Proscan TV Universal Remote Codes & Setup Guide

Getting a universal remote to pair with a Proscan TV can be tricky because Proscan manufacturing has changed hands multiple times. This means a code that works for a 2015 model might not work for a 2024 model.

This guide categorizes codes by the brand of remote you are holding (GE, RCA, Comcast, etc.) and explains the “RCA Trick” to solve stubborn pairing issues.

Pro Tip: If your remote requires a 5-digit code but you only see 4 digits here, try adding a 1 to the beginning (e.g., 0466 becomes 10466).

How to Program a Universal Remote to a Proscan TV

Method 1: Direct Code Entry (Recommended)

This is the fastest method if you have the codes from the tables above.

  1. Power on your Proscan TV manually.
  2. Find the SETUP button on your remote. Press and hold it until the red indicator light turns on and remains steady.
  3. Press and release the TV button on the remote. The light should blink once and stay on.
  4. Enter the first code from the list.
  5. The Light Test:
    • If the light turns off after the last digit, the code was accepted.
    • If the light blinks multiple times rapidly, the code is invalid. Try the next one.
  6. Point the remote at the TV and press POWER. If the TV turns off, you are done.

Method 2: Auto-Search Code Search

If none of the codes above work, force the remote to scan its entire database.

  1. Turn on the TV.
  2. Hold SETUP until the light stays on.
  3. Press the TV button.
  4. Press the POWER button repeatedly (wait 2 seconds between presses).
    • Note: Some remotes (like GE) require you to press VOL+ or CH+ instead of Power. Check your specific remote model if Power doesn’t work.
  5. When the TV finally turns off, press ENTER or SETUP immediately to lock in the code.

Troubleshooting Proscan TV Remote Issues (The “RCA Trick”)

If you have tried every Proscan code and nothing works, your TV likely uses an RCA chipset.

Proscan is a brand that has often shared manufacturing lines with RCA. If you are stuck, open your remote’s manual (or search online) for RCA TV codes instead of Proscan.

  • Try the most common RCA code: 0047 or 10466.
  • This cross-compatibility works for approximately 60% of “unresponsive” Proscan TVs.

Frequently Asked Questions

My remote controls the volume but won’t turn the TV on/off. Why?

This is a “partial match.” You have programmed a code that shares the same frequency for volume as your TV, but a different frequency for power. You must re-program the remote using the next code in the list. Do not settle for the first code that works partially; keep trying until all functions work.

Does Proscan have a “Magic Code” that works for everything?

No, but Code 0466 (and its variants like 10466) is the closest thing to a universal standard for Proscan. It works across a wide range of models manufactured between 2010 and 2020.

How do I find the code if I lost my manual and the auto-search isn’t working?

Open the battery compartment of your remote. Locate the model number (e.g., GE 33709). Go to the manufacturer’s website (like Jascoproducts for GE) and look up that specific model’s code list. Generic lists sometimes miss model-specific variations.

Conclusion

Most Proscan TVs will pair instantly with code 0466 or 10466. If those fail, the Auto-Search method is your most reliable backup, as it cycles through every available frequency. If you have successfully paired the remote but find the buttons are sluggish, the issue is likely not the code but the remote’s IR sensor. Try replacing the batteries first. If that fails, consider upgrading to a learning remote (like a Logitech Harmony or higher-end One For All) which can copy signals directly from your original remote.
