Is the system able to learn to be controlled by an LG Smart TV remote? (I don't want to have to use a separate remote control for the audio.)

Yes, once U hookup the HDMI cable & set all the options, volumes, & settings then just turn your LG smart TV on. Never have to do anyting else to it .

I'm not sure. I have the optical hook up to a Samsung smart TV and Sony blue ray, so I don't know but it might be if I have the HDMI, it might. I know it does with my TV and blue ray

Reading Writer, your parenthetical closing isn't a selling point for everybody if that's what you meant it to be. Just sayin' :-)Agree about the remote. I've got a fancy Logitech universal learning remote and name brand stuff (e.g. Bose, Panasonic, Toshiba) and I *still* have to break out a second remote now and then. Not a crisis. I'm old enough to remember when you actually had to get off your butt to adjust the volume or change the channel so maybe others have different perspectives.

Yes, you can. That's exactly what I have. The remote does not work, as others have noted- I have never used the remote so I really don't care. The volume, in my case, was pushing itself up to max after, as though something didn't reset after I disconnected. Easy workaround: pop the the thing from the cradle and immediately reboot it. A minute or so later, you are good. Annoying, perhaps, but the speakers are usable.

Yes Garry from Atlanta. As Icehockey2 says, it is in the setup portion of the tv. You can at anytime go into the tv settings and make the changes. Your remote booklet and quick set up pamplet that came with the TV were all I needed to do mine. Your cable remote will work some stuff and your smart remote will work a few different things until you master your remote smartly as per setup for such in the book. Take your time there is plenty of that.

Yuck... I took all that stuff back a long time ago. I am not satisfied with LG. When I got the TV, the screen was bad. I tried this remote and it just seemed clunky to use. The controls were clunky... I use Sony. Sony is the best. I mean, I tried LG, and I didn't like it. I wouldn't know if it replaces anything. Next time, just go for a Sony TV. I think they are the best.

Yes. Just use the LG code. Depending on your remote, the codes could be different.

Yes there is a small IR sensor on the underside which lets it learn remote functions from other remotes. You can also use that to program 1 function key to do something on some other equipment you don't want to learn the whole function for. Example I have My HTPC controled by the cable box. My Blue Ray on the DVD button and of course the TV under the TV button. But also when in any mode one button is set to turn on the sound bar.

Don't know because I have not tried to. I use the remote that came with it. I do like this unit very much as it gives a clear understandable speaking sound in bedroom which I bought it for. Better than more expensive unit on my main tv in great room.

Thanks - One other thing: is there any way to change the remote used on this system? The included one is not very impressive...

Not that I know of. One of my problems with this series of LG TV's (I have the 42" version) is that a lot of the functions are just too much trouble, including the one you mentioned. Closed caption is a another good example. You can't set it to come on automatically when you put the TV on mute, or even have a 1 or 2-step toggle on the remote to turn closed caption off and on. Sorry I couldn't give you a positive "how-to" in answer to your question.

Yes, the remote can turn the volume up and down and control the power. But no, they cannot connect to the Smart TV.

Yes, all Harmony remotes including this one is capable of controlling this device. You may take advantage of the device lookup tool by which you can check if the device(s) can be controlled by Harmony http://support.myharmony.com/en/compatibility

I am not using a smart phone with my LG but from what I have been reading the device has to be miracast compatible. Just enable miracast on your lg and you should be able to control the set from your phone. My daughters husband was able to right away when he came over last week.

Yes, I have a Sony Bravia LCD TV and a Sony Blu-Ray player - all controls work perfectly, they are programmed into the Harmony setup software and website. I used to have a Sony amplifier until I upgraded, but the Harmony remote had all functions auto programmed into it as well. Plus, if you have something that is not in the Harmony database, the remote can learn commands from other remotes. BUT, since you have Sony products, I'm pretty sure ALL Sony products are pre-configured in the Harmony setup software/website.

not sure about codes for LG. You might want to call URC Cust. Svc. at (914) 835-4484 and ask them. Otherwise use learning feature, it works great, I was able to teach mine commands from 5 different remotes.

I can use a regular LG remote, which came with an LG blu-ray player, with my LG smart TV. I can also use the PEEL smart remote app on my Samsung Galaxy tab to control the TV. The Galaxy tab has an IR port and PEEL smart remote turns the tablet into an universal remote. So, my answer is yes, you can use a standard IR remote. I would also suggest to check and make sure the Harmony 680 is compatible with this particular LG TV, which is very likely. Hope my answer was helpful!
