How to use the TV remote control code
Universal remote controls, depending on their type and manufacturer, have their own programming procedure, a description of which in various modifications can be found on various resources.
In particular, such a procedure might look like this:
- Insert the batteries into the universal remote control (make sure you do not have the wrong polarity);
- Turn on your TV using the old remote control or the power button on the TV itself;
- Press the “SETUP” button on the remote control and hold this button pressed until the red indicator lights up;
- Press the button. The remote control is now in setup mode;
- Quickly press and release the TV button;
- Enter the code to connect the remote control to the TV using the number keys on the remote control;
- The red indicator on the remote control will go out, indicating that the setup is complete;
- Check the result. Point the remote control at the TV and try turning the device on and off. If the TV turns off and turns on, then everything is working. If not, use the following 3 (4) digit code taken from the sources we described above.
An alternative connection procedure is as follows:
- Turn on your TV and insert batteries into the universal remote control;
- Enter the remote control into programming mode. To do this, press the “Power” and “SET” buttons;
- Then press the “TV” button and hold it for several seconds until the red indicator lights up;
- Next, dial the digital code you found earlier;
- The indicator will go off, indicating that programming of the device is complete.
Since the programming procedure for each type of remote control may differ, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the programming procedure for a specific remote control on the resource www.directutor.com/content/universal-remote-codes.

Read the instructions for your TV and remote control
When searching for the code for the remote control, we recommend that you first study the instructions for your TV. Some manuals are quite detailed, and you can find out there the code for connecting the universal remote control to the TV.
Separately, type in the search engines the model number of your TV remote control, which can be found under the cover of its battery compartment.
The code you are looking for may be hidden under the remote control cover.
You can find and download the user manual, in which you will find the codes to pair the remote control with your TV. But if your TV receiver was manufactured after the remote control was manufactured (this also happens), then the manual may not contain a working remote control code. In this case, we recommend using network services for searching the code, available online.
Network services with TV remote control code
There are several online services that allow you to find the desired remote control code for your TV online. Usually the search in them is carried out by the brand of the TV, and in the case of popular and widespread brands (Samsung, Philips, LG and others), you can immediately find a dozen codes for the remote control. In this case, it will be necessary to try them all until you find one that works.
For example, a set of such codes might look like this:
Among such sites, we especially highlight codesforuniversalremotes.com. This is a specialized international web resource specifically dedicated to TV remote control codes.

What do you need to know about the remote control code?
As you know, TV remote controls use a communication method called pulse code modulation. Each command that follows from your remote control to the TV receiver is assigned a 3-bit (usually) sequence. For example, to turn on the TV, use the sequence 000
, to increase the volume –
011
and so on. Using such commands, you control the TV using the remote control.
When an old remote control breaks down, the TV owner usually buys a universal remote control to replace the old one, which must be configured for the desired TV model. For such pairing, special codes are used, ranging from 2 to 5 digits (most often 3 digits). After sending such a code from the remote control to the TV, the latter will recognize the remote control as its own, and you will be able to use this remote control in the future to control your TV.
Finding such a code can be a problem, since this information may look complicated and inaccessible to an ignorant user. As we will show below, there are special sources where you can get this remote control code from your TV and use it to program your remote control.
