What is the magic remote control. The incredible capabilities of the LG Magic Motion Remote Control. LG Magic Remote Repair

Using Smart TV on a TV with a conventional classic remote is, to put it mildly, inconvenient. Especially when it comes to typing letters on the virtual keyboard. Many people get out of the situation by connecting a wireless mouse and keyboard to the TV, but LG in its TVs above the budget level took care of us in advance by providing a special additional remote control for Smart TVs - LG Magic Motion Remote Control. If it is not included in the kit, it does not matter, this miracle can be bought separately and, if necessary, a special receiver for it.

This remote is even more comfortable than a mouse! LG Magic Remote technology works wonders! When you hold it, you have a “virtual pointer” in your hand, and the cursor on the TV screen obeys the movements of your hand. At first it is rather unusual to use it, but after 5 minutes of use you get so used to it that then you no longer know how to use Smart TV without it.

The beginning was laid with the AN-MR200 model, now the improved and modified AN-MR400 model is already in use. Let's take a look at earlier models and take a closer look at the current AN-MR400.

AN-MR200

This is the very first Magic Remote, introduced in 2011. Of the functions, there is only cursor control, TV on / off, channel switching and sound control.

AN-MR300

An improved model introduced in 2012. The remote has become larger to make it more comfortable to hold in your hand, and a scroll wheel has also been added, which is also a button, and a button to control the 3D function, if your TV supports it.

AN-MR400

And finally, the current MR400 model, presented in 2013. The remote has become even larger to fit even better in the hand, and a button has been added to activate voice search.

There is one small trick: for the cursor to appear on the screen, you need to shake the remote from side to side.

Cursor control -

It is important to understand that in order to move the cursor, you need to move the brush, not the whole arm. To select something, you need to press directly on the wheel.

Scrolling - Magic Wheel

The scroll wheel is useful for various lists. Although the wheel only spins up and down, it works in both vertical and horizontal lists. It is convenient to use the wheel to scroll through channels in TV viewing mode. Unfortunately, many Smart TV applications do not support the wheel, you have to scroll through the standard tools by pressing the arrow buttons on the screen.

Gesture Control - Magic Pattern Gesture

Just press the wheel and wait a couple of seconds for the gesture control mode to activate. You can draw on the screen a channel number to go to it, a horizontal bar to go to the previous / next channel, and an OK sign to display a list of the last viewed channels and videos.

Voice recognition - Voice Recognition

This is a very interesting and convenient function: just hold down the corresponding button on the remote control and speak! The function supports Russian speech. It is convenient to use when searching so as not to type large text.

Registration in 1 click -

To activate the remote control for the first time, just point it at the TV and press the wheel. That's it, the remote is ready to go! If something went wrong, restart the remote control by holding down the Back and Home buttons for 5 seconds at the same time, a blinking LED will tell you when the remote is ready to work.

LG Magic Motion is a pleasure to use! But a couple of downsides can be noted:

Get ready to buy new batteries of average cost every 1.5 months during normal use of the remote control. This is not to say that this is very common, but still more often than on a regular remote control. When the batteries are running low, the TV will inform you about this.
Tip: when you turned on the movie viewing, move the remote control away so as not to accidentally touch it while watching. The fact is that it works on a radio signal and does not require line-of-sight with the TV. It is very annoying when the TV turns off or goes to the main menu from a movie that you have been looking for for a long time, and the reason is accidental pressing of a button on the remote control.

But the advantages of using Magic Remote override these disadvantages so much that they recede into the background. Below you will find a video describing the functions in Russian 😉

Hey! We all know the technology of the LG company well. This article will focus on 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 have 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 that is designed to control Smart TV functions. The latest model (2015) has already become universal, it has number keys, etc. This means that using 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 weakest point of the remote control, and often breaks down) 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.

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

In fact, the thing is very cool. 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. And as I already wrote, you can perform voice commands. Well, the latest model also replaces the usual remote control for channel control. A 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 such a useful and convenient device, but will the remote control 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.

In principle, 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 last two 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 have not found any specific information on compatibility anywhere.

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 indicates several specific TV models, and in the comments, LG representatives write about compatibility with even more 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 the big question is: Is it so hard to put a list of compatible TVs for each Magic Remote? Is it so difficult 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 separately try to mark 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 has been 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.

The presence of the LG Magic Remote makes it much easier to control the TVs of the same brand.

The advantage when using them is received by the owners of equipment that has, that is, built-in technology that ensures the operation of the TV receiver in the mode.

Typically, these devices are not included with TVs and must be purchased separately.

When choosing, it should be borne in mind that not every remote control is suitable for all models of modern TV sets, and be sure to check the compatibility.

Especially if the TV was released several years ago.

Main features of the device

The device called LG Magic Remote is a multifunctional remote control that allows you to remotely control functions.

The standard device that comes with the TV does not have such features.

Whereas the latest models of Magic Remote have already received so many options and buttons that they can be used as ordinary remotes - to switch channels, change settings and volume.

Although the main feature is to move the cursor across the TV screen, which makes it easy to select and press the desired button or link when working with the TV.

And also - a wheel, capable, like a similar device on a computer mouse, is used to view sites in the process of Internet surfing.

Rice. 1. Old-style Magic Remote.

Need to know: When using the remote control, you do not need to point it at the TV. The signal is reflected from other surfaces and still goes to the TV receiver.

Another interesting feature that makes Magic Remote look no longer like a PC mouse, but rather, is voice search:

the user presses the corresponding button on the remote control;
pronounces a phrase;
the TV reacts to the command and opens the desired channel or skips to the appropriate movie.

The latest models of LG Magic Remote also support gesture control.

For example, by depicting the letter "V" in the air with the help of the remote control, you can go to the video section.

At the same time, the user can independently assign gestures for various actions, further increasing the convenience of controlling the TV.

Remote control selection

Today, in online stores and ordinary retail outlets, you can find 5 main models of the remote control - from AN-MR300 to AN-MR650.

They are all compatible with specific TV models. And the purchase of a device that does not fit your TV receiver may lead to the fact that it will have to be returned.

Although the latest generations of TVs are already sold complete with a compatible remote.

And most models released in 2015-2016 can be controlled using the AN-MR600 and AN-MR650.

Rice. 3. Modern remote control for LG Smart TV.

As a rule, it is not difficult to make a choice in a store - in order not to make a mistake, it is usually enough to consult with the seller.

If the purchase is made on an online resource or the consultant turned out to be incompetent in matters of remotes for, you should clarify the compatibility of the equipment, knowing its model.

This is especially important if you have relatively old TVs at your disposal - for example, those released in 2009, when almost half of such equipment already had a built-in Smart TV function.

Compatibility of devices with TVs

If you need to buy a remote control like LG Magic Remote, you should determine which model will fit your TV.

To do this, you can familiarize yourself with the information provided on the websites of online stores - as a rule, the description of the device also contains information about compatibility.

If your TV model is not on the list, this does not mean that it is impossible to work with it.

You can check compatibility information using a more reliable source - the official website of LG.

Going to the manufacturer's page, you should find your TV model and select the Smart TV tab.

In chapter "Remote control" usually the supported device model is also listed.

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 high-power 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.

How to disassemble and reassemble the LG Magic Remote

Loss of communication with the TV

Another common reason is the loss of communication with the TV receiver - or the lack of correct connection if the remote control is connected for the first time.

After all, before starting work, you should configure both devices. And sometimes reconfiguration, if for some reason the previously configured connection is lost.

You should know: You can disable Magic Remote by holding down the Back and Home keys combination for a few seconds. The result will be the transition of the device to the normal remote control mode - for example, to change channels and adjust the volume.

The problem is solved by doing the following:

Switch on the remote control;
Press down the central wheel button;
Wait a few seconds after the message about the start of the setting appears on the screen.

If the problem was in the lost parameters of connecting the remote control to the TV, after a while a message about successful registration will appear.

After that, you can continue to use Magic Remote as usual.

Alternative options for working with Smart TV

If the LG Magic Remote stops working, and the reason is quite serious in order to cope with it on your own, you can use an alternative method before restoring it to work (or buying a new one).

Anyone operating on version 4.2 and higher is capable of replacing the TV remote control with Smart TV technology.

To do this, download and install the LG TV REMOTE application on the gadget and get almost the same capabilities as when using the Magic Remote.

Rice. 5. LG TV REMOTE app.

conclusions

In fact, the use of such a model allows you to control the TV much more conveniently compared to a conventional remote control, mouse and even keyboard.

After all, besides the fact that with the help of the LG Magic Remote, you can easily type text. And the presence of voice control provides even more functionality.

Although, like other services that use voice, the system may not always recognize commands correctly - you can avoid this by speaking the text slowly and clearly.

And you also have to practice to control the TV using gestures.

However, after the user gets used to using the capabilities of Magic Remout, he can hardly even imagine how it is possible to use LG TVs without this convenient gadget.
