GE 33701 universal remote set up instructions and pairing codes

GE 33701 big button universal remote control

The GE 33701 universal remote has a large, simplified keyboard, it's comfortable to hold and the big buttons are easy to read and press. It's ideal for those with impaired vision or anyone who simply wants a hassle-free entertainment experience. You can control of up to two devices, such as a TV, Soundbar, Cable Box, Satellite receiver or other compatible device. This remote is perfect for basic entertainment setups at home and in nursing homes, hotels and assisted living facilities; also a great choice for anyone wanting a simple, easy-to-use universal remote.

The remote is designed to control multiple audio/video devices. To be able to use, you will need to program the remote for your devices. There are two different methods you can use to program the remote: Direct Code Entry or Auto Code Search. The Direct Code Entry method is the recommended method as it is the simplest and quickest method in most cases. The Auto Code Search method may take longer to set up, as it searches through all the codes to find a compatible code for your device.

 

Direct Code Entry

  • Press and hold down the SETUP button on the remote until the LED turns on and remains on.
  • Press and release the device button for the type of device you wish to control (TV or cbl). The LED will blink once and remain on.
  • Enter the first 4-digit code from the pairing code lists. The LED will turn off after entering the 4th digit.
  • Point the remote at the device and test all buttons to see if the device responds as you would expect. If the buttons do not operate the device, start the pcedure again and enter the next code.

Auto Code Search

  • Press and hold down the SETUP button on the remote until the LED turns on and remains on.
  • Press and release the device button for the type of device you wish to control (TV or cbl). The LED will blink once and remain on.
  • With the remote pointed at the device, press and release the POWER button. The remote will send 10 different codes to the device. The LED will blink once for each code and remain on after sending the 10 codes. If the device does not respond, press and release the POWER button again. Do this step until your device responds.
  • When the device turns off, turn it back on. With the remote pointed at the device, press and release the VOL+ button again and again until the device turns off again (the remote will resend the 10 codes one-by-one).
  • When the device turns off, press and release the same device button you pressed in the second step to store the code.
  • Point the remote at the device and test all buttons to see if the device responds as you would expect. If the buttons do not operate the device, start the procedure again.
