How to Program Your Universal Remote to LG TV

Programming your universal remote is straightforward. Follow these steps based on your remote’s design.

Method 1: Using the Setup Button

Most universal remotes have a “Setup” button. Here’s how to program it:

1. Turn on your LG TV.
2. Press and hold the “Setup” button until the red light on the power button turns on.
3. Press the “TV” button once.
4. Enter a 4-digit or 5-digit code from the list above (e.g., 10178).
5. If the code is correct, the red light turns off. Test the remote by pressing the power button.
6. If the code doesn’t work, repeat steps 2–5 with the next code.

Method 2: Without Setup Button

For remotes without a Setup button:

1. Turn on your LG TV.
2. Press and hold the “Power” button for 5–10 seconds until the light turns on.
3. Enter a code using the number buttons.
4. Press “Power” again to test if it works.
5. If it doesn’t work, repeat with another code.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues, try these solutions:

• No Code Works: Use the auto-code search feature if available. Hold the Setup button, then press Power repeatedly until the TV turns off.
• Compatibility Issues: Confirm your remote supports LG TVs. Most do, but older models may not.
• Reset the Remote: If previously programmed, reset it by holding the Setup button for 10–20 seconds or consulting the manual.
• Point at Sensor: Ensure you’re aiming at the TV’s remote sensor, typically at the bottom center.

Using LG Magic Remote’s Universal Control Feature

LG TVs with WebOS 4.5 or later (including 2025 models like the LG G4 OLED) support the Magic Remote’s universal control feature. This allows control of devices like set-top boxes or soundbars.

1. Go to Settings > More Settings > Remote Control > Universal Control.
2. Select “Set Up” and follow the on-screen instructions.
3. Choose the device type (e.g., set-top box) and input source (e.g., HDMI 1).
4. The TV attempts to pair automatically. If it fails, enter a code manually.

The Magic Remote uses Bluetooth for some functions, requiring a Bluetooth-enabled TV. Check your TV’s manual for compatibility .

Additional Tips

• LG ThinQ App: Download the LG ThinQ app from the App Store or Google Play to use your smartphone as a remote. It connects via Wi-Fi and supports most LG Smart TVs.
• Pairing Other Devices: The Magic Remote can control soundbars or Blu-ray players via the universal control feature. Follow the same setup process.
• Firmware Updates: Keep your TV and remote firmware updated through the TV’s settings menu to ensure compatibility.
• Check TV Model: Some codes work better with specific LG TV models. Find your model number on the back of the TV or in the settings menu.
