LG Magic Remote for LG SMART TV: conquering your TV

Smart TV (Smart TV) or “smart television” is a function that is found on most modern TVs. To make it easier to control the device, LG produces a branded remote control – Magic Remote.

For the very first TVs with Smart TV, you need to purchase it separately. But the latest models (starting from the 7 series) are sold with two remote controls at once - a regular one and a Magic Remote. We will talk about the advantages of the device, models, compatibility with TVs, using the “magic” remote control, as well as the most common problems that can happen.

What is it for?

If you have ever tried to use a Smart TV system with a regular remote control using arrow keys, then you already understand how inconvenient it is. But I will highlight a few of the most striking amenities that you will gain by using this device:

  • The remote control is equipped with a gyroscope, so you can easily use it to move the mouse cursor like an electronic pointer. Some, of course, connect old wireless mice, but this is not particularly convenient, moving the mouse around the sofa.
  • The ability to give orders to the TV by voice. In the same way, you can not type a request into the search bar of your browser, but simply issue commands. This significantly reduces time.
  • It also has all the basic functions of a simple remote control.

It was invented primarily to simplify the task of managing the Smart operating system.

Setting up Samsung smart TVs

After establishing a connection to the Internet, you can proceed to setting up smart functions. Using Samsung as an example, the process looks like this.

At the first stage, you find a multi-colored button on the remote control that opens the Smart Hub menu.

You are trying to launch any of the applications presented in the list. If it opens, there is a connection, and you can proceed to selecting channels and playlists.

Full setup of a smart TV includes selecting channels and playlists, registration in online cinemas and media libraries. All this can be done using proprietary Samsung applications. The “Good Deeds Service” wizards will help you complete the task faster - and start enjoying watching within a few minutes after connecting to the Internet.

Models


Model AN-MR300
The very first model was the AN-MR300 series. It was convenient, but some users complained that the gyroscope's low sensitivity made it not so convenient to control the cursor. Later, the AN-MR400 version was released - it was a more reliable and sensitive remote control.

But now they are no longer produced. There are currently three versions on the market:

  • AN-MR500
  • AN-MR600
  • AN-MR650

Their difference lies in the supported TVs. Older remotes may support 2012 and 2013 TVs. They also have a slightly different design, and newer models have added buttons. I'll tell you about them below.


Model AN-MR400

There is a difference in the balancing system itself, and also in reducing electricity consumption. On the old AN-MR400, many users complained that the batteries ran out quickly. Older versions use an older version of Bluetooth, which further increases power consumption when sending a signal to the TV.

Appearance and buttons

The number of buttons will depend on the model and version of the remote control. Starting with the AN-MR600, buttons with numbers were added to the remote control. They are not available on earlier versions. Therefore, I will analyze the buttons and functionality using the latest versions of the MR600-650A as an example.

Now let's go through the buttons from top to bottom:

  1. Turning the TV on and off;
  2. Enable or disable the Smart TV set-top box. If you are not using a TV, but a set-top box from LG.
  1. Buttons for entering numbers and letters;
  2. LIST – access to the list of saved programs;
  3. 0 or space to enter text;
  4. AD – Display the remote control screen;
  1. + and – volume up and down buttons;
  2. Arrows to switch channels;
  3. Mute the sound;
  4. Button for entering a voice command;
  5. Return to the start menu page;
  6. Go to settings;
  1. Scroll wheel – you can also click on it;
  2. Arrows for menu navigation;
  3. Button to return to the previous menu or exit the menu;
  4. Show list of program guides;
  5. INPUT (wire icon) – Pressing and holding the (INPUT) button displays all lists of externally connected devices. For example, connected flash drives, USB, network cable, etc.
  6. An additional button for quick access to a specific section in the menu (May vary, Russian versions usually have IVI);
  7. Another similar button.

  1. Special customizable buttons for quick access to a specific menu section;
  2. Enable or disable teletext;
  3. Additional button for teletext control;
  4. Zoom in on a specific section of the screen to enlarge it.

Setting up a universal remote control to control devices

To switch between them, use zone A. Using the remote control, you can control your TV, DVD players and TV tuners, stereo systems and audio receivers, as well as a TV set-top box; to do this, just press the buttons with the corresponding values. However, the factory settings do not always correspond to the requirements of the devices, so additional adjustment may be required using the manufacturer's code, either manually or automatically.

Let's give an example of adjusting the television mode, but the same steps apply to DVD and audio.

With the TV turned on, hold down the TV button for a while, then release it as the LED lights up. Within ten seconds, enter the numeric code from the reference book that came with your device. If there is an error, the LED will blink three times; if entered correctly, it will go out. To check if the code works, try increasing the volume; if this happens, try other buttons. If any of them don't work, repeat the same sequence of steps but with different code.

WebOS

If you are too lazy to spend money on buying a remote control, and generally too lazy to go to the store. You can try downloading the "LG webOS Magic Remote" on your smartphone. This program has the same functionality as the remote control. Now you can control Smart TV functions from your phone. True, the application is supported only on smartphones with the Android operating system.

You can download the applications from Google Play here.

Then you just install it and use it. This application is a little more convenient, since the cursor can be controlled by touching the smartphone screen. From there it is also more convenient to enter text, for example, for queries in the search bar of an Internet browser.

Possible problems

It happens that you succeed in connecting the remote control, but it executes commands incorrectly, or after some time it stops working altogether. In this case, you need to bind the remote control to the TV again. How to do it:

  • hold down the “house” and the “BACK” key for a few seconds;
  • press the wheel, wait for the registration notification.

Other common problems and how to fix them:

  1. The cursor does not work. If shaking the remote control and re-registering does not help, check it for serviceability. Point the Magic Remote at your smartphone's camera and press any buttons. If the light on the phone screen is blinking, then the device is working properly. If not, the batteries may be dead or the remote may be faulty.
  2. Delayed response. If the pointer slows down or moves jerkily, put the device down for a while. When the cursor disappears, shake the remote control and check the operation of the pointer. If this does not help, register again or replace the batteries.
  3. Lost connection to TV. The reason may be obstacles, a distance between devices of more than 10 m, as well as interference from home appliances - other remote controls, computers, a router, and even a working microwave.
  4. Liquid has spilled onto the remote control. To revive the accessory, remove the batteries and wait until they dry completely. If it doesn't help, you'll have to take it in for repairs or buy a new one.
  5. There is plaque in the battery compartment. Most likely, they oxidized and leaked, causing the remote control to stop working. You need to change the batteries and wipe the inside of the compartment with a cloth moistened with hydrogen peroxide.

Sometimes the remote control does not recognize voice commands. Pronounce your words clearly and slowly. You will also have to practice with the gesture control function.

Reviews

We will only talk about the latest models 500 and 600, since the previous ones are already out of stock. The MR600 usually has positive reviews, since the manufacturer took into account all the shortcomings of previous remote controls and finally added input buttons, without which it was hard for Internet surfers.

But with the MR500 model everything is much more complicated. Most users complain that the remote control quickly drains the batteries. I think the problem is in the system that is supposed to put the remote into standby mode when the transmitter is not in use. This has all been fixed in version 600.

Also, most people complain about the scroll wheel, which simply starts to slip. This is due to the cheap rubber material. Many also write about the price, since initially the MR500 cost 2500-3000 rubles. But now the price has dropped to 1700.

Hello! We all know LG technology well. In this article we will talk about LG TVs and accessories for TVs. More specifically, about LG Magic Remotes. If you have come to this page, then most likely you are going to buy an LG Magic Remote, you have already bought it, but it does not work with your TV, or everything works fine, but you would like to know some information about this device, or leave a review . In any case, you have come to the right place.

Let's first understand what LG Magic Remote is . This is a proprietary LG remote control, which is designed to control the Smart functions of the TV. The latest model (2015) has already become universal, it has number keys, etc. This means that using this remote control you can also switch channels, call up settings and all that. The main features of the LG Magic Remote are, of course, the cursor that moves across the TV screen when you move the remote control in space (the remote control has a built-in gyroscope). At the same time, the remote control does not have to be aimed at the TV. It is also worth noting the scroll wheel (judging by the reviews, it is the weakest point of the remote control and often breaks), which is very convenient to use when viewing websites in the TV browser. Well, one more feature is voice search. You press a button, say the desired phrase into the remote control, and the TV is already looking for the information you need. You can talk to the TV, in the truest sense of the word.

At the moment there are 4 models of the Magic Remote: AN-MR300, AN-MR400, AN-MR500, AN-MR600. Magic Remote (AN-MR600) is the newest model so far. This is a 2015 model. It looks like this:

In fact, the thing is very cool. It’s a bit expensive, of course, but it’s very convenient to control your Smart TV using the LG Magic Remote. It replaces the mouse, which is not always convenient to use while lying on the couch, and even the keyboard. Typing text with this remote control is much more convenient than with a regular one. And, as I already wrote, you can perform voice commands. Well, the latest model also replaces the usual remote control for controlling channels. A universal device, whatever you say.

Connection, registration and setup

To use the remote control, you need to connect it to the TV. How to do it:

  • insert batteries, turn on TV;
  • wait until the download is complete;
  • point towards the screen and press the wheel.

A notification about registering the remote control should appear. If there is no message, turn off and turn on the TV again and repeat the procedure.

How to use the remote control to control smart TV functions? To do this you need to call the cursor. Just shake your device or rotate it left and right. An arrow will appear on the screen, which will move with the movement of your hand. If the accessory is not used for a long time or lies on a flat surface, the cursor disappears. To reactivate, you need to shake the remote control.

The cursor can be customized to suit you. Here are the instructions:

  • click on “house”, the main menu will open;
  • select "Settings", then "Settings" and "Index";
  • set the necessary parameters: speed, shape, size, alignment.

With the first three settings, I think everything is clear. But alignment allows you to move the cursor to the center of the screen when you shake the remote control.

Advice! To make the Magic Remote work like a regular remote, press any navigation button (circle with arrows). The second option is to press “house” and BACK.

Here you can download the user manual for the 2021 model of the remote control.

LG Magic Remote: compatibility and selection tips

As for the choice of the remote control itself, purchase, and compatibility issues, everything is sad there. Yes, the Magic Remote is included with LG TVs, if I'm not mistaken, from the seventh series onwards. In such cases there are no problems at all. Everything will definitely work. There is no need to talk about any compatibility between the remote control and the TV.

If you have a TV of the sixth series, or lower, then what should you do? After all, I want to buy such a useful and convenient device, but will the remote control work with my TV model? I want to immediately note that if your TV does not have a Smart TV, then you definitely do not need a remote control. He's no use.

In principle, if you came to buy a remote control in a regular store, then there should be no problems. Most likely, the store has the same TV as yours, you can check compatibility. But as for purchasing in online stores, everything is more complicated there.

Let's look at the two latest models: AN-MR500 and AN-MR600. In theory, the AN-MR500 works with 2014 TV models, and the AN-MR600 with 2015 models. It is clear that not all TV models are supported. But this information is nowhere to be found. I looked at these remote controls in various online stores and on the LG website. And what do you think, I haven’t found specific information on compatibility anywhere.

This means that for the AN-MR500 it is written that it works with all 2014 models. And on the page with the AN-MR600 remote control there are several models that seem to be exactly supported. There is such confusion there that it is simply scary. Moreover, the description indicates several specific TV models, and in the comments, LG representatives write about compatibility with even more models. Some, however, support the remote control when connecting an additional Wi-Fi/Bluetooth adapter AN WF500.

Really, you can break your head there. Nothing is clear. Now the main question: is it so difficult to post a list of compatible TVs for each Magic Remote? Is it so difficult to indicate which models support the remote control and which only have an adapter? The most interesting thing is that this information is not even on the LG website. As a rule, only a couple of models are indicated there (with which the remote control is included). I don't understand this, to be honest. Maybe I just didn't find this information. In this case, I will be grateful for the hint.

Bottom line

  1. There are 3 ways to configure the Rostelecom remote control: entering a code, brute force, or “copying” commands. The first one is simpler if you find the appropriate code. The second one will take a little longer, but sometimes you can set up a TV that does not have codes. The third is more universal, but you will need certain models of console and TV remotes.
  2. When buying a new TV, the remote control can be easily reset and reconfigured for it.
  3. If the Rostelecom remote control and the TV remote control work on the same channel, this can be corrected in the set-top box menu. It is rare, but if you are unlucky, I described the solution algorithm above.

If you have any questions, write how you set it up. Specify the TV model and the type of remote control for the set-top box.

Will LG Magic Remote work with my LG TV (Smart TV)?

I would like to collect on this page a list of TVs that work with one of two Magic Remotes: AN-MR500, AN-MR600. I think that the old models can no longer be considered.

I will also try to separately note TV models, to connect the remote control to which you will need a special AN WF500 receiver.

Please note that the compatibility information has not been personally verified by me. Most likely, this is information from forums, reviews in online stores, etc. Those models that I am sure are compatible, or information about compatibility was left in the comments to this article, will be highlighted.

I would be very grateful if you leave your feedback in the comments. If you have an LG Magic Remote and it works great with your TV, then write about it. The information will be useful to many.

AN-MR600 works with the following TVs:

2015 Models:

UF7590, UF7700, EG9600, EF9800, EF9500, UF7690, UF7600, UF9500, LF6300, UF8500, 43UF680, 42LF652V, LF630V

These models require a special adapter: 43UF640V

AN-MR500 works with the following TV models:

32LB652V, 47LB650V

These models require a special adapter: 43LF590V, 42 LF580V, 42 LB580V-ZB

I am gradually adding to the list.

Another great way to find out compatibility:

We go to the LG website and find the model of our TV there. Open the Technical Specifications and click on Smart TV . Opposite “Remote Control” the model that the TV supports will most likely be indicated.

Don't forget to leave feedback, tips and compatibility information in the comments.

Remote controls for LG Smart TVs are presented in the catalog with non-original and original models. At the same time, you can buy remote controls for LG Smart TVs of both the regular type, with a diode, and pointer remote controls (LG Magic Remote) that work via Bluetooth. But before you order a product, make sure you select it correctly. To do this, we recommend that you listen to our advice.

How to find a remote control for LG Smart TVs?

The most accurate and easiest way is to find the model of your native remote control. If you have a regular remote control, then you can find the model name on the case under the LG logo. If you are the owner of a Magic remote control, it is on the back side, under the battery compartment cover. “Magic” pointer remotes do not change each other, so carefully compare the appearance and functionality to see if they are identical. You can also find the remote control based on the model of your LG Smart TV. To do this, look for its model on the TV case, and then find possible options for it. To find the desired remote control on our “PultMarket” website, enter the exact name of the model in the search bar by selecting the search by remote control model or equipment model. If you couldn't find the device you need, write to us. We will try to respond as quickly as possible and find your remote control.

Basic principles of our online store

On the online shelves of the PULTMARKET online store there are a considerable number of original and non-original models of remote controls. Both originals and analogues are identical in functionality and appearance. You can also find special replacement remote controls, which are produced in different cases and may differ slightly in functionality. They are necessary only when the above-mentioned models cannot be found. Each product card contains reliable and up-to-date information about the availability of the remote control. Before entering the online storefront, remote controls are additionally checked for stable and correct operation. Delivery is possible to any part of Russia and abroad. To ensure that you receive your device as soon as possible, we ship orders daily, on weekdays. To ensure safety during transportation, each remote control is packed in bubble wrap. You can pay either in cash (upon receipt) or by prepayment.
