Man, you should be on LG pay roll. Its a mess to find a user guide for this remote control box. Short, efficient, comprehensive. Thanks a lot.

[@tresorberlin3207]

🤣🤣🤣

[@ForcefighterX2]

Yeah it's really absurd. My LG TV always shows some messages related to the "magic remote", but it has been impossible to find out what this is supposed to be. So I gave up a few days after using my brand new TV. Now, 4 years later, I gave it another try to figure out what my TV is talking about all this time. It's like a proof of concept of bad usability. Well failed LG, well failed.

Just saying thank you for this video you are an all star!!!

Saved me an hour of reading. Much appreciated. You forgot the NFC function. If you swipe your phone over the control the sound of the tv goes over the phone. This is great when using a headset (like with my Bose NC500).

Not all Magic Remotes support NFC. The one in the video does NOT (there is no logo at the bottom).

Thank you. You imparted a LOT of useful information. Now it comes to me taking the time to play around with my Magic Remote.

[@albertchan3238]

Hello, I am using the LG C1 and my magic remote is the same as you. The remote is NOT a Bluetooth ONLY remote. In fact it is an IR and Bluetooth remote combined. The power button is definitely IR. You may try to block the front of the remote and press the remote button and see if you can turn the TV on and off. The LG TV is so smart and can recognize my set top box brand and automatically allows my magic control to control my set top box with some limited controls such as PLAY PAUSE CHANGING CHANNEL. My set top box is IR only, so that proves the LG Smart control has IR function. Please try if you can use the smart remote to control you set top box. Have a nice play ;-) BTW: my set top box has recording function.

[@bazahaza]

It can control your other devices through the HDMi connection.

[@davidmcconnell1897]

Best video I’ve seen on this remote. Here’s a question I can’t get an answer to elsewhere and you seem as knowledgeable as anyone on this. I’ve figured out everything I need to do except how to pause, fast forward, rewind, or skip either live tv or my dvr recorded programs. It’s an Arris dvr with frontier FIOS. I hate having to have our STB remote out just to do these. I’ve got the ir blaster from tv to STB so I can change channels, and I can get to dvr programs thru the … button and selecting menu, I just can’t figure how to FF, skip, etc. Any answers greatly appreciated.

[@bazahaza]

I think you can pause by pressing the wheel down. Might not work in all apps.

[@ginjajon]

Also annoying me greatly. We have a Humax box and have the same issue. Hoping an answer will get posted here...

I just got my c1 after my 2019 nanocell decided to display horizontal lines. I miss the pause and play buttons on the old remote.

I just got my new LG TV with Magic Remote Control, but it's working so slow. The cursor doesn't respond as expected. LG has named it as "Magic", but this is the worst remote control I have ever had. I thought it was the batteries, but same result with new one. I keep getting a message on the TV screen informing about bad signals/connections with the remote. I have paired it several times, and I have run the latest updates on my LG TV. Cannot understand why a "magical" remote control not working. Maybe I should buy a new universal remote control, and just leave LGs "magial" remote? Or is there anything that can be done with the settings?

When i was streaming on all4 last night, it worked then. Very bizarre. Any help would be appreciated 🙏👍

[@magnusgustavsson2230]

Thanks for this great tutorial! I have one issue with this remote and its quite annoying. The volume control works well when using the internal loudspeakers of the TV. But when I use my home surround system (Yamaha) over HDMI arc, every step of adjusting the volume seems to give only half the change of level, compared to internal speakers. The result is that adjusting volume level is taking quite long time/ many steps. Is there a way to fix this? I also was thinking what a great thing if the wheel could be used for controlling the sound volume in some way. I think it's much more usable to change level than to scroll channels only. Anyone seen a mod/setting for this?

[@innocentrage1]

Very cool love the shortcut buttons. I hate how the scroll wheel becomes a mouse every time you roll it by accident

[@lpa9974]

I sooo agree! The “scroll” button drives me crazy! 🙃 If you make the slightest movement while pressing down, Thepounter goes all over the place. I really wish there was a way to fix that! do they do updates for TV controllers?

[@TommyLent]

Excellent video! Very clearly spelled out with good camera and no mumbo jumbo talk to distract. The only one was when you had the pointer at Prince William's forehead and you said "No disrespect". But THAT was funny! Anywa, I've bought a new LG a little over 2 months ago and pretty much use it to watch DVDs or have it connected to my PC and work from there. I'm just so used to the PC and standard mouse that I didn't really need too much work with the LG remote other than settings, etc. I figured I'd learn the spoken word and other things when I got around to it. Well. I got around to it. My girlfriend has a new LG 50" arriving Saturday and I know she won't be too keen on using a new remote that is much different and a bit complicated compared to her other smart tv standard Firestick type remote. So I'll need to at least get her up so speed on spoken word and accessing a site. No more than that. But I myself will utilize a lot more of it after watching this. Navigating from one setting, site, etc. without having to keep on backtracking and opening new screens will be a relief. So basically it took me having to get my girlfriend up to speed on the remote to actually get MYSELF up to speed. Again. Excellent video.

@@CheckAG for some reason my sat box will let me fast forward or rewind but the pause and play won’t work, unless I go into the menu and click them using the … button very annoying not having those dedicated buttons

I replaced mine with a cheap after market unit that was backlit and most usefully had an exit button rather than a one step back at a time button that this unit has. Overall more gimmick than useful

Hold down back button. 🤣

[@georgecav]

@@bazahaza Thanks but I have replaced the magic remote with a $20 after market unit that has a dedicated exit button which is much easier than having to hold down a back button which in any case wasn't something obvious to a lay user like me to do. It also has a backlit keyboard and is overall more user friendly for me.

Outstanding video! Can't seem to find info on how to go back to previous channel. Seems to be the only function I can't figure out. Seems like it should be a basic function to be able to go back to the previous channel while watching live TV. Any help would be appreciated!

Still can not get my DVD player or X box hooked up. Last week I got a 5 way splitter so i can connect a blue ray player & my Roku up along with a wireless keyboard. I am trying to set up my Sony wireless headset. ( Mom say TV to loud @ 1 am kids will be kids ) Other than that this is a great set. My boy wants to connect his Firestick in port no. 2. 🙂 Thank u 4 posting. I will b back 4 more info.
