Vizio has a fantastic reputation for offering high-quality TVs with the latest tech at a great value. If you’re a proud Vizio owner but your original remote has gone missing, pairing it with an ONN universal remote is a smart and affordable way to get back in control of your TV’s features.
My name is Chris, and in this guide, I’ve curated a community-tested list of codes specifically for Vizio TVs, along with a helpful tip for SmartCast users.
Expert Insight from Chris: If you have a Vizio TV with the SmartCast operating system, it’s important to know what an IR universal remote can do. The codes below will allow your ONN remote to perfectly control your TV’s core functions—Power, Volume, and changing Inputs. However, it will not navigate the apps inside the SmartCast menu. For that, you’ll still need the original Vizio remote or the SmartCast mobile app.

How to Program Your Remote for a Vizio TV
Once you have a code from the list, the setup process is simple.
Quick Tip: When following the instructions in our main guides, make sure you press the
TVbutton on your ONN remote to tell it which device you are programming.
- Method 1: Direct Code Entry This is the fastest method. For the full, step-by-step instructions, please see our [Complete Guide to Programming with a Code].
- Method 2: Auto-Code Search If the codes above didn’t work, this method will find one for you. For instructions, see our [Guide to Programming Without a Code (Auto-Search)].
Frequently Asked Questions (Vizio TVs)
If you’ve tried all the codes on the list, the Auto-Code Search method (linked above) is your best solution. It will scan the remote’s entire library and is very effective at finding a match.
This is normal. As mentioned in the “Expert Insight” box above, your IR universal remote can only control the TV’s basic IR functions (power, volume, etc.). The SmartCast “smart” interface requires the original Wi-Fi/Bluetooth remote that came with the TV.
Over the years, Vizio has used different manufacturers for their internal components. Different hardware requires different codes, which is why it’s sometimes necessary to try more than one to find the perfect match for your specific model.
This is a classic sign of a “partial code” match. It means the code you used only has some of the commands for your TV. The best way to fix this is to run the Auto-Code Search again to find a more compatible code.
