The continuing growth in the number of electronic devices in the home has led to development of improved and expanded remote control capabilities. Many manufacturers have created universal remote controls that are capable of working with televisions, DVD players, home theater systems and many other home electronics.These universal remotes have great value, reducing the number of remote controls required to operate these devices to just one. Each remote is capable of "learning"' the commands for each device, using a series of codes provided by the manufacturer. These codes are typically provided as part of the owner's manual or as a separate supplement to that manual.General Electric, or GE, offers several such universal remotes, and each has a standardized procedure for entering codes and performing other programming tasks. The basic method is to consult the code guide or user manual to find the brand name of the TV or other device you own. Through a system of button pushes, the code is entered and acknowledged by the remote. Each code must be entered by hand and success confirmed by operating the device with the remote after entry.GE remotes store this code information in volatile memory; that is, if power is interrupted through battery removal or depletion the codes are lost. A common problem for remote owners is locating the code guide in order to reprogram the remote control. Since the codes are found in the user manual, it is very important to retain the manual for future use in this way. In the event the manual cannot be found, there are many websites that offer codes for various remotes and home audio-visual equipment. A wise GE remote control owner, however, retains the user manual and its accompanying codes in order to restore full function in the case of power loss.
