The GE CL6 Universal Remote, often sold under various model numbers (such as 24927, 34459, 57818, or 69882) and manufactured by Jasco, is a popular and versatile device for consolidating control of multiple home entertainment components. The “CL6” designation refers to the specific code list version the remote uses. This comprehensive guide provides the essential 4-digit codes and step-by-step instructions for programming your GE CL6 remote using both the Direct Code Entry and Auto Code Search methods.
GE CL6 Universal Remote Codes
The following are some of the most common 4-digit codes for popular device brands. This list is complete list.
Find Your GE Remote Control Codes
1. Direct Code Entry (Recommended Method)
The most reliable way to program your remote is by entering the 4-digit code specific to your device’s brand and type.
1.Turn on the Device: Manually turn on the device you wish to control (e.g., TV, DVD player, Cable Box).
2.Enter Setup Mode: Press and hold the SETUP button on the remote until the red indicator light turns on and remains lit. Then, release the SETUP button.
3.Select Device Type: Press and release the specific device button you want to program (e.g., TV, DVD, CBL). The red light will blink once and then stay solid.
4.Enter the Code: Use the number keypad to enter the 4-digit code for your device’s brand (see sample codes below).
5.Confirm Code Entry: Once the fourth digit is entered, the red light should turn off. If the light blinks and stays on, the code was invalid, and you should try a different code for your brand.
6.Test the Remote: Point the remote at your device and test the functions (e.g., POWER, VOLUME, CHANNEL). If the device responds correctly, programming is complete. If not, repeat the steps using the next code listed for your brand.
2. Auto Code Search (Alternative Method)
If the Direct Code Entry method fails, or if you cannot find your device’s brand code, the Auto Code Search method can scan through all available codes until a match is found.
1.Turn on the Device: Manually turn on the device you wish to control.
2.Enter Setup Mode: Press and hold the SETUP button until the red indicator light turns on and remains lit. Then, release the SETUP button.
3.Select Device Type: Press and release the specific device button you want to program (e.g., TV, DVD, CBL). The red light will blink once and then stay solid.
4.Start Auto Search: Press and release the POWER button. The red light will begin to blink slowly, indicating the remote is now searching for the correct code.
5.Test for Power Off: Point the remote at your device and wait. The remote will transmit a new code every few seconds. When the device turns off, immediately press the SETUP button to lock in the code.
•Note: You must press SETUP immediately after the device turns off, or the remote will continue searching and pass the correct code.
6.Test the Remote: Point the remote at your device and test the functions (e.g., POWER to turn it back on, VOLUME, CHANNEL). If the device responds correctly, programming is complete. If not, repeat the steps, but press SETUP earlier or later in the sequence.
Troubleshooting Tips
Code Verification:
Always check the code list version (e.g., CL6) on your remote’s battery compartment against the codes you are using. Older or newer GE remotes may use different code lists (e.g., CL4, CL5).
Multiple Codes:
If the first code for your brand does not work, try all other codes listed for that brand. Many brands have several codes depending on the model and year of manufacture.
Code Search Backup:
If Direct Code Entry fails, use the Auto Code Search method. It is a slower but guaranteed way to find a working code if one exists in the remote’s memory.
Volume Lock:
If your TV is programmed but the volume buttons still control the AUX or another device, you may need to program a Volume Lock feature. Consult your remote’s full manual for instructions on how to lock the volume control to a specific device.
Device Button Check:
Ensure you are pressing the correct device button (TV, DVD, CBL, AUX) before starting the programming sequence. The red light will only accept a code for the selected device type.
