If you have a universal remote and you’re trying to figure out how to program it for your Insignia TV, then we have you covered right here.
Now, most universal remotes out there, like GE remotes or RCA remotes, are compatible with Insignia TVs, so compatibility shouldn’t be an issue. Further, you can do it with and without codes, which means you’d be able to set it up either way.
In this guide, we have outlined both ways to set up a universal remote – with and without codes. For convenience, we have also provided a list of some of the most common codes. With that, let’s dive into the details.
Quick Answer
You can connect your universal remote to Insignia TV with or without the codes.
If you have the code, you have to power on your TV > press the “device” (that is TV) button > press and hold the “setup” button > enter the code > test the remote.
If you don’t have the right code, you can use the auto-code search method – we have a guide on this below. You can also refer to the codes list in our guide.
