So here's hoping that company reps are reading this thread and can act from there. I would send this on to the manufacturer to inform them of the error, but I would have no idea which company to reach out to, and to be honest, both were 100% unhelpful and massive time-wasters in my solving this mystery. Remote 1 did not seem to do anything during the test - no powering, no input changing, and no UPing - but I went on to apply it anyway, and voila, it did indeed allow my Magic Remote to change the AVR volume. Remote 12 succeeded in power cycling the Denon AVR, but that choice did not actually do what I want: controlling volume. When testing each one, you are offered three choices to test: Power, Input, and Up. Once done, you cycle through a series of choices - the actual codes are hidden behind overly friendly named Remote 1, Remote 2, etc. ![]() First, you designate how you are connecting what type of external device you are connecting to the LG, then how the connection is made, and finally, the brand of the external device. If it can't see the most basic receiver function of power on/off then it cannot see anything else.Ĭlick to expand.Hi, Edwin - it all takes place within LG's Device Connect. Unless you get the receiver to recognize the magic remote (by this I mean the on/off function) I doubt you will ever get the remote to work with the rest of receiver functions such as volume or mute. It looks Ike it works according to the test they have you do but it actually doesn't. Trying to connect directly from the TV to the receiver with the LG app didn't work for anything. After that happens, I get the sound from the TV to the receiver over ARC and can control the receiver volume and mute functions with their magic remote. Turning on the TV, turns on the player which turns on the receiver. For some reason, the LG simplink recognizes the Samsung which recognizes the receiver. I couldn't get any of it to.work with my Yamaha RX-A3060 until I reconnected my Samsung 4K bluray to the system. I'm surprised that you could even get sound from the TV to the receiver over the ARC connection without being able to control both devices from the LG remote. LG's Simplink has a major bug in it, from my reading on the internet, and they won't fix it. This is arguably the most advanced television in the world today - surely I can accomplish this simple task. I don't care about turning the receiver on and off or changing its input all I want to do is control volume! This is frustrating to me, and adding to my confusion, the code-finding process has as its test, Power, Input, and and Up (whatever that is). ![]() Note: To use ARC you must turn on HDMI control in the menu of the receiver, as well as the TV. You should now be able to output the TV audio through your AV receiver. Chose Denon as the brand and found a code that turns the receiver on and offīut when I try the volume or mute keys on the remote, nothing happens. Select 'TV AUDIO' from the input source select buttons on the remote control or the receiver. ![]() Chose Home Theater as the device I wanted to connect.I can also connect via an optical cable and hear clean sound out to my speaker system. I am connected to the receiver via the HDMI ARC and the sound is fine. I am having a heck of a time with a task that should be really easy: tuning my LG 55" OLED television's "Magic Remote" to control the volume on my Denon AVR-S540BT receiver.
