Programming the LG Universal Remote
Make sure that the universal remote you are using is compatible with your TV before starting the programming process. Universal remotes should list compatibility information on the back of the package or in the user manual.
Additionally, make sure the batteries in the remote are working. The programming process will not succeed if the batteries are not working.
Here are the steps you need to follow if you want your LG TV to be controlled by a universal remote:
Using the manual method
With a keycode, you can manually program a universal remote control to work with your LG TV. The keycode is helpful in identifying the make and model of your equipment. Follow the steps below:
Power on the device
- and select “TV” on your LG universal remote
- You must hold down the “setup” button of the universal remote until you see a “light flask” (this indicates that the remote is in learning mode).
- Input the keycode you collected.
- Press and hold the power button while pointing the remote at the TV.
- When the screen turns off, release the power button.
Now, your TV should work just fine with the universal remote. If not, repeat the steps above, using a different code from the list above until it does.
Using the code search method
You can use the code search method if you were not able to find a compatible keycode for your universal remote. To search for the correct code, your remote is set to a search mode. Follow these steps:
- Turn on the device
- by holding down the “Setup” button
- and dialing 9-1-1 (3-digit code)
- Hold down the power button, then press the channel up until the TV turns off.
Although it takes longer than the manual method to find your keycode, it is the best method. After you switch on your TV again, your remote should work without any problem.
