After connecting a set-top box to your LG projector, you can set up the Magic Remote as a universal remote. This allows you to control both the projector and the connected device with a single remote.
Most devices are detected and set up automatically when connected to an HDMI port. If your device is not detected automatically, you can set it up manually from the Settings menu.
Additional user settings may be required after Universal Control is set up.
Universal Control setup may take a few seconds to complete.
On some models, you must switch to the input of the connected device before Universal Control setup begins.
Automatic Universal Control setup (Auto Device Connection) may not be supported for some connected devices.
