how to program a universal remote to a tv without codes

You can program a universal remote to a TV without codes by using the auto search method. The auto search method allows you to search your remote codes as per your device types and brand. If you find the correct code for your TV, then you can operate your smart tv by using the universal remote. 

Steps to program a universal remote to a tv without codes

You can follow the below steps for programming your universal remote to a tv without remote codes. 

  1. Install the new batteries on your remote control or make sure your remote control is working properly.
  2. After that, Turn on the TV.
  3. Take your remote control and point it to TV. Press on the Code Search or Setup button on your remote. Press and hold this button until the LED indicator light turns on or blinks. It indicates that your universal remote is now in programming mode with your TV.
  4. Now, press on the TV button on your universal remote control. 
  5. Press on the power off/on button.  The universal remote will send a series of remote codes to your TV. The indicator light on the remote will blink each time a remote code is sent.
  6. When the TV turns off or reacts (e.g., changes channel, volume, etc.), it means the remote has found the correct TV remote code. Once you notice a response, stop pressing the “Power” button immediately.
  7. You can test your remote by using the volume control or menu navigation.
  8. If everything works as expected, press a button on the remote to save the code. Often, it’s the “Setup” or “Code Search” button. The LED indicator light will blink twice or turn off to  indicate that the remote code has been successfully stored.

It’s important to note that programming a universal remote without codes, especially using the auto-search method, can be time-consuming and may not always yield successful results. However, it can be a useful option when you’re unable to find the right codes or don’t have access to them. If possible, it’s always better to have the specific codes for your TV model as it usually ensures a more reliable and efficient setup.
