Is your living room starting to feel like a remote control graveyard? A remote for the cable box, another for the TV, maybe even one for a soundbar? It's a common dilemma! But what if I told you that your trusty Verizon remote could become the master of your entertainment universe, especially when it comes to your sleek LG TV?
Gone are the days of juggling multiple clickers. With a few simple steps, you can program your Verizon Fios remote to control the power, volume, and even the input of your LG television. Let's ditch the remote clutter and streamline your TV experience! Are you ready to take control? Let's dive in!
Understanding Your Verizon Remote: A Quick Overview
Before we begin, it's helpful to understand a bit about your Verizon remote. Verizon Fios remotes are designed to be universal, meaning they can be programmed to control more than just your Fios set-top box. They typically use infrared (IR) signals, which require a clear line of sight to your TV. Different models of Verizon remotes might have slightly varied button layouts, but the core programming principles remain similar.
The most common Verizon remote models are the P265 and P283, and more recently, the Fios TV Voice Remote. While the Voice Remote often pairs automatically with HDMI-connected TVs, for older models or if automatic pairing fails, manual programming is key.

Step 1: Gather Your Essentials and Prepare for Success!
Alright, aspiring remote programmer, let's get ready! Before we start pressing buttons, make sure you have everything you need for a smooth process.
Your Verizon Fios Remote: This is the star of our show! Make sure it has fresh batteries. There's nothing more frustrating than a programming attempt halted by dead batteries!
Your LG TV: Ensure it's plugged in and powered on.
Your Fios Set-Top Box: Make sure it's also powered on and displaying live television. This ensures a proper signal is being received and helps in testing.
A Clear Line of Sight: Your remote needs to "see" your TV's infrared sensor. Remove any obstructions between the remote and your LG TV.
Patience (and maybe a cup of coffee!): While often quick, sometimes finding the right code or waiting for the remote to cycle through codes can take a few moments. A little patience goes a long way here!
Step 2: Choosing Your Programming Method
Verizon offers a couple of primary ways to program your remote. We'll cover the most common and generally easiest methods first.
Tip: Focus on sections most relevant to you.
Method A: The "OK" + "TV" Button Code Search (Most Common)
This method is often the most straightforward and involves a code search. Your Verizon remote has a built-in library of codes.
Sub-Step 2.1: Initiate Programming Mode
Turn on your LG TV and your Fios Set-Top Box.
On your Verizon Fios remote, press and hold the "OK" button and the "TV Power" button simultaneously.
Wait for the red LED light on your remote to blink twice and then stay on. This indicates that the remote is now in programming mode. If it doesn't stay on, release and try again.
Sub-Step 2.2: Enter the LG TV Code
Now, you'll need a 3-digit code for LG TVs. While there can be several, a commonly reported one for LG is 210 or 1320. Try 210 first.
Using the number pad on your remote, enter the 3-digit LG TV code (e.g., 210).
The red LED light should blink twice again and then stay on, confirming the code has been entered.
Sub-Step 2.3: Test the Code
Point the Verizon remote at your LG TV.
Press the "CH +" (Channel Up) button repeatedly, about once every second. Be patient here! Some TVs respond faster than others.
Continue pressing "CH +" until your LG TV turns off. The moment it turns off, immediately stop pressing the "CH +" button. This indicates that the remote has found the correct code.
Press the "TV Power" button on your Verizon remote to turn your LG TV back on.
Test the volume buttons ("VOL +" and "VOL -") and the "Mute" button. If they work, congratulations! You're almost done.
Sub-Step 2.4: Save the Code
If all the tested functions (power, volume, mute) work correctly, press the "OK" button on your Verizon remote to save the programming.
The red LED will blink three times and then turn off, confirming the code has been saved. Your Verizon remote should now control your LG TV!
Method B: Automatic Code Search (Longer Method)
If Method A doesn't yield results or you don't want to bother with specific codes, the automatic code search is your next option. Be aware this method can take several minutes as the remote cycles through many codes.
Sub-Step 2.1: Initiate Programming Mode
QuickTip: Slowing down makes content clearer.
Turn on your LG TV and your Fios Set-Top Box.
On your Verizon Fios remote, press and hold the "OK" button and the "FiOS TV" button simultaneously.
Release both buttons when the red LED on the remote blinks twice and then stays on.
Sub-Step 2.2: Start Automatic Code Search
Point the Verizon remote at your LG TV.
Press and hold the "Play/Pause" button.
The remote will start sending out different TV codes, one every second. The red LED might blink with each code sent.
Keep holding the "Play/Pause" button until your LG TV turns off. The instant your TV turns off, release the "Play/Pause" button. This locks in the correct code.
Sub-Step 2.3: Test and Save
 |
Press the "TV Power" button to turn your LG TV back on.
Test the "VOL +" and "VOL -" buttons, and the "Mute" button.
If they work, press the "OK" button to save the programming. The red LED will blink three times and turn off.
Step 3: Advanced Control & Troubleshooting
Now that you've got the basics down, let's explore some finer points and common issues.
Sub-Heading 3.1: Controlling TV Input/Source
Sometimes, you might want your Verizon remote to change inputs on your LG TV (e.g., from Fios to a gaming console or Blu-ray player).
Initiate Programming Mode: Press and hold OK and FiOS TV until the LED blinks twice and stays on.
Enter Special Code: Press 9-5-5. The LED will blink twice and stay on.
Assign Input Button: Press the AUX button (or another unused device button like DVD if available). The LED will blink three times.
Test: Press the AUX button, then use the Channel Up/Down buttons or number pad to cycle through inputs on your LG TV. If successful, you can now change inputs!
Sub-Heading 3.2: If the First Code Doesn't Work
It's entirely possible the first LG code (like 210) doesn't work for your specific LG TV model. Don't despair!
Tip: Look for examples to make points easier to grasp.
Try other LG codes: Verizon's support website or your remote's manual often list multiple codes for each brand. Other common LG codes include 1320.
Repeat the process: Go back to Step 2, Method A or B, and try the next code on the list.
The "Channel Down" trick: If, after the TV turns off with "CH +", the TV doesn't turn back on with the TV Power button, you can try pressing "CH -" to go back one code at a time until the TV responds correctly. Then, press OK to save.
Sub-Heading 3.3: Resetting Your Verizon Remote
If you've tried everything and are still having trouble, or if your remote is acting erratically, you can reset it to its factory defaults.
Press and hold the "OK" button and the "0" (zero) button simultaneously.
Release both buttons when the red LED blinks twice and stays on.
Enter "9-0-0" using the number pad.
The red LED will blink three times and turn off, indicating the remote has been reset. You will then need to restart the programming process from Step 1.
Step 4: Confirming Full Functionality
After successfully programming, take a moment to confirm that all desired functions are working.
Power On/Off: Does the "TV Power" button turn your LG TV on and off reliably?
Volume Control: Do the "VOL +" and "VOL -" buttons adjust the volume on your LG TV? Does the "Mute" button work?
Input Control (if programmed): If you programmed an input button, does it cycle through the inputs on your LG TV?
Channel Control: Remember that the "CH +" and "CH -" buttons (and the number pad) will typically always control your Fios set-top box, even after programming for your TV. This is by design.
Step 5: Enjoy Your Streamlined Entertainment!
Congratulations! You've successfully programmed your Verizon Fios remote to control your LG TV. Now you can enjoy a clutter-free coffee table and a more integrated entertainment experience. Fewer remotes mean more time enjoying your favorite shows and movies!
