While setting up your LG TV, the first thing you need to do is program your remote controller. As some remotes don’t come paired with the TV, you have to carry out the programming steps manually. If this is the phase you’re stuck in, then our detailed guide will help you get through this process.
Let’s see how the programming works in the following sections.
