LG TV Magic Remote User Guide

The LG Magic TV Remote is the ultimate tool to enhance your entertainment experience on your LG Smart TV. It allows for intuitive pointing and clicking, and can also be used as a standard remote with speech recognition and universal remote functionality. The remote comes with standard 5-way control buttons and physical keys that serve as shortcuts to commonly used functions. It also features a pointer that you can use like a computer mouse to select and run content on your LG Smart TV. Additionally, the remote supports voice commands, making it easy to navigate various features conveniently.
