GE Universal Remote Codes for Sanyo TVs

Has your original Sanyo TV remote vanished into thin air, or are you simply aiming to consolidate your collection of remotes into one? You’re in the right place. Programming a GE universal remote is a simple fix that can restore order to your entertainment center.

This guide provides a complete list of GE universal remote codes for your Sanyo TV and walks you through the easy setup process. Let’s get you clicking again.

Pre-Programming Checklist: Do This First!

To ensure the process is as smooth as possible, take 30 seconds to check the following. This quick check can save you a potential headache.

• Fresh Batteries: Start with a fresh pair of batteries. Low power is the most common reason for programming failures.
• TV is On: Manually turn on your Sanyo TV. You need it on to confirm when the connection is successful.
• Clear Line of Sight: Sit in front of your TV with a direct, unobstructed view of its infrared (IR) sensor (usually a small, dark plastic panel on the bottom frame).

The Master List: GE Universal Remote Codes for Sanyo TVs

Most GE remotes use either 4-digit or 5-digit codes. We’ve compiled an extensive list of codes known to work with Sanyo televisions. You may need to try a few to find the perfect match for your specific model.

We recommend starting with the first code on the list and working your way down.

Code Type	Sanyo TV Codes for GE Remotes
4-Digit	0001, 0038, 0093, 0154, 0236, 0498, 1142, 1269, 1354, 2361
5-Digit	10154, 11142, 11269, 11354, 12361, 12434, 12834, 14554

Pro-Tip: Once you find the working code, write it on a piece of masking tape inside the remote’s battery compartment so you never have to search for it again.

How to Program Your GE Remote: Step-by-Step Instructions

There are two foolproof methods for syncing your remote: inputting the code directly or using the remote’s built-in search function.

Method 1: Direct Code Entry (The Fastest Way)

This method is quick and usually gets the job done in under a minute.

1. Power On: Make sure your Sanyo TV is turned on.
2. Enter Setup Mode: Press and hold the SETUP button on your GE remote until the red indicator light turns on and stays lit. Then release the button.
3. Select the TV Device: Press the TV button on the remote. The red light will flash once, then remain on.
4. Enter the Code: Use the number pad to enter the first 4-digit (or 5-digit) code from our list. If the code is accepted, the red light will turn off.
5. Test the Functions: Point the remote at the TV and press POWER. If the TV turns off, you’ve likely found a match. Turn it back on and test the VOLUME, MUTE, and CHANNEL buttons.
6. Confirm or Repeat: If everything works, you’re done! If only some functions work or it doesn’t work at all, simply repeat steps 2-5 with the next code in the list.

If you’ve gone through the entire list without success, the remote can find the code for you. This involves using its automatic search function, a process that is essential when programming a universal remote without the codes.

Method 2: Auto Code Search (The “Catch-All” Method)

This method lets the remote scan its entire library of codes and is a powerful alternative when direct entry fails.

1. Power On: Make sure your Sanyo TV is on.
2. Enter Search Mode: Press and hold SETUP until the red indicator light stays on. Release it.
3. Select Device: Press the TV button. The light will blink once and stay lit.
4. Start the Scan: Press and release the POWER button. The remote will now start sending codes one by one, and the indicator light will flash to show it’s working.
5. Watch the TV Closely! The moment your Sanyo TV shuts off, you must IMMEDIATELY press the SETUP button to lock in the correct code. If you wait too long, the remote will move to the next code, and you’ll miss it.
6. Confirm and Test: Use the remote to turn the TV back on. Test all the critical functions (Volume, Menu, Input) to ensure you have full control.

If both the direct entry and auto-search methods fail, the issue might be something other than programming, such as a blocked IR sensor or a deeper hardware problem. In these cases, it’s helpful to run through a broader set of diagnostics for a Sanyo TV remote that’s not working.
