Programming Your Universal Remote

Once you have the right code, programming your universal remote is straightforward. Follow these steps to set it up:

1. Turn on your Vizio TV manually or using the TV’s power button.
2. Press and hold the “Setup” button on your universal remote until the LED light (usually red or green) turns on and stays lit.
3. Press the “TV” button (or the device button for your TV) on the remote.
4. Enter the code for your Vizio TV using the number buttons. Start with a common code like 10178 (5-digit) or 19 (2-digit). The LED should flash once per digit and twice after the last digit if the code is accepted.
5. Point the remote at the TV and press the “Power” button. If the TV turns off, the code worked. If not, repeat steps 2–5 with another code from the list.

Tip: Some remotes have an auto-search feature that finds the correct code automatically. Check your remote’s manual for instructions on how to use it.

Troubleshooting

If your universal remote isn’t working, don’t worry. Here are some common issues and how to fix them:

• Remote not responding: Replace the batteries with fresh ones and ensure they’re inserted correctly.
• Code not working: Try another code from the list. Start with the most common ones like 19, 004, or 10178.
• No signal to TV: Make sure there are no objects blocking the path between the remote and the TV’s infrared sensor. Point the remote directly at the TV.
• Still not working: Use your remote’s auto-search feature or contact the remote’s manufacturer for support. You can also check Vizio’s support page for additional help: Vizio Support.

Alternative Control Methods

If programming a universal remote feels like too much hassle, or if you don’t have one, you can control your Vizio TV using a smartphone app. Apps like BoostVision allow you to use your phone as a remote over Wi-Fi, no codes required.
