GE universal remotes require four digit codes to pair with specific TVs and soundbars. The master data table lists verified codes for common brands and series.
Owners locate their device brand then test each code in sequence until the device responds to power and volume commands. Additional sections cover analysis of success rates and logistics for programming multiple devices at once.
GE Codes for TVs and Soundbars
GE universal remote codes function through direct entry during setup mode on the remote itself. Users first power on the target device and hold the code search button until the indicator light stays lit. The table below aggregates codes drawn from official GE documentation and user verified lists for major television and soundbar families. Each code set covers multiple series within the brand to reduce trial time during programming. Test codes one at a time and note which entry produces full control over volume and input selection.
| Brand | Device Type | Codes |
|---|---|---|
| Samsung | TV | 0105 0030 0942 0049 0051 0065 |
| LG | TV | 0015 0021 0056 0081 0134 0156 |
| Sony | TV | 0000 0111 0128 0132 0180 0193 |
| Vizio | TV | 0081 0111 0135 0178 0205 0246 |
| Samsung | Soundbar | 0214 0263 0291 0313 0351 0371 |
| Sony | Soundbar | 0165 0175 0193 0214 0245 0263 |
GE Remote Code Compatibility by Device Age
Compatibility rates vary by device age and firmware revision across television and soundbar lines. Newer smart models often accept the first or second code in each brand list while older sets require later entries from the same group. Success improves when the remote battery level stays above 50 percent during entry. Cross reference the device manual for any noted exceptions before starting the process. Data shows Samsung and LG families produce the highest first try success when users follow the exact sequence listed.
GE Remote Code Entry Preparation Steps
Prepare the remote by removing batteries for ten seconds to clear prior memory. Reinsert fresh batteries and point the remote directly at the device from three feet away. Press and hold the setup button until the light remains steady then enter the four digit code without pause. The light should turn off once the code registers correctly. Repeat the full sequence for each additional device such as a soundbar paired with the same television.
GE Codes for Samsung TV Series
Samsung televisions accept the codes shown in the master table for both standard and smart series. Begin with the first code and cycle through the list if the initial entry fails to control power. Many users report that 0105 works on recent QLED models while 0030 suits older LCD units. Confirm the television responds to mute and channel commands after each attempt. Store the successful code in the remote memory by pressing the setup button twice at the end of the session.
GE Codes for Sony Soundbar Models
Sony soundbars pair reliably with the codes grouped under that brand in the master table. Enter codes during the soundbar power on cycle to ensure the remote learns the infrared commands. Later entries such as 0193 often succeed on newer models equipped with HDMI ARC. Verify volume ramp up and input switching after programming completes. Keep the remote aimed at the soundbar sensor throughout the entry process to avoid signal drop.
GE Remote Function Tests After Coding
Point the programmed remote at the television and press power to confirm on off control. Follow with volume up and down tests on both the television and connected soundbar. Switch inputs to verify full command set operation across devices. If any function fails return to the master table and try the next code in the brand list. Repeat testing after each new code entry until all primary controls respond without delay.
