If you have the code for your LG TV, this method is often the quickest and most efficient way to set up your RCA remote. Here’s how to do it:
1. Ensure your LG TV is powered on and point your RCA remote straight to the TV.
2. Now, hold and press the TV button on the remote control until the Red light on the remote flashes.
3. After that, using the number pad on the remote, enter one of the RCA remote codes for LG TVs.
