Smart TV technology is found in many TVs of the LG brand. For easier control, the company produces special remotes called Magic Remote, which differ from conventional devices in a whole range of useful functions.
Why do you need such a remote control?
You can buy the Magic Remote on the official website of the company www.lg.com/ua/tv-accessories. But why is it needed, if you can get by with a regular remote control? In fact, it is very inconvenient to control the Smart TV system using a conventional switch, while the new device allows you to:
● Use it as an electronic pointer due to the built-in gyroscope. Of course, you can connect an ordinary mouse to the TV, but carrying it around the sofa is not very convenient.
● Give voice commands to the TV, search for the necessary information on the Internet also by voice. This is available thanks to the microphone that is built into the accessory.
Also, Magic Remote has the functions of a conventional remote control. It was invented in order to simplify the management of Smart TV as much as possible.
What TVs are compatible?
First of all, you need to know what year your TV is and whether it has a Smart function. There are different models of remotes suitable for different equipment. For instance:
● Models AN-MR400 and AN-MR300 are for vehicles manufactured since 2012. These are the first "smart" devices.
● AN-MR500 is only compatible with devices manufactured in 2014.
● AN-MR600 is suitable for 2015 and above vehicles.
The remote control does not connect to TVs of other brands. For this purpose, you need to take a universal multi-brand accessory, which will lack the exclusive functions of the Magic Remote.
Rules for connecting the remote control to the TV?
Before use, the remote control must be connected and registered. First, batteries are inserted, which are usually included. After that, the remote control is sent to the TV, the wheel is pressed. If it does not work, the TV must be turned off and on again.
A cursor will be visible on the screen, which moves with the wheel. If the remote control is not used for a long time, the cursor control mode will turn off to reduce power consumption.
If the remote does not respond to your commands, check the batteries first. If they are working, try reconnecting the device. To do this, you need to get closer to the screen and press the wheel to display information about pairing the remote with the TV. In case of problems, you can contact the LG service center.
