Most users struggle to program remotes for GPX TVs because manuals often hide these codes under “GoldStar” or “LG” (which share the same frequency). Instead of scrolling through endless lists, this guide is structured by speed: try the “Master Code” first, then your specific remote brand, and finally the manual search method.
1. The “Master Code” (Try This First)
Before you try anything else, enter Code 0178 (or 10178 for 5-digit remotes).
- Why? This single frequency works for approximately 70% of GPX LED and LCD TVs.
- How: Hold
SETUP> PressTV> Enter0178> PressPOWER. - If the TV turns off, you are finished. If not, proceed to the lists below.
2. Codes by Remote Manufacturer
If the master code failed, locate your remote control’s brand below.
GE & Philips Remotes
GE remotes are the most common aftermarket choice for GPX TVs. They typically require 4-digit codes.
| Remote Version | Working Codes |
| Newer GE Models | 4701, 0178, 0466, 0051, 0030, 1144 |
| Older GE Models | 0004, 0009, 0005, 0227, 0342 |
| Philips / Magnavox | 0002, 0178, 0019, 0706 |
RCA Remotes
RCA and GPX often share internal components. If you have an RCA remote, these codes have a very high success rate.
- 4-Digit: 1000, 1004, 1005, 1047, 1060, 1144, 1204
- 5-Digit: 10178, 10463, 10047, 10051, 12183
Cable & Satellite Providers
Use these if you want your cable remote to control the TV’s volume.
| Provider | Codes |
| Comcast / Xfinity | 10178, 10030, 10463, 11756, 10054 |
| DirecTV | 10178, 10056, 10030, 10463 |
| Dish Network | 759, 206, 755, 178 |
| Cox / Spectrum | 0178, 0047, 0466, 2049 |
3. The “Combo Unit” Problem (TV/DVD)
A major pain point for GPX owners is the TV/DVD Combo.
Standard TV codes often control the screen but fail to operate the DVD player. These units usually require two separate codes:
- For the Screen: Program the
TVbutton with 0178 or 0047. - For the DVD Player: Program the
AUXorDVDbutton with 2049 or 2184.- Note: You must switch modes on the remote (press
TVorAUX) to control the respective part of the unit.
- Note: You must switch modes on the remote (press
4. How to Program (Step-by-Step)
Method A: Direct Entry (Precision)
- Turn on the GPX TV.
- Press and hold
SETUPuntil the red light stays on. - Press the
TVbutton once. - Enter the 4 or 5-digit code.
- Test: Point at the TV and press
POWER.
Method B: Auto-Search (The “Nuclear” Option)
Use this only if no codes above work. It scans the remote’s full memory.
- Turn on the TV.
- Hold
SETUPuntil the light stays on. - Press
TV. - Press
POWERslowly and repeatedly (every 2 seconds).- Note for GE users: If
POWERdoesn’t work, pressCH+instead.
- Note for GE users: If
- When the TV shuts off, press
ENTERimmediately to save.
Troubleshooting & FAQs
This is a partial code match. The remote is using a frequency “close enough” to hit the volume sensor but not the power sensor. Do not keep this code. You must continue down the list or resume the Auto-Search to find the exact match.
GPX is a budget brand that often utilizes LG or GoldStar technology. If you need to look up codes in a physical booklet, check under those two brands first.
Likely not. GPX audio systems use different IR protocols than their TVs. Universal remotes are generally designed for video devices (TV/DVD/Sat) and rarely support budget audio shelf systems.
