GE Universal Remote CL4 Codes List & Programming Guide

This guide provides the complete code list and programming instructions for General Electric (GE) universal remotes that use the CL4 (Code List 4).

GE Universal Remote CL4 Code Lists

To find out which code list your remote uses, remove the battery cover. You should see a small white sticker inside the compartment labeled “CL4” or “Code List 4.” If you see this, you are on the right page.

We will walk you through the three best methods to program your remote for your TV, Cable/Satellite box, DVD/Blu-ray player, soundbar, and other devices.

How to Program Your GE CL4 Remote (3 Methods)

Before you begin, make sure your device (e.g., your TV) is turned on.

Method 1: Direct Code Entry (Recommended)

This is the fastest method. Use the code lists in the next section.

1. On your GE remote, press and hold the SETUP button until the red indicator light turns on and stays on.
2. Press the device button you want to program (e.g., TV, CBL/SAT, DVD/BLU-RAY). The red light will blink once and then stay on.
3. Find your 4-digit code in the lists below. Use the number pad to enter the first code for your brand.
4. If the code is correct, the red indicator light will turn off.
5. Point the remote at your device and press the POWER button. If the device turns off, your remote is programmed.
6. If the device does not turn off, repeat steps 1-5 with the next code for your brand.

Method 2: Auto Code Search (Easy)

Use this method if you can’t find your code or if none of the codes for your brand work. This method scans all codes automatically.

1. Manually turn on your device.
2. Press and hold the SETUP button until the red light stays on.
3. Press the DEVICE button (e.g., TV) you want to program. The light will blink once and stay on.
4. Point the remote at your device. Press and release the POWER button.
5. The remote will now start sending codes, blinking as it works. This may take several minutes.
6. As soon as your device turns off, you must immediately press the SETUP button to lock in the code.
7. If you miss it, you may have to start over.

Method 3: Manual Code Search (Advanced)

This method is similar to the Auto-Search, but you manually check each code one by one.

1. Manually turn on your device.
2. Press and hold the SETUP button until the red light stays on.
3. Press the DEVICE button (e.g., TV). The light will blink once and stay on.
4. Point the remote at your device. Press and release the POWER button repeatedly.
5. The remote sends a new code each time you press POWER. Go slowly.
6. When your device finally turns off, stop pressing POWER.
7. Press the ENTER button (it may be labeled OK on some remotes) to save the code.
