Connecting to Other Sanyo Devices

Tips and Techniques for Successful Programming
Understanding Code Compatibility
You need to understand the compatibility of your GE remote control with your Sanyo TV.
Check the version number of your remote, typically found on a white sticker inside the battery compartment. Look for V1-V5, none = V1 (older), newest = CL3, CL4, or CL5.
This helps you in identifying the right programming codes for your remote.
Compatibility matters because different remote versions use different sets of codes.
So, when you’re programming your GE remote, make sure to use the correct codes for your specific remote version.

To start using One for All remote codes, follow these steps:

- Press down and hold the setup button: Hold down the setup button until the red light on your remote stays on.
- Enter the One for All code: Refer to the list of One for All remote codes to find the appropriate code for your Sanyo TV, and input it using your remote’s number pad.
