Unless your LG TV has a built in wireless receiver you will need the dongle and plug it into the USB port. The remote will then work thru the plug-in dongle. I also will have to use a dongle to make my Magic Remote work. ![]()
I have a LG 42LN5700 smart tv which I have been using for a couple of weeks. I also ordered a LG AN_MR400 smart remote and it just came. I cannot get it to pair with the TV. I've tried all the buttons and the red light does come on with each button so it is sort of working. On amazon there is some questions/answers that implies it needs a dongle to pair. Is this correct
