How can you program a GE Universal Remote with a DVD/Blu-ray player using codes?

By now, you should have located the list of compatible codes (CL3, CL4, CL5, or CL6) that I put together earlier, which you can use to pair your GE remote control with your Blu-Ray player, VCR, or Sony DVD player. So below, I’ll explain the simple, step by step programming process. It is called programming by direct code entry.

  • Manually turn on your Sony DVD, Blu-Ray or VCR player
  • While pointing it at the device, press and hold the “Setup button” on the remote until its LED light turns on.
  • Next, press and release the appropriate button for the specific type of device that you are trying to program (i.e., the DVD, Blu-Ray or VCR button).
  • Enter the first code for your device using the number keys.
  • The LED light will turn off if the code is correct.
  • Finally, point the remote at your device and test all its buttons to see if they work as expected.
  • If it is not working properly, repeat steps one to four above using another code from the code list I provided above.

Note that the process I have explained above is summarized. If you are new to programming GE universal remotes, I have written a more detailed step by step guide, which you can find in the blog post at this link

If the direct code entry programming process doesn’t work for you, I have also explained a detailed step by step guide on how to program your GE universal remote with your Sony DVD, Blu-Ray or VCR player without codes in the same blog post.
