In this article, we would reveal all the LG TV remote codes and how to use them. LG builds their TVs to be compatible and operated by their remotes (Magic and Standard remotes), but the TVs are not only controlled by these remotes, they can also be controlled by other brands of remotes as long as you have the codes to enable the pair up.
LG Standard requires no setup to work with your LG TV. All you have to do is insert a good battery and use it.
LG Magic remote requires a pair up with the TV, but it does not require a code. To pair up the Magic remote with your LG TV, take these simple steps;
Face your Magic remote towards your TV and press the Wheel/OK button on your remote once. The pop-up message “registering new remote” would be displayed on your TV to show the progress. Once the progress is complete, the pair up is complete and your Magic remote is ready for use. (Really easy).
In the event where you want to make use of a remote made by another brand like the Universal remote, you would be required to have a remote code that suits your TV and remote.
To Pair your LG TV with a compatible Universal remote, there a two steps to go about it;
The first would require you to input the code manually while the other step, the right code, would be searched for automatically. Take the following steps for the pair up;
- MANUAL INPUT
- Turn ON your TV
- Press the SETUP button and afterwards, press and hold the DEVICE button which may be used to.
- Press down the device button on the remote, enter the appropriate code for the pair up. While entering the code, the button indicating Power will turn off.
- The device button should still be held down till the light turns back ON and stays ON, this indicates that the code you inputted is correct.
- If the power button light turns back ON but blinks severally, this means that the inputted code is incorrect. Repeat the code entry with other codes till you get the correct one.
When a pair up is successful, test out the universal remote on the TV to check if it works. The remote should be able to perform all functions like increasing/decreasing the TV’s volume, switching through different channels, turn OFF/ON the TV, etc.
AUTOMATIC SEARCH
- Turn ON your TV.
- Press the mode button on your remote and choose your LG TV.
- Press the MUTE and POWER button on your remote simultaneously.
- Hold down both buttons until your TV automatically searches for the correct code to match your remote.
- Once the correct code is found, the TV will turn OFF.
- Press the POWER button to turn ON the TV and verify the pair up.
When making use of the manual input option during pairing up with the Universal remote, codes are required, and each code matches a different model.
