AN-MR19BA compatible infrared remote for LG smart TVs
An IR replacement for the LG Magic Remote, without the pointer
LG's original AN-MR19BA is a Magic Remote with a motion pointer and microphone, and this replacement takes a deliberately simpler path: it is an infrared-only unit without the magic mouse or voice functions. Every LG menu, app and setting stays reachable through the directional pad and buttons, which plenty of owners actually prefer over waving a cursor around the screen. The buttons are soft under the thumb and the body is moulded from quality ABS plastic, so the handset holds up to daily lounge room duty. For households that insist on keeping voice search, a different handset is the answer. The trade-off is deliberate simplicity, since fewer radios and sensors mean fewer things that can fail or demand re-pairing over the years.
LG NANO, UM and SM series coverage
The compatibility list is long. It spans the NANO80, NANO81, NANO85, NANO86, NANO90 and NANO91 families in 49, 55, 65, 75 and 86 inch sizes, including specific codes like 55NANO81ANA, 65NANO85UNA, 75NANO90UNA and 86NANO91ANA, and extends to models such as the 70UM7370PUA and 65SM8600PUA. Finding your TV's code on the rear sticker and matching it to the listing is the reliable way to confirm fit. Samsung households can run the same check against the Samsung TV Remote Control BN59-00863A from the same range. Reading the sticker takes less time than scrolling a settings menu, and it is the one method that never misidentifies a model.
No pairing process, just batteries
Because the replacement works over infrared rather than Bluetooth, there is no pairing procedure: the listing confirms no programming or setup is required, and it operates out of the packaging once two AAA batteries go in, sold separately. That sidesteps the registration dance the original Magic Remote requires after battery changes or TV resets. Buyers fixing several televisions at once can add the Bauhn TV Remote Control ATV58UHDW-0421 or the Sony TV Remote Control RMT-TX202P to the same order. Spare AAA cells are the only ongoing consumable, which keeps the running cost of the handset close to zero.

Frequently asked questions
Does this AN-MR19BA replacement have the Magic Remote pointer and voice control?
No. This is an infrared remote control without the magic mouse pointer or voice functions of LG's original. All navigation happens through the directional pad and buttons, and every TV menu and app remains accessible that way. If motion pointing or microphone search is essential to you, this simpler IR unit is not the right pick, but many owners find buttons quicker anyway.
Which LG TV models can this remote operate?
The compatibility list covers LG NANO series sets including 49NANO80UNA, 55NANO81ANA, 65NANO85UNA, 75NANO90UNA and 86NANO91ANA among many others across NANO80 through NANO91, plus models such as the 70UM7370PUA and 65SM8600PUA. Check the model code on the back of your LG television against the full list on the product page to confirm your exact set is included.
Do I need to pair this remote with my LG TV?
No pairing is needed. Unlike the original Magic Remote, which registers with the TV over a wireless link, this replacement transmits standard infrared commands, so it works out of the packaging once batteries are installed. The listing confirms no programming or setup is required. Point it at the TV with a clear line of sight and it responds immediately.
What is the remote made of and what powers it?
The housing is high quality ABS plastic and the listing notes the buttons have a soft feel under the fingers. Power comes from two AAA batteries, which are not included in the package. It arrives brand new, and since IR remotes sip power, a single set of alkaline cells typically lasts many months of normal nightly television use.
