Why You Need the Right Codes
GE universal remotes rely on specific codes to connect with devices like your Sony Blu-Ray player. These codes act as a bridge between the remote and the player. Without the correct code, the remote won’t work. Luckily, we’ve gathered the latest codes and tips to help you get started.
GE Universal Remote Codes for Sony Blu-Ray Players
Here are the most current codes for programming your GE universal remote to a Sony Blu-Ray player. Depending on your remote model (CL3, CL4, or CL5), one of these should work. Check your remote’s user manual to confirm which version you have.
- 4275
- 4165
- 2305
These codes come in 4-digit, 3-digit, or 5-digit formats, depending on your remote. Pick one and follow the steps below. If the first code doesn’t work, try the next one until you find a match.
How to Program Your GE Universal Remote
Programming your remote is straightforward. Just follow these steps carefully:
- Turn On Your Blu-Ray Player
Make sure your Sony Blu-Ray player is powered on and ready. - Find the Correct Code
Choose a code from the list above (4275, 4165, or 2305). - Press the Setup Button
On your GE remote, press and hold the “Setup” button until the red light stays on, then release it. - Select the Device Button
Press the button labeled for your device (usually “DVD” or “Blu-Ray”) and let go. - Enter the Code
Use the number buttons on your remote to type in the code you chose. - Test the Remote
Point the remote at your Blu-Ray player and press a few buttons (like “Play” or “Stop”). If the player responds, the code worked! If not, repeat the steps with a different code. - Repeat for Other Devices
If you want to program more devices, follow the same process for each one.

Troubleshooting Common Problems
If your remote isn’t working, don’t panic. Here are some quick fixes:
- Double-Check the Code
Make sure you entered the right numbers. A small mistake can stop it from working. - Replace the Batteries
Weak batteries can cause issues. Put in fresh ones and try again. - Aim Properly
Point the remote directly at the Blu-Ray player’s sensor with nothing blocking the way. - Stay Close
Stand 3-10 feet from the player for a strong signal. - Match the Code to Your Model
Some codes only work with certain Sony Blu-Ray models. Check your player’s manual to confirm. - Switch Modes
Ensure your remote is set to “DVD” or “Blu-Ray” mode. - Try Code Search
If none of the codes work, use the “Code Search” feature. Look up how to do this in your remote’s manual. - Reset the Remote
Still no luck? Reset your remote to factory settings (instructions are in the manual). - Check the Player
Go to your Blu-Ray player’s settings and make sure it’s set to accept remote signals. - Clean the Sensor
Dust on the player’s sensor can block signals. Wipe it gently with a soft cloth. - Test Another Remote
If you have a spare universal remote, try it to see if the issue is with the GE remote or the player. - Ask for Help
If nothing works, contact GE or Sony support for advice.
These tips should solve most issues and get your remote running smoothly.
