I have an older GE Universal remote, Model GEu401. I cannot find any programming information anywhere on the web. Can anyone help me?

G.E. and RCA remotes are pretty much the same, so try hese instructions and codes,

thanks for the try Edmund, but unfortunately this remote is different. It does not have "code Search" button. It has a "setup" button. I have tried different ways and order of pressing buttons but cannot get any functions. I have tried to locate the GEu401 remote on Jasco website but the remote must be too old. I guess if i cannot get info on it soon, i will just buy a current universal remote.

Try this, it may work for some earlier GE remotes: Use the set up procedure for older One-for-All remotes that use 3-digit setup codes (see [Link: hifi-remote.com], and be sure to try both the URC2060 and URC4060 methods) but add 17 to the setup code you want to use. E.g. If the code list gives 054 as the setup code for Magnavox, then use 054+17 = 071.

No guarantees, but it may work.

this site will help you.

if you cannot find what your looking for let me know the what your programming and the brand i will get you the code.
turn on what you want the remote to control - hold down set up until light remains lit. - press the button of what you want to program. enter the code - press the on off button if it worked then your ready if not try the above again with the next code.
Good Luck

OK, just started, and have the codes. How do I post. Preferred to send as a jpeg

With the help of the posts here, I was able to program a GEU401 remote.
1) Press device key (TV, AUX, CAB or VCR)
2) Press and hold SET UP button (keep it pressed until you enter the code)
3) Enter 3 digit code (2 quick flashes of LED seems to mean a good code).
4) Release SET UP button.
The 3 digit codes can be found at:

(add 17 to the code numbers on the charts)
Thanks for the help, Jim

The manuals are located here.

1) Manually turn on your TV (VCR, etc.).

2) You need to hold the setup button until the light stays lit and release.

3) Quickly press and release the button of the component you would like to program (TV, VCR, etc.).

4) Press the On/Off button up to 300 times until the device turns off.

5) Press the enter key to store the code into the remote.

Do you add 17 before the 3 digit code or after the 3 digit code?

Actually, when you hold down the setup button, the remote flashes once then pauses for about three seconds then flashes twice. Do I hold down the setup button until the double flashes, then put in the code, or do I enter the code in between the flashes?

I recently, like yesterday recently got a GE RM24918 remote and it has new batteries in it and all the buttons work except the code search button which is the button I need to program my remote. I've done exactly what the booklet says but I never get past step one because i need the code search button. Please help! What should I do!

I am having a problem with the GE remote RM24918 as well. I have the right codes and i have even done the code search and all the codes are right but my tv is not responding. it won't turn off.

please help!

i had the same problem trying to get my ge remote linked to my sony tv. turns out, i was entering the wrong set of codes. i was entering codes for tv/dvd combo and i don't have that. i have a seperate dvd player. maybe that's your issue? hope i can help!

It's been 9 years since Plankton had his problem. He's probably already solved it or given up or his TV has been on for 9 years. If my TV stays on for even just one year, I'll get up and press the power button.
