To pair the Manhattan T4-R remote to an LG TV, follow these steps:
1. Insert batteries into the T4-R remote by sliding off the back cover and matching the + and - symbols. 2. Turn on your LG TV. 3. Connect the T4-R to your TV using an HDMI input and turn on the wall socket to power it. 4. If the TV does not automatically switch to the HDMI input, use the TV remote to manually select the correct input (look for a button labelled AV, SOURCE, or INPUT). 5. Follow the on-screen setup instructions for the T4-R. 6. To control the TV with the T4-R remote, use the learning function: - Put the T4 in standby mode to prevent interference. - Place the T4 and LG TV remotes facing each other on a flat surface, slightly apart. - Use the learning steps to teach each button. - Test each button after programming. - If a button does not work, repeat the learning step for that button.
Note: Some LG TVs may use non-standard remote signals and may not be compatible with the T4-R remote.

I’ve trained the TV/AV button on my T4R remote to match the Input button on my LG TV. That was successful. However, I can only select the input choice by pressing OK on the TV remote. OK on the T4-R doesn’t have any effect. Is there a solution? Thanks.

The OK button on the Manhattan T4-R remote cannot be taught or reprogrammed to control TV functions, including input selection. Only the five highlighted buttons—TV (power), TV/AV (input selection), Volume +, Volume –, and Mute—can be taught to control your TV. To select input on your LG TV, teach the TV/AV button using the learning steps.

The Manhattan T4-R does not support USB media playback, so inserting a USB stick will not provide access to a USB source. The USB port is primarily used for software updates.
