      • On the magic remote, press home HOME, then select press DEVICE CONNECTOR.

      • From here, the prompt is very easy to follow. Select the device you want to setup from the provided list. If the type of your device is not available, you will need to contact the manufacturer to ask if it supports universal control with LG magic remote.

      • Select corresponding INPUT port, manufacturer, service provided or required information about the device and press NEXT.

      • select your device

      • Now this is the tricky part. These next steps require you to use your remote as a pointer to choose the appropriate ON SCREEN commands. The command buttons displayed on screen will serve as a TEST to confirm your universal control setup.

      • To begin, you will see Remote Type 1 on screen, with 3 command buttons below it, as well as a test window to view the results of each command.

        1. Command buttons include actions such as POWER, PLAY, CH^, NUM 1, or PAUSE.

        2. Point your cursor to the first command button on the screen. Click it. Did the test window correspond to the command?

        3. Now, move the cursor to the next command button on the screen. Click it. Does the test window respond again? And so on.

      • Click NEXT to move forward and confirm your setup.

      • NOTE: Do not press the button on the remote, use the cursor/pointer to press from on the screen.

    4. If the test result does NOT correspond.

      • If the ON SCREEN commands did not work in the test window, then change the remote type.

      • Use your cursor to point to the > right arrow and click it. You will now test Remote Type 2 following the ON SCREEN command buttons beneath.

      • Keep following the process above until you find the remote type that configures your universal control successfully.

    Troubleshooting Tips

    • Try switching to each other input, maybe the ports aren't labeled correctly.

    • Try connecting the HDMI cable into a different Input port, maybe the port is malfunctioning.

    • Try connecting a different device to the TV (or the same device to a different TV), maybe the other devices causing the issue.

    • Try using a different HDMI cable, sometimes cables can short-out, or degrade over time.

    • Some devices may have compatibility issues, such as some of the new 4K Blu-ray Players connected to our 4KTVs. It's possible the HDMI HDCP Handshake may be timing out (rare, but it could happen).

    • Visit our community forum's TV - No Signal Discussion thread for more contributions from our users about this issue.

    Connection Checklist

    2. Pay attention to IN and OUT.

      The cable needs to come OUT of the other device, and IN to the TV. The Input port of the TV will be labeled (HDMI 1, Cable/Antenna, etc.).

      Important: In and Out is an important distinction. A port labeled OUT, will Send a signal, while a port labeled IN will Receive a signal.

        A common issue with using an antenna is that they are so easily moved, and may not find the same channels (even in a slightly different position).

        • Run Auto-Tune.

        • If the channel you want to watch isn't found by auto-tune, add the channel manually.

        • Channel Tuning can differ by TV model, but in general:

          1. Go to Settings

          2. Channels

          3. Channel Tuning
