GPX TV Universal Remote Codes: The Fast-Track Guide

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 > Press TV > Enter 0178 > Press POWER.
  • 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 VersionWorking Codes
Newer GE Models4701, 0178, 0466, 0051, 0030, 1144
Older GE Models0004, 0009, 0005, 0227, 0342
Philips / Magnavox0002, 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.

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:

  1. For the Screen: Program the TV button with 0178 or 0047.
  2. For the DVD Player: Program the AUX or DVD button with 2049 or 2184.
    • Note: You must switch modes on the remote (press TV or AUX) to control the respective part of the unit.

4. How to Program (Step-by-Step)

Method A: Direct Entry (Precision)

  1. Turn on the GPX TV.
  2. Press and hold SETUP until the red light stays on.
  3. Press the TV button once.
  4. Enter the 4 or 5-digit code.
  5. 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.

  1. Turn on the TV.
  2. Hold SETUP until the light stays on.
  3. Press TV.
  4. Press POWER slowly and repeatedly (every 2 seconds).
    • Note for GE users: If POWER doesn’t work, press CH+ instead.
  5. When the TV shuts off, press ENTER immediately to save.

Troubleshooting & FAQs

I found a code that works the volume, but the TV won’t turn off.

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.

My GPX TV isn’t listed in my remote’s paper manual.

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.

Will this remote work on a GPX Sound System?

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.
