There are numerous ways to adjust the volume on an LG TV without a remote. The easiest way is to press the Vol+ (or) Vol- buttons on the TV panel. If your LG TV doesn’t have physical buttons, use the LG ThinQ remote app to adjust the volume from your smartphone. This article illustrates all the possible methods to turn up or down the volume on an LG TV without a remote.
Use Physical Buttons to Change the Volume on LG Smart TV
LG TVs normally have physical buttons that can be used in emergencies. They have dedicated buttons for power, volume, channel, and menu. So, you can turn up or down the volume and even change the input on LG TV using those buttons.
For most TVs, the volume buttons will be located on the TV’s rear bottom right. If you can’t find it there, it will be located underneath the LG logo. Once found, press the Vol+ or Vol- buttons to increase or decrease the TV volume.
Use the LG ThinQ App to Adjust the Volume on LG TV
LG ThinQ lets you control ThinQ-powered smart home appliances, including Smart TVs, using a smartphone. To use this app, connect the LG TV to WiFi, which should be the same as your phone or tablet.
1. Install the LG ThinQ app on your Android or iPhone.
- Android: Play Store
- iOS: App Store
2. Open the LG ThinQ app and click Sign in with LG to continue.
3. Sign in to your LG account, which should be the same as your LG TV.
- If you don’t have an account, tap Create Account.
- Read and accept all the terms and conditions. Input the email address and password, and tap OK.
- Check your email to verify your account. Check the Junk/Spam folder if you don’t find the message in your inbox.
4. On the home screen, tap Add a device and click Select Device.
5. Choose TV from the options and select your LG Smart TV name.
6. Enter the code displayed on the TV screen. Your TV will be added to the app’s home screen. Select the Remote Control.
7. Press the Volume icons to change the volume on your LG TV without a remote.
Use Third-Party Remote Apps to Change Volume on LG TV
Besides official remote apps, there are hundreds of third-party remote apps for LG TVs in the Play Store and App Store. As discussed earlier, the remote apps will work if both devices share an identical Wi-Fi network. If you don’t have WiFi, use the IR blaster remote app to adjust the LG TV volume.
