A Vizio universal remote is a perfect alternative in place of your electronic devices’ remotes at home. However, you still need remote codes and the right programming steps to integrate the Vizio remote with your devices.

If you’re unsure how to program Vizio universal remote codes, our tech team provided simple methods of setting it up in this guide.

This time, the light will turn off, which means the program is successful. If not, you will need to go over the process again. Maybe you missed a step, or you didn’t follow the steps carefully. 

How to Program a Vizio Universal Remote Via Manual Method

When you buy the Vizio universal remote, it comes with a user manual or instruction manual stating the proper way and the codes needed to program the remote. You can try to refer to the user manual to resolve your programming concern. 

But, to make it convenient for you, we suggest following the direction below to program your Vizio universal remote.

  1. Turn on your TV manually or the device you want to control. 
  2. Press the TV button and long-press for about five seconds until you see the indicator light [1] blink twice. This time, the LED light should remain lit. 
  3. Search the programming code for your TV through the list of codes in the user manual. Using the NUMBER button, input the code, and the LED light should blink once every time you enter a digit. You will know the code is accepted when the LED light blinks twice after you enter the last number of the code, and the light will then turn off. 
  4. Point your Vizio universal remote to your TV or any device and press the POWER key. The setup is complete when your TV powers off. If not, start all over again using a different code.

Just note that if you use the right code, only then the programming will be successful. However, suppose the Vizio universal remote functions fail to operate. In that case, you will need to repeat the steps from the start using other codes given, depending on your TV (or other devices) brand. 

How to Program a Vizio Universal Remote Via Code Search

You could use the automatic code search feature to find the codes for your device if you were not able to find them online. This feature is included in all universal remotes, including Vizio universal remote controls. 

Here’s what you should do:

1. Power on your TV (or any electronic device). 

2. Tap the TV button once on your Vizio remote. 

3. Long-press the TV and POWER buttons simultaneously, then release.

4. Tap the PLAY key and release. 

5. After you release the button, just wait for a few seconds to see if the TV will turn off. If it does not, follow the procedure again. The remote will then find the correct code for your TV.

7. You can save the search code for the remote. After that, you can try different buttons on your TV to inspect its remote functionality.
