Stop juggling two remotes just to change the channel and volume. If you are a Charter Spectrum subscriber, you can program your cable remote to control your Vizio TV in under two minutes. This guide provides the tested codes and the direct setup instructions to streamline your entertainment system today.
Step 1: Find the Right Code for Your Vizio TV
Your Charter remote requires a specific code to “talk” to your Vizio TV. The code length depends on your specific remote model (usually determined by the SETUP button style or age of the remote).
Try these codes in order. The first one usually works for 90% of Vizio models.
| Code Type | Verified Vizio TV Codes for Charter Remotes |
| 5-Digit Codes | 11758 (Most Common), 12707, 10864, 10885 |
| 4-Digit Codes | 1758, 1756, 0864, 2707 |
Step 2: How to Program (Direct Code Entry)
The “Direct Code Entry” method is the fastest way to pair your devices.
- Power on your Vizio TV manually.
- Press the TV button on your Charter remote once.
- Press and hold the SETUP button until the TV button flashes twice.
- Enter the first code from the list above.
- Success Indicator: The TV button should flash twice again to confirm the code was stored.
- Aim the remote at your TV and press POWER. If the TV turns off, you are done.
What If It Doesn’t Work?
If the TV doesn’t turn off, repeat the steps above with the next code in the list.
If you have tried every code and the remote is still unresponsive, the issue might not be the code itself. Sometimes, the remote’s internal memory gets stuck. Before you give up, try a soft reset to clear these glitches. We explain exactly how to do this in our guide on how to reset an unresponsive Vizio remote.
Method 2: Auto-Code Search (If Codes Fail)
If none of the specific codes work, your Charter remote can scan its entire library to find a match.
- Turn on your TV.
- Hold SETUP until the TV button blinks twice.
- Enter 9-9-1. The TV button will blink twice.
- Aim the remote at the TV and press the PLAY button.
- Press CHANNEL UP repeatedly (slowly) until the TV turns off.
- As soon as it turns off, press SETUP to lock in the code.
Beyond the TV: Controlling Your Soundbar
A true universal setup means controlling your audio, too. If you are using a Vizio soundbar, your Charter remote can likely handle the volume, but it requires a separate configuration. You will need to look up the specific pairing codes in our Vizio soundbar universal remote code list.
Transferable Skills: Moving to Comcast?
Interestingly, Charter and Comcast remotes share very similar programming architectures. If you ever switch providers, you’ll find that the setup process for programming a Comcast remote to a Vizio TV is nearly identical to what you just did.
Frequently Asked Questions
This usually means you have a “partial code match.” The remote found a code that shares some signals (like volume) with your TV but not others (like power). To fix this, reprogram the remote using the next code in the list until you find one that controls all functions.
Some newer Charter Spectrum remotes do not have a SETUP button. For these models, you often need to press and hold the MENU and OK buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds until the input light blinks, then enter the code.
Yes. The infrared (IR) codes for Vizio TVs have remained consistent for years. Whether you have an older 1080p model or a new Vizio V-Series Smart TV, the codes listed above (specifically 11758) are the standard standard for the brand.
Conclusion
Syncing your Charter remote with your Vizio TV is a quick win that simplifies your daily viewing. By using the verified codes above and following the Direct Code Entry method, you can eliminate table clutter immediately.
