    I have a GE universal remote cl3 version ands I’m trying to program it it for a RCA blu ray DVD surround sound home theater system. With the 2 codes that have worked I can not scroll down. It’s really annoying since that means I can’t get to the YouTube app or down to see any movies in the vudu app.

    Does this mean this type of remote just woint work with my device. I think this because this is the second GE remote (new one is different/more expensive).
