    Do you have a little receiver stuck to the back of the tv connected by a USB cable?

    BPH think you need to check the box or inside the remote itself for a small usb dongle that you will then plug into the TV. Sometimes it is store in a slot were the batteries go.

    Maybe the current ones don't need a separate dongle.
    If you go to the settings menu, theres a section about remote devices.


    In the meantime, download the lg remote app. Very handy.

    I can't go I to any option on the TV, I can scroll but the enter button doesn't work. I can't go into any option, this enter button is part of registering the magic remote to the TV (me thinks)

    As I said mine is 2 years old so maybe things have changed, but I got a regular remote in the tv box, and then the magic remote, USB lead and dongle in a separate box.

    Does the instructions with the to make any reference to the smart remote, or just a regular old fashioned one?


    What model number is the tv?
