Now choose a category button — it varies from remote to remote but can be TV, BLU-RAY, DVD, STRM, CBL, or AUX. Enter the code for your device.
Direct Code Entry
If your GE remote doesn’t have the codes you need, or the code that works with your device isn’t available, there are other ways to program it. These methods are more time-consuming, but they will work if you follow the steps exactly. The first step is to power on the device that you’re trying to control. Then, press and hold the “Setup” button on your GE universal remote. Continue to hold the button until a small LED light turns on. Now, you can begin entering the code. The GE universal remote has a built-in code database that has codes for most devices, including TVs. Just enter the code that is listed in your device’s manual or in a GE universal remote control code list. Once you have entered the code, the GE universal remote will turn on your device. Then, you can begin using your new remote.
Another method to program a GE universal remote without codes is brand code search and entry. This method uses the same process as auto-programming, but requires that you know the brand name of your device. You can find a list of brand names in the GE remote’s code booklet or on the GE website. Press and hold the device button on your GE remote, then enter the brand code with the number pad. Once the device button is pressed and the power button is released, the GE remote’s LED light will blink twice. This means that the code has been saved.
Whether you’re using the direct code entry or auto-search method, you’ll need to repeat these steps for each device that you want to control with your GE universal remote. Keep in mind that the GE universal remote can control up to four different devices, so you can eventually have one remote for your entire entertainment system.
Auto Code Search
The GE Universal Remote is a versatile device that can connect to a wide range of devices. This remote is a popular choice for many people because of its ease of use and price. However, it can be frustrating if you don’t have codes for your particular device. Fortunately, there are some methods that can help you program your remote without using code entries. The process is fairly simple and takes a little patience. If you follow the instructions closely, you’ll be able to get your remote up and running in no time.
First, you’ll need to make sure that your GE Remote Control is ready for programming. This will involve removing the packaging and installing two AAA batteries. Once this is done, you can begin the programming process.
If you want to program your GE Remote Control without codes, follow these steps: Turn on the device you wish to control. Press and hold the “Setup” button (usually located near the device buttons) until the indicator light turns on and remains lit. Then, press the device button that corresponds to the type of device you are programming – TV, VCR, DVD, or AUX.
Once the device button you pressed is activated, use the number buttons on the remote to enter the brand code for your device. Repeat this process for each device you wish to program. Once you’ve entered the appropriate code, the GE Universal Remote will be paired with your device and will operate properly. Be sure to test the remote’s functionality before removing the batteries. This way, you can ensure that the device is responding correctly and the remote is fully functioning. If you encounter any problems with the programming process, try again using a different code entry.
Troubleshooting
You may run into trouble if you are unable to get your GE universal remote to pair with the devices you have connected to it. This could be due to a number of reasons including battery drainage, incorrect code entry, or even accidental reset of the remote. However, the good news is that it is easy to fix these issues and get your GE remote to work again.
The first thing you need to do is reinsert the batteries into the remote. Once you have done this, you should press the “Setup” button on the remote. Hold the button down until a red indicator light turns on and remains on. Then, locate the device button that corresponds to the type of device you are trying to connect to (usually TV, DVD, CBL, or AUX) and press it down. The indicator light should flash once after this.
You should then wait for the device to power on. Once it does, you can release the “Setup” button and press the device button again to save the new code. Repeat this process for all of the devices that you want to connect with your GE universal remote.
After you have completed this, your GE remote should be able to control all of the devices that you have connected to it. If it does not, you should try reprogramming it again using the manual code entry method or the auto-code search method.
It should be noted that the automatic code search method can take a little longer than the manual code entry method, but this is not a reason to give up on the remote. In fact, this is a great way to solve the problem if you are having difficulty with the direct code entry method.
