How to Program a GE Universal Remote with Codes
Programming a GE universal remote can be a straightforward process, allowing you to control multiple devices with a single remote. Whether you’re setting up your new remote to manage your television, cable box, or other electronics, the following steps will guide you through the process of programming your GE universal remote with codes.
1. Locate the Universal Remote Codes
Before you begin programming your remote, you’ll need to find the specific codes for the devices you wish to control. These codes can typically be found in the user manual of your remote or on the manufacturer’s website. If you’re unable to locate the codes, you can also search for them online using the make and model of your device.
2. Prepare Your Device
Ensure that the device you want to control is turned on and ready to receive commands. This may involve turning on your television, cable box, or other electronics that you plan to control with the GE universal remote.
3. Access the Programming Menu
Press and hold the “Setup” button on the remote until the indicator light blinks twice. This will put the remote into programming mode.
4. Enter the Device Code
Using the number buttons on the remote, enter the device code for the device you wish to control. The indicator light will blink once when the correct code is entered.
5. Select the Device Type
Press the “Device” button on the remote. The indicator light will blink twice to confirm. Then, press the “Device” button again and use the number buttons to select the device type (e.g., TV, Cable, VCR, etc.).
6. Set the Component
Press the “Component” button on the remote. The indicator light will blink twice to confirm. Use the number buttons to select the component you want to control (e.g., TV, Tuner, Aux, etc.).
7. Test the Remote
Press a button on the remote, such as “Power,” to test if the device responds. If the device turns on or off, the programming is successful. If not, repeat the process with a different code until you find the correct one.
8. Save the Settings
Once you have successfully programmed the remote, press the “Setup” button to exit programming mode. The indicator light will blink twice to confirm that the settings have been saved.
9. Repeat for Other Devices
If you need to program additional devices, repeat steps 3 through 8 for each device, using the appropriate codes and device types.
By following these steps, you can easily program your GE universal remote with codes to control your favorite electronics. Enjoy the convenience of a single remote for all your devices!
