not being able to turn on the TV is not surprising nor a problem for me however, not being able to select left and right or up and down while trying to select my app that I want to use is a major problem for me. Although, he has both the optical and ARC connection being used so which one takes precedence or is the audio output set to? What’s so fascinating about the Magic Remote is how its shape has changed and evolved over the years. I was thinking about early universal remotes that had a list of codes, and you had to find the correct one. The magic remote control acts as both a cursor and a remote control that allows you to operate your Smart TV and the external devices connected to it.
Once done, you cycle through a series of choices -- the actual codes are hidden behind overly friendly named Remote 1, Remote 2, etc. A simple point toward your Smart TV moves the cursor around the screen, like a computer mouse, to choose and select what you want to watch. I am having a heck of a time with a task that should be really easy: tuning my LG 55" OLED television's "Magic Remote" to control the volume on my Denon AVR-S540BT receiver. SMH over the poor implementation, but relieved that the solution was relatively simple once I allowed room for the possibility of trying other codes that showed no promise of working.To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.
It has been reported in the Kodi forum that this is better than the buttons that will work using HDMI-CEC, so I think using the Flirc is a better solution than CEC, as least for the Magic Remote. My samsung smart tv has been having issues with the volume control, it gets stuck between level 4-8 and you have to turn of the tv multiple times to get it working again. The Moonstone and Sandstone libraries support both Pointer mode and 5-way modes of LG remote control.Is it possible to pause, rewind and FF live programs (BBC1, ITV, etc) on the LG C2 with a suitably formatted USB powered HDD plugged in to the back of the TV and, if so, how do you do it with the remote? You might have to use the switch source button (it’ll be near the top) before it works on the source you’re viewing. LG went on to embrace a slightly more space-age design with its 2013 iteration, the AN-MR400, with large (and not especially space-saving) buttons emanating from a central browser wheel, and hard, plastic buttons. Remote 12 succeeded in power cycling the Denon AVR, but that choice did not actually do what I want: controlling volume. The remote control is designed for use with 2020 TVs and it will also work with TVs produced since 2017.
I should add, that I don’t use IR in my own case, as I have the Sonos Arc and so use HDMI-CEC to control the volume instead, but it maybe worth a try to see if Sonos are there as a Soundbar manufacturer. The Magic Remote Control also supports voice commands and gestures to allow you convenient access to various Smart TV functions. It did this using motion technology from Hillcrest Labs, a company that also supplied similar tech for Sony’s PlayStation Move controllers. In the bustle of new TVs that emerge every year from big TV brands like Sony, Samsung or LG, it can be easy to overlook some of the finer details, or new changes that are more to do with usability than drastic picture enhancements and Dolby Atmos sound. It should work in his since the sound over the ARC connection is working for him regardless of the CEC control.I'm surprised that you could even get sound from the TV to the receiver over the ARC connection without being able to control both devices from the LG remote. The pointer will disappear if you press the up, down, left, or right buttons, and the remote will work as a conventional remote.

Best decision we ever made was having a remote each but every once in a while we have to get the original tv remote out due to it being the only way to adjust some settings. Delivering advanced features like wireless connectivity, stunning images and the freedom of an intuitive remote, all your favourite shows, movies and content now take centre stage. But it’s the 2021 iteration, the AN-MR21GA, that has fully embraced the norm, doing away with the slight bulge around the remote’s waist to achieve a straight-line shape on both sides, and course-correcting from the previous ‘bottom-heavy’ model. While the 12th code did indeed turn the Denon AVR on and off, it was the very first code in the list that changed volume.
