Find the code by removing the batteries of your GE universal remote and looking inside the compartment. You will find the version and remote codes there.

You can also use this site or our lists below to search for the remote codes using the type of device and brand.

Next, you have to turn on the programming mode on the remote. For this, you need to press and hold the “setup” button until you see a red light.

After you see the red light, you have to select the button of the device you want to use the remote with. For instance, if you want to use the GE remote with a TV, then press the ‘TV' button. After the selection, the remote might blink once.

After the remote blinks, input the device code that we found in step 1. Once you enter the correct code, the remote will turn off.

To see if the programming was done correctly, point the remote at the device and try turning it on and using other buttons. If the device doesn't respond, try this procedure again with a different code.

The first step is to turn your desired device on (that is, the TV, the DVD, or other device).

Next, you have to put the GE Universal Remote in the programming mode. To do this, press and hold the ‘setup' button until you see a light.

When you see the light, select the device you want to set up by pressing the corresponding button. For instance, if you want to set up this remote with your TV, then press the ‘TV' button on the remote. The red light should blink once, indicating that the device has been selected.

Now, point the remote at your selected device and press the power button. For TVs, press the power button, and for DVDs, press the ‘play' button.

Now, you have to lock in the code quickly, so be prepared – find and place your finger on the #1 button. When the device (TV) turns off, or the DVD player start playing, press the #1 to lock the code.

Now, point the remote at the device, turn it on, and see if it works properly. If the remote is working fine, you don't need to program it more. However, if it is not working correctly, you will have to repeat the process from step 2.
