Remote control problems and solutions

Problems sometimes occur when using Magic Remote for LG TVs. Do not think that their cause is the incompatibility of the device and the TV set.

Sometimes the issue can be resolved much in just a few minutes, without even contacting the service for this.

Although for this you should first figure out whether the reason for the lack of communication between the remote control and the TV is the remote control itself - point the device at the camera of any smartphone.

If you see a red flickering light on the phone screen with the camera turned on when you press any key, the problem is most likely with.

If there is no signal, there is a problem with the remote control.

Battery problems

The easiest way to fix the problem with the remote control is if it is a dead battery. To do this, it is enough to remove the old power supplies and install new ones.

Replacement intervals are reduced by using rechargeable powerful batteries.

In addition, the battery also reduces the likelihood that the battery will leak - such a situation can not only temporarily stop the operation of the remote control, but also completely disable it.

Tip: Before installing new batteries, it is worth checking the old ones on another device - a remote control or a device. If the batteries work (with the correct polarity), then replacing them will not solve the problem with the device.

Other problems

Sometimes, interference from other devices can cause Magic Remote to malfunction.

If the remote control is flooded with liquid, you should immediately remove the batteries and wipe all microcircuits from it. Most likely, power supplies will not be able to be restored.

And the remote control itself, after drying, sometimes starts working as usual.

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

Let's figure it out first, what is LG Magic Remote... This is a proprietary LG remote control, which is designed to control Smart features TV. The latest model (2015), has already become universal, it has numeric keys etc. This means that with the help of this remote you can also switch channels, call settings and so on. The main features of the LG Magic Remote are, of course, the cursor that moves across the TV screen when you move the remote in space (the remote control has a built-in gyroscope)... In this case, the remote control does not have to be pointed at the TV. Also worth noting is the scroll wheel. (judging by the reviews, it is the most weak point remote control, and often breaks) which is very convenient to use when browsing websites on a TV browser. Well, one more feature is voice search... Press the 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.

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

In fact, the thing is very cool. It's a little expensive, of course, but controlling the TV from Smart TV using the LG Magic Remote is very convenient. It replaces the mouse, which is not always convenient to use while lying on the couch, and even the keyboard. It is much more convenient to type text with this remote control than with the usual one. Yes, and as I already wrote, you can perform voice commands... Well, the latest model also replaces the usual remote control for channel control. Universal device, whatever one may say.

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

If you have a TV of the sixth series, or lower, then how then to be. After all, I want to buy something so useful, and convenient device, but will the remote work with my TV model? I want to note right away that if your TV does not have a Smart TV, then you definitely do not need a remote control. There is no sense from him.

Basically, 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 the compatibility. But as for the purchase in online stores, everything is more complicated there.

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

This means that for the AN-MR500 it is written that it works with all models of 2014. And on the page with the AN-MR600 remote control there are several models that are, as it were, exactly supported. There is such a mess that it’s just scary. Moreover, the description contains several specific models TVs, and in the comments, LG representatives write about compatibility with more large quantity 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 main question: Is it so hard to have a list of compatible TVs for each Magic Remote? Is it so hard to specify which models support the remote and which only with an adapter. The most interesting thing is that this information is not even on the LG website. There, as a rule, only a couple of models are indicated (with which the remote control is supplied). 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.

Will the 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 the two Magic Remote controls: AN-MR500, AN-MR600. I think that old models can no longer be considered.

Also, I will try to mark separately the models of TVs, to connect the remote control to which you will need a special AN WF500 receiver.

Please note, the compatibility information has not been verified by me personally. Most likely, this is information from forums, reviews in online stores, etc. Those models that I am sure of compatibility, 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. 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

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 expanding 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 tab Specifications , and click on the item Smart TV... Against "Remote control" most likely the model that the TV supports will be indicated.


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