How to Program a GE 24927 (CL6) Remote: Full Code List & Setup

So you have the GE 24927 remote. This is a powerful remote designed to control up to eight different devices, but programming it can be tricky. This guide will walk you through every step, using the two specific methods designed for this remote.

GE 24927 (CL6) Complete Code Library

Good news first: If you have a Samsung TV, this remote comes pre-programmed to work with it. Try pressing the TV button and see if it controls your Samsung TV right out of the box. For all other devices, you have two paths: Direct Code Entry (Using CL6 codes) or the Auto Code Search.

Method 1: Direct Code Entry (The Quickest Method)

This is the recommended method. You find your device’s code in the list and enter it manually.

1. Prep: Find the device you want to control (e.g., “TV”, “DVD”) in the code lists below. Locate your brand and circle all the 4-digit codes for it.
2. Activate: Press and hold the SETUP button until the remote’s red indicator light turns on and stays on.
3. Select: Press and release the device button you want to program (e.g., TV, CBL/SAT, DVD, AUX1). The red light will blink once and then stay on.
4. Enter: Type in the first 4-digit code you circled using the number pad.
5. Confirm: The red light will turn off if the code was entered correctly.
6. Test: Point the remote at your device and press the POWER button. If the device turns off, you’ve found the right code. If it doesn’t, repeat these steps with the next code on your list.

Method 2: The Auto Code Search (The “Hunter” Method)

This remote’s Auto Code Search is unique. Instead of you pressing a button hundreds of times, this remote searches in batches of 10 codes at a time. This method is best if your brand isn’t listed or if the direct codes didn’t work.

Phase 1: Finding the Right Batch

1. Manually turn on the device you want to control.
2. Press and hold the SETUP button until the red indicator light stays on.
3. Press and release the device button you’re programming (e.g., TV). The light will blink once and stay on.
4. Point the remote at your device and press and release the POWER button. The remote will quickly send 10 different codes. The red light will blink for each code and then stay solid.
5. Did your device turn off?
   • NO: Press the POWER button again. The remote will send the next batch of 10 codes. Keep doing this until your device turns off.
   • YES: Your device turned off! The correct code is in the batch you just sent. Move to Phase 2. 

Phase 2: Pinpointing the Code

1. Manually turn your device back on.
2. Point the remote at the device. Press and release the VOL UP button. The remote will send the first code from that 10-code batch. The red light will blink once and stay on.
3. Did your device turn off?
   • YES: You found it! Press the same DEVICE button (e.g., TV) to lock in the code. You are done.
   • NO: Press VOL UP again. The remote will send the second code from the batch. Keep pressing VOL UPslowly until your device turns off. Once it does, press the DEVICE button to lock in the code.
