How to Program Bell Remote to TV Without Code

Programming a Bell remote to a TV without a code can be a bit challenging, but it is still possible. In this guide, we will walk you through a step-by-step process to program your Bell remote to your TV using alternative methods.

Please note that the instructions may vary depending on the model of your Bell remote and your TV. Let’s get started!

Step 1: Prepare Your Remote and TV.

Before we begin programming, make sure you have fresh batteries in your Bell remote and that it is in good working condition. Also, ensure that your TV is powered on and within range of the remote.

Step 2: Find the Appropriate Remote Mode.

Bell remotes have different modes (TV, DVD, AUX, etc.) that allow you to control various devices. To program your remote, you need to ensure that it is in TV mode. Look for a button labeled “TV” or similar on your remote and press it to switch to TV mode. If you don’t see such a button, consult the user manual for your specific remote model to identify the TV mode.

Step 3: Start the Programming Process.

Now that you are in TV mode, it’s time to initiate the programming process. Bell remotes typically have two main methods for programming: the auto-search method and the manual code entry method. Since we don’t have a specific code, we’ll focus on the auto-search method.

Step 4: Enter Auto-Search Mode.

To enter auto-search mode, press and hold the “TV” button and the “OK/SEL” button simultaneously for about 3-5 seconds. Release the buttons when the TV mode button blinks twice, indicating that you are now in auto-search mode.

Step 5: Activate the Auto-Search Function.

With the remote in auto-search mode, it will start sending out pre-programmed TV codes one by one until it finds the correct one that works with your TV. Follow these steps to activate the auto-search function:

a. Point the remote towards the TV and press the “CH+” button repeatedly. Each time you press the button, the remote will send out a different code.

b. Continue pressing the “CH+” button until your TV turns off. This indicates that the remote has found a code that works with your TV. If your TV doesn’t turn off after trying all the codes, proceed to the next step.

Step 6: Manually Test the Code.

In some cases, the auto-search function may not find a working code for your TV. If your TV didn’t turn off during the auto-search process, we can manually test potential codes. Here’s how:

a. Once your TV turns off during the auto-search process, immediately press the “TV” button on the remote to save the code.

b. Now, press the “Power” button on the remote. If your TV turns back on, press the “TV” button again to lock in the code. If it doesn’t turn on, repeat the steps from Step 5 and try the next code.

c. Continue this process until you find a code that turns your TV on and off. Once you have a working code, press the “TV” button to lock it in.

Step 7: Testing Other Functions.

After successfully programming your remote with a code, it’s time to check if other functions work properly. Test the volume, channel buttons, and other essential functions to ensure that your remote is fully functional with your TV.

Step 8: Storing the Code.

To avoid losing the programmed code, make sure to store it properly. Remove the battery cover on the back of the remote and locate the code sticker or label. Write down the code you found during the programming process on this sticker. This way, you can refer to it later if you need to reprogram the remote or replace the batteries.

Congratulations! You have now programmed your Bell remote to your TV without a specific code. Your remote should be able to control your TV’s basic functions.

However, please note that without the correct code, some advanced features may not be available. If you encounter any issues or need further assistance, consult the user manual for your specific Bell remote model or contact Bell customer support for guidance.
