Universal Remote Control Setting
Geneva Andreotti
Direct code entry is another way to connect to your TV or other devices. Unlike auto-programming, this option requires the correct code to be entered for each device. Some devices might have a code sheet on them that you can reference, or you can find device codes by searching online.
A universal remote imitates the signals sent by your original remotes, allowing you to control multiple devices at once. It can turn your devices on and off, scroll through menus and access most of the features found on your original remotes.
I have a lg c2 tv. While watching my roku I keep getting the message Additional Settings have been detected for the currently connected Roku. Do you want to set up Universal Control Settings? How do I get rid of this message?
I called LG support and together we figured it out. I had the lg remote setup to control the Roku. After much searching through the menus we found the setting to not use the lg remote as a universal remote for the Roku. This sounds easier than it was.
I haven't been able to find anything either on here or on the LG community sites, except lots of people complaining about it on Reddit. There's three choices when it pops up - accept, not accept, or block. None of them keep the message from coming back every few minutes.
Only the original Roku stick 3400 mhl version could be controlled via tv remote, no roku since can sorry. If the roku wasn't a stick, and received roku IR commands, and tv had a code for roku, then it would control the roku by IR only.
It would work if the roku you had accepted IR commands which NO roku stick does, they can only be controlled with wifi remote. A roku stick has a hdmi connector built-in, it doesn't have hdmi port for a hdmi cable. Roku Express & Premiere look like a stick but aren't, they accept IR commands and have hdmi port for a hdmi cable.
(I am, though, presuming that it says 3810 rather than 3810X, as there is a whole family of 3810 variants, and it will control them all; certainly the X is the most widespread and plain vanilla variant, I think, so I would expect it to be included).
The Roku stick+ is the 3810, or 3811, suffix doesn't mean a thing. Never heard of 3180? Roku wifi remotes use proprietary wifi-direct signal. If any thing other then the roku remote would control the roku stick+ it would be by IP, the internet, which isn't RF or IR.
As promised, I have raised the issue that I cannot get the Magic Remote to control it to LG support; and my 24-hour response came back that the issue has been escalated within LG, and this will be responded to within 72 hours.
It can't, because the SS+ doesnt have any IR control and doesnt allow incoming CEC, and LG's dont use WiFi Direct for remotes - that pretty much eliminates nearly every avenue of control, aside from network based (such as ECP)
My remote automatically paired with my tv and was never given this option. I thought upgrading to Fios one would allow me to stop having to use the infrared universal remote. Comcast and Cox automatically synced with my Vizo Soundbar. Why is Fios so far behind them?!? Any suggestions would be appreciated!
I'm in a simlar situation where the cable installer, while very helpful overall, setup the remote to the tv but did not setup the remote to my soundbar nor did they mention that I would have any difficulty doing so later. Is there really no other way to program the remote other than to start from scratch? smh
Same problem here. I have a Bose soundbar connected via optical cable. Never received the option when setting up my remote. It would be great if someone posted instructions on how to do this after the fact.
Not sure if you can do it after the fact, but to manually program your remote go to settings, Voice Control, Fios tv Voice Remote, Program Fios TV Voice Remote, Manual setup. You should be able to select your devices there. Dont forget to reboot the box when you are done.
Tried all of above, used manual, put in TV (Samsung and Model number) followed all the prompts, rebooted the Cable Box, but Volume still does not work, stays at 30. Cannot be turned down . Or Mute either. This is a NEW Voice Verizon remote.
After reading countless forums and many youtube videos, the consensus is you need a soundbar with an HDMI port and connect to HDMI port on your TV or remote will not program volume controls. I am sending my brand new soundbar back (2nd one) and purchasing one with an HDMI port. If this does not work, I will repost.
I have a Bose sound bar attached to my TV with an optical cable. I just switched to FiOS TV One with the voice remote. At first I could not get my voice remote paired with the Bose sound bar, but I think it was because I didn't try long enough to find the remote code. Using the voice remote, press the play/pause button and the 0 button simultaneously. When the blue light on the remote begins flashing, let go of the buttons. Follow the instructions on the screen to, "Select a new Audio Device Brand". "Bose" was already an option on the next screen. It took me through a few screens, testing if the TV muted and if the volume changed. At first, the the tv muted, but the volume didn't change. I had to select the option, "No, the volume didn't change", several times until the correct remote code was found. Then, finally, the voice remote controlled everything. Good luck!
However since I upgraded to FiOs 1 upgrade, I've noticed that sometimes when I adjust sound - nothing happens. Then I realize sound bar is not powered on. When I go into settings on the tv, I find it has reverted to tv speakers, I have to manually change it back to hdmi (sound bar) to get FiOs remote to again control sound. If I then power off all turns off , power on all turns on - everything ok. So this problem is transient and not reproducible.
bottom line - it appears that fios1 power/on off is not always powering on/off sound bar. If sound bar is not powered Samsung reverts to tv speakers and fios1 remote no longer controls sound. Any idea why this is happening?
These days, most TVs are hooked up to all sorts of external devices like gaming consoles, streaming services, Blu-ray players, and even set-top boxes. This can make it confusing when you want to turn on the TV or turn off a console - which remote should you be using? You can streamline the process by using just one remote to control your Smart TV and other devices. For instance, you can rely on your Samsung universal remote or Amazon Fire Stick to get the job done.
Samsung TVs available in stores and on our website come with a universal One Remote. The remote can control third-party devices that are connected to the TV via HDMI only. For instance, if a Blu-ray player or Xbox is connected via HDMI, you can point the universal remote at the Blu-ray player to begin controlling its functions!
First, connect an external device (such as a Blu-ray player) to an open HDMI port on your TV, and then turn on the external device. Your TV will automatically recognize the device when connected through HDMI, and will switch the source.
Press the Home button on your TV remote to access the Home Screen. Using the directional pad on the remote, navigate to Source. When the selector is placed over Source, the Source menu will appear.
Third-party remotes, such as Sony PlayStation controllers or an Amazon Fire Stick, can be used to control a Samsung TV as well. You can find the latest TV models on the Samsung Shop that support third-party controllers and remotes.
You can set up your Chromecast Voice Remote to control the volume on your Chromecast instead of your TV, receiver, or soundbar. If you choose this option, you can control the volume in the following ways:
Important: You might experience unexpected results because of a disparity between the Chromecast volume settings and the volume settings on your TV, receiver or soundbar. For example, if you mute your TV with the remote that came with it and then try to change the volume with your voice, your TV will stay muted.
I have 2 Macs, a 16" M1 MAX MacBook Pro and a 13" M1 MacBook Pro that previously worked utilizing Universal Control to control both machines. After updating both to Ventura 13.3 today, Universal control no longer works.
[ I was using universal control between my M1 MacBook Pro and iPad Pro. After I close the screen of MacBook and open again, the universal control was gone. I used to log-out & login my iCloud account to fix it, but this time I'd like to find an easier way. ]
I open System Settings and click my Apple ID at the top left corner. On the bottom of the right pane is Device which lists the devices bounded to my Apple ID. I click the iPad Pro and it will show the information of that device. Nothing to do here, except maybe just clicking the back arrow, and the universal control comes back quietly.
I opened a case with Apple to have this looked at. While discussing with an engineer, we weren't able to correct this. However, he suggested I create a new login on EACH computer, log in with these IDs and connect them to my AppleID. I did this and nothing changed. UC was enabled by default but not working. After a few minutes, I logged back in with my "regular" accounts.
I logged out of iCloud account (Apple ID) on both iPhone and MacBook, logged back into iCloud on MacBook first then did so on my iPhone. After logging back in on iPhone the MacBook then requested my Apple ID password again (notification in settings) to "finish setting up Apple services", also requested phone password. Once this was all done clipboard started working again.
