing while it searches.
  • Step 8: If a compatible code is found, your device will turn off, and the red indicator light on the GE remote control will stop flashing and remain on.
  • Step 9: If the red LED indicator stops flashing without your Apple TV turning off, simply repeat the process from “Step 4” above.
  • Step 10: Once your device turns off, manually turn it back on.
  • Step 11: Point your General Electric universal remote at the device again and press and release the Volume Up Button.
  • Step 12: After pressing the “Volume Up Button,” the red indicator light will blink once and remain on.
  • Step 13: At this stage, if a compatible code is found, your device should turn off again.
  • Step 14: If the device doesn’t turn off after pressing the “Volume Up Button,” simply continue to press and release the volume up button.
  • Step 15: Once your device turns off, that means your remote now has the compatible code.
  • Step 16: To store this code in your remote, simply press the same device button that you pressed in “Step 4” above. In this example, we will press the STRM button since we are programming the remote control with the Apple TV (streaming media player).
  • Step 17: Now turn on your device using the GE remote and test all its buttons to make sure your remote is fully functional with this device.
  • Step 18: If the GE remote is not fully functional with your device, simply return to “Step 2” to repeat the process and find a better code.
