Your universal remote requires two (2) AAA
batteries (not included). Alkaline batteries are
recommend.

To Install the Batteries:

1. Remove the battery compartment cover by sliding
the cover down.

2. Match the (+) and (-) marks on the batteries to the
(+) and (-) marks inside the battery compartment,
then insert two (2) AAA Alkaline batteries. Be sure
to use fresh batteries.

3. Slide the battery compartment cover back
into place.

Note: If your remote stops operating properly, replace
the batteries with new ones. The remote will retain
the codes you have programmed for up to 10 minutes
after the batteries are removed.

Battery Precautions:

• Do not mix old and new batteries.

• Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc), or
rechargeable (Ni-Cd, Ni-MH, etc.) batteries.

• Always remove old, weak or worn-out batteries
promptly and recycle or dispose of them in
accordance with local and national regulations.

• Remove batteries if product is to be unused for an
extended period of time.

Battery Saver

Your remote automatically turns off if the buttons are
depressed more than 8 seconds. This will save your
batteries should your remote get stuck in a place
where the buttons remain depressed (e.g., between
the sofa cushions).

Code Saver

You will have up to 10 minutes to change the
batteries in your remote without losing codes you
have programmed. However, do not press any
buttons until batteries are installed in the remote. If
buttons are pressed without batteries in the remote,
all codes will be lost.

Programming Your Remote

Your GE universal remote control is designed to
control up to 3 different audio/video devices such
as TV, DVD, VCR, satellite and cable using only one
remote. To use this remote, you will need to program
it to control the devices of your choice. There are two
ways to program the remote - direct code entry or
auto code search.

Direct Code Entry (Recommended)

1. Locate the Code List provided with this

manual. Find the DEVICE CATEGORY
you wish to program (for example TV,
DVD, CBL) and then find the BRAND of
that device. Circle all the codes under
that brand. Example: For a GE TV,
locate the TV code section then circle
all of the GE TV codes.

2. Manually turn on the device you wish
to control.

3. Press and hold the SETUP button
until the red indicator light stays on
(approximately 2 seconds) and then
release the SETUP button.

4. Press and release the desired device
button on the remote (TV, DVD, CBL).
The red indicator will blink once and
then remain on.

5. Enter the first 4-digit code previously
found in the code list using the
number buttons on the remote. If the
code entered is a valid code, the red
indicator light will turn off. If the code
entered is not a valid code, the red
indicator light will flash and remain on
allowing you to re-enter the code.

Note: If no buttons are pressed for 35

seconds, the remote will exit the SETUP
mode and you will have to start over.

6. Point the remote at the device. Press
the POWER button—if the device turns
off and is fully functional, no further

7

Programming Your Remote

programming is required for that
device. If the device does not turn off,
or is not fully functional repeat steps
3-6 and use the next code found in
the code list. Continue this process
until a code for your device is found.

7. Repeat this process for each device

(for example TV, DVD, CBL) in your
home entertainment system you wish
to control.

Programming Notes

• If your device does not respond to the remote after
trying all codes listed or your brand is not listed in
the code list, use the Auto Code Search method to
program your remote.

• Sometimes the first code that “works” with your
device may operate only a few functions of your
device. There may be another code in the code list
that controls more functions. Try other codes from
the code list for more functionality.

• You can use any device button to control other
devices in your home entertainment system. For
example, you can use the CBL device button to
control an audio receiver or a DVD, VCR, satellite,
etc.

• For combination devices, you may have to enter a
code for each device. For example, for a VCR/DVD
device, you may have to enter a code for the DVD
under the DVD button and enter a code for the
VCR using a different device button on the remote.

• Write down the code found to operate your device
for future reference.

Programming Your Remote

Auto Code Search

The Auto Code Search, searches automatically through
all of the codes stored in this remote. Read all the
following steps prior to starting the auto code search
as you will need to be prepared to lock-in the proper
code when found.

1. Manually turn on the device you wish
to control.

2. Press and hold the SETUP button
until the red indicator light stays on
(approximately 2 seconds) and then
release the button.

3. Press and release the desired device
button on the remote (TV, DVD, CBL).
The red indicator will blink once and
then remain on.

4. Point the remote at the device and press
and release the POWER button (for TV)
or PLAY button (for DVD, VCR, etc.) to
start the search. The red indicator will
flash (approximately every 2 seconds) as
the remote searches. Note: The remote

must be pointed at the device for the
duration of this search.

5. Place your finger on the #1 button so
you are prepared to lock-in the code.

6. When the device shuts off or begins
playing, press the #1 button to lock-in
the code. The red indicator light will
turn off. Note: You have approximately

two seconds after the device shuts off or
begins playing to lock-in the code.

Programming Your Remote

7. Point the remote at the device and check to see
if the remote operates the device as desired. If it
does, no further programming is required for that
device. If it does not, return to step 2 and start the
auto search again.

8. Repeat this process for each device (for example
TV, DVD, CBL) in your home entertainment system
you wish to control.

Programming Notes

• This process may take several minutes as the
remote contains many codes.

• When using the Audio Code Search programming
method, the device you want to control must be
selected (for example, the TV device button must
be selected in step 3 if you want to control a TV,
the DVD device button for a DVD player, etc.)

• The SETUP button can be used during the search
process to reverse the direction of the search of
the remote codes. For example, if you miss the
code for your device and the remote is continuing
to search (as indicated by the blinking red light),
press the SETUP button and the code search will
reverse direction and return to the code.

• Sometimes the first code that “works” with your
device may operate only a few functions of your
device. There may be another code in the code list
that controls more functions. Continue the code
search as directed above until the best code is
found.

Master Volume Feature

Master Volume Feature

The Master Volume Feature allows you to select a
single device (TV, cable box or audio receiver) that
the volume control always controls. For example, the
remote can be in TV mode while the volume buttons
control the volume on your cable box instead
of your TV.

Enabling the Master Volume Feature

1. Press and hold the SETUP button

until the red indicator stays on
(approximately 2 seconds) and then
release the button.

2. Press and release desired device

button (TV, DVD, CBL) for the device
you wish to control the volume.

3. Press and release the

MUTE button.

4. Press and release the VOL + button.

The red indicator will blink twice and
then go off.

To test the feature put the remote in
another mode such as the TV mode if
you programmed the cable box to be the
Master Volume Device. Point the remote
at the cable box, press and hold either
the VOL + or the VOL - button. If the cable
box volume changes then the remote is
programmed correctly. If the TV volume
changes and not the cable box, you will
have to repeat the steps above and test
again.

Disabling the Master Volume Feature

1. Press and hold the SETUP button

until the red indicator stays on
(approximately 2 seconds) and then
release the button.

2. Press and release the device button

(TV, DVD, CBL) which is programmed
to control the Master Volume Feature.
