• Search for the “Brand Code” in the remote manual, or navigate the below brand code list.
• Squeeze the device button on the remote to program that device. For example, hold the ‘TV’ button if you’re programming your TV. Press and hold that button if a light switches on and remains lit.
• Press and hold the “Power” button. It will turn on the indicator light. Now, release the “Power” button and the device button. If you have done it correctly, the light remains turned on.
• Type the code for the brand. It may be a 3 or 4-digit code. But the light must still be on.
• Squeeze the “Power” button frequently and wait until the device turns off. If your entered code is right, then your device turns off when you press Power.
• After you release “Power,” save the code while squeezing the “Stop” button.

Auto Code Search Method

Newer GE universal remotes make your life much easier. If you don’t like to insert code, don’t worry at all! We came up with the Auto Code search method that saves you time while coding per device.

• Squeeze and hold the Setup button. It turns on the red light. However, on some remotes, you will have a code search button instead.
• Press and release the device button. If you’re accessing the remote to program AUX, squeeze AUX and the button you assigned for AUX.
