Magic Remote Control Features (depending on model):
The Magic Remote offers a more advanced and intuitive way to interact with the TV, with buttons for various functions:
- Number Buttons: Used for entering numbers, accessing quick help, and for the "Quick Access" feature (a long press on a number button can launch a specified app or Live TV).

Connectivity:
- HDMI: The TV supports HDMI connections for external devices like Blu-ray players, HD receivers, and gaming consoles. It supports various HDMI audio formats and, for certain models, Ultra HD Deep Colour for clearer pictures. Users are advised to use certified HDMI cables and ensure devices are turned off and unplugged during connection.
- USB: USB ports allow connection of USB storage devices. Some USB hubs may not work, so direct connection to the TV's USB port is recommended. Optimal connection requires USB devices with specific bezel dimensions.
- Antenna/Cable: The TV can connect to a wall antenna socket with an RF cable (75 Ω). A signal splitter can be used for multiple TVs, and a signal amplifier may improve poor image quality.
- Satellite Dish: For models supporting it, the TV can connect to a satellite dish with a satellite RF cable (75 Ω).
- CI Module: For encrypted (pay) digital TV services, a CI module can be inserted into the COMMON INTERFACE slot. Proper insertion is crucial to avoid damage.
- Wired LAN: When connecting via wired LAN, a CAT 7 cable is recommended for optimal performance.
Maintenance Features:
- Battery Replacement: The manual provides instructions for replacing batteries in the Magic Remote Control, specifying the correct battery type (1.5 V AA or AAA) and polarity. It warns against mixing old and new batteries, overheating, and improper disposal.
- Cleaning: The TV should be cleaned gently with a soft/dry cloth after unplugging the power cord. Users are advised not to spray water or other liquids directly onto the TV or use chemicals like glass cleaner, air fresheners, insecticides, lubricants, or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the product or its panel. Care should be taken to prevent liquids or foreign objects from entering gaps around the panel.
- Troubleshooting: The manual includes a troubleshooting section to address common issues such as the remote control not working, no image/sound, sudden TV shutdown, no signal from PC (HDMI), and abnormal display. It offers solutions like checking connections, power settings, and remote control batteries. It also explains normal phenomena like slight flicker on startup or tiny dots on the screen, which are not malfunctions.
- Image Sticking Prevention: To prevent image sticking, users are advised to avoid displaying still images for prolonged periods.
Safety Features:
The manual emphasizes several safety instructions to prevent electric shock, fire, and injury:
- Power Cord Protection: The power cord should be protected from physical or mechanical abuse, and users should grasp the plug when unplugging, not the cord.
- Ventilation: Proper ventilation is crucial, and the TV should not be installed in confined spaces or covered with materials that block airflow.
- Grounding: For TVs with a three-prong grounded AC plug, it must be connected to a three-prong grounded AC outlet to prevent electric shock.
- Outdoor Antenna Grounding: If an outdoor antenna is installed, precautions should be taken to avoid proximity to power lines.
- Liquid and Object Avoidance: The TV should not be exposed to dripping or splashing, and objects filled with liquids should not be placed on or over the apparatus. Metallic or inflammable objects should not be inserted into the product.
- Environmental Precautions: Keep the TV away from direct sunlight, high humidity, heat sources, and flammable objects.
- Moving the TV: When moving the TV, it should be turned off, unplugged, and all cables removed. Larger TVs require multiple people, and care should be taken not to press or stress the front panel.
- Unauthorized Modification: Users are warned against modifying the product without written authorization from LG Electronics, as this can lead to fire, electric shock, or product damage and will void the warranty.
- Children Safety: Children should not be allowed to climb or cling onto the TV to prevent it from falling over.
- Emergency Procedures: In case of product damage, water/substance entry, smoke/odors, or lightning storms, unplug the product immediately and contact customer service.
This manual ensures that users can safely and effectively set up, operate, and maintain their LG LED TV, making the most of its features while adhering to important safety guidelines.
