Question

How can I display the time on the screen?

Community Answer

If you have an LG TV with the "Magic Remote," the easiest way is to activate the pointer and click the top of the screen. This will display either the input the TV is set to, or the channel it's tuned to. Click on that display and you will then see the time. Keep in mind that ALL digital TV stations send out time information, and the smaller ones may not be accurate or updated for daylight/standard time changes.

How can I access the smart guide if I have no remote?

There might be buttons on the side or back of the TV that you can use. If you have an Android or iOS phone, you can install the LG remote.

Question

If I change the settings in the installation menu and I do an initial setting reset for the TV, will all of the changes go back to default?

Community Answer

This depends on what type of TV you have and what type of settings you are using. Usually, if you don't save, then it will go back to default. So just save your work. This might not be the case for your TV, so check with the TV manual first.

Question

What do I do if I can't access the service menu on my LG TV?

Community Answer

1. Press the menu button repeatedly until it stops responding. 2. Enter code 9876 and press enter or OK, that will bring you into the internal programming of the TV. 3. Go up and/or down with the arrow keys on the remote, you have all kinds of different options that you can use, but you have to know what each option does and what setting number you need to use. If worst come to worst, you can reset your TV and start back from the beginning.
