Yes — you can pair an AT remote to a Blu-ray player in under 2 minutes using the code-search method; no manual code entry required.
Pairing usually completes in 2 minutes or less with the code-search method.
Pairing usually completes in 2 minutes or less with the code-search method.
Most remotes made after 2020 handle this “code search” trick automatically. Only a handful of budget models from 2018–2019 still force you to dig up codes on the manufacturer’s website. The trick works because the remote captures a signal the Blu-ray player instantly recognizes.
Walk me through the pairing process step by step
Turn on the Blu-ray player and clear anything sitting in front of its IR sensor.
Grab the AT remote. Hold the SETUP button—sometimes it’s labeled CODE SEARCH—until the top LED stays solid, about three seconds.
Let go of SETUP once the light stays on.
Within five seconds, press DVD once (or Blu-ray if your remote has it). The LED should blink once, then stay lit.
Aim the remote at the front panel of the Blu-ray player. Press and release CHANNEL UP (▲) roughly once per second until the player reacts—power toggles, volume mutes, tray opens, or disc spins.
The instant the player responds, press SETUP once to save the code. The LED should shut off.
Test it: press DVD (or Blu-ray) to turn the player on and off. If it obeys, you’re done.
If auto-search fails, manually enter codes or swap batteries.
If auto-search fails, manually enter codes or swap batteries.
Try the direct code list: Flip the remote over; many have a sticker with brand codes. Sony Blu-ray codes, for example, include 0036, 0061, 0062, 0099, 0133, and 0135. Enter SETUP, type the code, then hit SETUP again to store it.
Run the auto-search again with fresh batteries: Weak cells can kill the LED too soon. Pop in a fresh set of AAA batteries—yes, even in 2026 most remotes still run on them.
Check the sensor path: Blu-ray players usually hide the IR receiver on the front-right edge. Move anything shiny or any LED strips that might bounce the signal away.
Prevent future pairing issues by labeling remotes and saving the working code.

Stick a tiny note inside a drawer with the last code that worked—no more redoing the search. If your remote can update (Comcast Xfinity remotes since 2023 push updates automatically when they’re online), let it. Finally, slap a sticker on each remote (“AT remote – Blu-ray #2”) so you don’t grab the cable or soundbar remote by mistake.
