Hold down the Smart Home ( ) button and BACK ( ) button on the Magic Remote Control for 5 seconds to initialize the Magic Remote Control. While some remotes are certainly slimmer – like the sleek, secondary remote that comes with the best Samsung TVs – the new Magic Remote is clearly engineered to fit in the hand more comfortably than most.

Unless you get the receiver to recognize the magic remote (by this I mean the on/off function) I doubt you will ever get the remote to work with the rest of receiver functions such as volume or mute.

Remote 1 did not seem to do anything during the test -- no powering, no input changing, and no UPing -- but I went on to apply it anyway, and voila, it did indeed allow my Magic Remote to change the AVR volume. The remote control is designed for use with 2020 TVs and it will also work with TVs produced since 2017. If it is not paired to TV then it uses IR but if it is paired then it uses bluetooth and only the power button uses IR as bluetooth adapter (depending on TV model it is integrated or plugged in USB port of TV) doesn't support turning the TV on and off.

The AN-MR500G model after that was condensed into more of an oval shape, like the floating obelisks from Denis Villeneuve’s 2016 sci-fi drama Arrival, pulling the center of gravity towards the remote’s midpoint but with essentially the same layout – as LG oscillated into a convex shape instead.Note that the options and steps listed below may be different depending on your LG TV’s model or software version. When you use your LG smart TV, you want to have an immersive experience with a remote control that seamlessly connects you to your TV.

You might have to use the switch source button (it’ll be near the top) before it works on the source you’re viewing. I’ve followed the conventional wisdom of going into the TV’s Universal Control Settings and getting as far as choosing Philips (no Sonos option available) only for the remote not to be recognised when the tv runs the test with the “power” button.Once done, you cycle through a series of choices -- the actual codes are hidden behind overly friendly named Remote 1, Remote 2, etc.

It’s seen a new evolution for 2021, too, a whole decade later – refining its proposition, while also making some concessions to more traditional remote form factors. The Magic Remote Control acts as both a cursor and a remote control that allows you to operate your Smart TV and the external devices connected to it. Remote control for UH655x, UH650x , UH635x, UH633x, UH630x, UH950x, UH850x, UH770x, G6, E6, C6, B6 series TVs.

While the 12th code did indeed turn the Denon AVR on and off, it was the very first code in the list that changed volume. Once the app is done handling the Back button, webOS TV will take over the behavior of the Back button. The Magic Remote Control also supports voice commands and gestures to allow you convenient access to various Smart TV functions. I am having a heck of a time with a task that should be really easy: tuning my LG 55" OLED television's "Magic Remote" to control the volume on my Denon AVR-S540BT receiver.
