[LG Smart TV Remote Control] How can I set an integrated remote control in a smart TV?

Troubleshooting

Do you want to enable the integrated remote control feature, which allows you to control both the TV and set-top box using just one remote control?

By pairing your set-top box with your AI remote control (Magic remote control) and enabling the integrated remote control function,
you can conveniently operate both the TV and set-top box using a single remote control.
In 2019 WebOS 4.5 or later, when a set-top box is connected to the HDMI port, the integrated remote control is automatically configured.
If it is not configured automatically, you can manually set the integrated remote control in the Settings menu.
You can follow the on-screen instructions to set the integrated remote control.
