How to program a GE Universal remote with or without Codes

General Electric universal remote controls can control lots of stuff, like your TV, cable box, and DVD player. But first, you would need to program it to work with each of your devices.

If you want quick and easy instructions on how to program your GE universal remote control, you’re in the right place. In this post, we’ll show you step-by-step how to program your remote with or without codes. And the best part? You don’t have to be a computer whiz to set it up!

How do I Program my GE universal Remote Control?

There are two ways to program a GE universal remote control.

You can program a GE universal remote control without codes using the Auto Code Search feature: This is the best choice if you don’t know or can’t locate the codes for your TV or the gadget you want to program the remote with.
You can also program a GE universal remote control with codes using the Direct Code Entry method. This is the best option if you know the codes for your TV or the gadget you want to program the remote with.

How to Program a General Electric Universal Remote without Codes

For those who don’t know the codes of the device they want to program a GE universal remote control with, the “Auto Code Search” method is practical. The step-by-step instructions for programming your remote without knowing its codes are provided below.

Programming a GE Universal Remote without codes using the Auto Code Search feature

Step 1: Manually switch on the device you wish to control and turn off any other devices placed near it.
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 a TV, Press and release the TV button. The GE universal remote can control six types of devices: TV, CBL, Blue Ray, Aux, Aud, and Strm. If you wish to do Auto Code Search for another device, press and release the appropriate 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 TV turning off, simply repeat the process again 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 which you pressed in “Step 4” above. In this example, we will press the TV button since we are programming the remote control with a TV.
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.

If the Auto Code Search method (without codes) doesn’t work to program your GE universal remote control, you can try the Direct Code Entry method, which is described below.

How to Program GE Universal Remote with Codes

Your GE universal remote control contains thousands of device codes for the latest audio and video equipment. So you would need to locate the code listed for your specific device that came with your remote control. We’ve listed GE universal remote control codes for various TV makes and models below in this post.

Programming a GE Universal Remote with codes using Direct Code Entry

The “Direct Code Entry” technique is useful for those who are familiar with the device’s codes and want to program a GE universal remote control with it. If you know your remote’s codes, the detailed instructions for programming it are provided below.

Step 1: Find the code list (CL3, CL4, CL5 or CL6) for the specific device that you want to program your universal remote control with.
Step 2: Manually switch on the device you wish to control and turn off any other devices placed near it.
Step 3: Press and hold down the “Setup Button” until the red light on the remote control turns on and remains on.
Step 4: Once the red LED is on, release the “Setup Button”.
Step 5: Press and release the device button you wish to control. For example, if you want to program your GE universal remote with a TV, then press the TV button.
Step 6: After pressing the device button, the red light on the remote will blink once and remain on.
Step 7: Next, use the number buttons on the remote to enter the first four digit remote control codes for your device.
Step 8: Test the device to see if the GE remote is fully functional and that the device responds properly.
Step 9: If the remote’s buttons don’t operate the device, return to “Step 3” above and try again using the next code for that device.
