Remote control for the phone for LG TV: features, installation and use
Modern TVs are getting more and more functions that can facilitate device management. One of them is to control the TV using a mobile phone. He can easily replace your usual remote control, which is constantly lost, while the phone is always nearby.
Let's consider what functionality the remote control for the LG TV is equipped with, and whether it can be considered a full-fledged replacement for this remote control.
Features and functions
The application itself, according to the developer, will be a complete replacement for a real remote control and will help you control an LG TV using a smartphone. Smart TV control is also possible.
In the functions of this application, you can note:
- simple and intuitive interface;
- quick search for necessary channels;
- no unnecessary buttons;
- transfer of images from TV to smartphone;
- high-quality Wi-Fi connection.
On the main screen, there is organically located a large on / off button for the TV, a button for rebooting the remote control (in case of malfunctions), buttons for switching channels and volume sounds, as well as several additional buttons: mute, switch transmission modes, record the screen to the drive, rewind / forward / pause and others.
It should be said that the application is distributed free of charge under the official license of LG TV, there are no paid functions (only advertising is provided).
How to install?
Typically, installation of such software is rarely difficult. Let's take a closer look at this process.
First of all, you you need to go to the Play Market (if you have Android) or the Apple Store (if you have iOS). The application is distributed free of charge under an official license for both operating systems. However, the choice of such programs on Android is wider than, for example, on the iPhone.
Going to the right place, enter "Remote control for LG TV" in the search box, then select the desired option in the search results. Mark the selected option, then click the "Download" button.
After the installation is complete and the program appears on the desktop of your device, you need to enter it, connect to the TV and configure.
The setting is only in pairing the remote control phone and the TV itself... There are often three ways available: Wi-Fi connection (connect to the desired network from both devices, activate the connection), Bluetooth connection (almost the same as Wi-Fi) and LAN connection (the principle is the same).
How to use?
Many, downloading such an application, do not know at all how to use it. We will try to correct this situation.
So, the first time you use the application, you will most likely be asked to log in to it or contact your LG account (if not, start it). After this authorization process, you will need to connect via Wi-Fi / Bluetooth to your TV.
After that, you will be thrown to the main screen, which will look like a regular remote control and have similar functions (switching channels, controlling sound and settings, and so on).
In the upper right corner there will definitely be a large red button designed to turn on / off the TV. And also on the remote you can easily distinguish between the buttons for changing channels, increasing and decreasing the sound level, settings, viewing modes, and the like. To "activate" the button, you need, oddly enough, just press it, the signal is instantly transmitted over the connected channel, and the TV reacts to it.
