An Easy Guide to Setting Up Your GE Universal Remote:

Most homes nowadays have multiple devices, such as TVs, DVD players, streaming boxes, and more. Having separate remotes for each one can get confusing and frustrating. That’s why universal remotes are so handy—they allow you to control all your devices with just one remote. The GE Universal Remote is popular for TVs, cable boxes, DVD players, and many other electronics.

In this guide, we’ll walk through the simple steps to program your GE Universal Remote, covering how to do it with and without codes. Everything will be explained in an easy-to-understand way using short sentences and common words, just like you’d explain it to a 5th grader. Let’s get started!

Understanding Remote Codes:

Each device, like your TV or DVD player, has its unique code. This code is like a secret language that tells the remote how to “talk” to that device and give it commands. 

To program your GE remote, enter the correct code for your device model. Then, the remote will know how to control that device properly.

GE lists codes for different brands and models in the user manual or online. If you have these codes handy, programming is elementary. If not, don’t worry – there’s another way too.

Programming With Device Codes:

This is the fastest way if you know the codes for your devices. Just follow these simple steps:

  1. Turn on the device you want to control (like your TV or DVD player).
  2. Press and hold the “Setup” button on the remote until a red light turns on.
  3. Press the button for the type of device you want to program (TV, DVD, etc). 
  4. Use the number buttons to enter the code for your device’s brand and model.
  5. Point the remote at the device and press a button like Power to test if it works.

If it doesn’t work the first time, repeat the steps and try a different code from the list. Easy!

Programming Without Codes:

What if you don’t have the code list handy? No problem! Your GE remote can search for and find the correct code. It takes a bit more time, but here’s how:

  1. Turn on the device you want to control.  
  2. Press and hold “Setup” until the red light stays on.
  3. Press the button for that type of device (TV, DVD, etc). The light should blink once.
  4. Point the remote at the device and press the Power button repeatedly.
  5. Each time you press Power, it tries a different code to control the device. 
  6. When the device turns off, quickly press the “1” button to lock in that code.
  7. Test other buttons to make sure everything works properly.

If it doesn’t work initially, keep pressing Power and trying codes until your device turns off. Then lock it in! It may take some patience, but it gets the job done.
