There is also a row of four small colored buttons – red, green, yellow, and blue which you normally see on many video sources like a Blu-ray player. There is a button labeled Guide which brings up a generic TV guide which you can provide the HU70LA with geographic info to improve it.Īnother convenient button is the Streaming Service button which takes you directly to the HU70LA library of streaming services. To make a selection, it also acts as the Enter button when pressed. In between the four navigation buttons is a scrolling wheel which allows quicker up/down navigation of the menu. To access apps and entertainment you need to press the button that looks like a house which takes you to the projector app menu.įirst, in the middle of the remote is a Microphone button for voice control of the projector or compatible 3 rd Internet of Things (IoT) device via LG ThinQ and/or Google Assistant. The button that looks like a gear takes you to the HU70LA setting menu. While I am not going to cover each button on the remote in detail, I do want to point out a few notable ones. While you may still need to grab the set top box or video player factory remote to access a 3 rd party unit’s setup menu, the Magic Remote has all the buttons needed for day-to-day operation including power, channel, and playback control. The LG Magic remote can control your set top box, or blu-ray player, etc, including powering it on, and off. Most are there to control the projector’s internal TV tuner or a connected third-party source. While the remote has the traditional 4-way arrow buttons it is much fast to navigate the menu using gyro controlĪs I mentioned earlier the LG Magic Remote, like most remotes has lots of buttons. The gyro aspects kick in when you flick your wrist to the (left or right) which puts the remote’s cursor up on the screen. The remote itself, is about six inches long, slightly tapered and deeper at the bottom. The internal gyro creates a faster, more precise remote-control system than traditional remotes that rely on arrow keys or a joystick for navigation. While the HU70LA remote is packed with buttons, most adjustments are done with just the flick of your wrist utilizing the gyro mouse technology. LG’s been utilizing versions of a Magic Remote on their TV’s and FPJ models for years and the LG remote is a gyro type device. The HDMI #2 input also supports e-ARC allows the transfer of uncompressed multi-channel audio for the highest sound quality for the HU70LA’s built-in streaming apps. There are two HDMI inputs that are 18Gbps/HDCP 2.2 compatible and allows playback of HDR content. The HU70LA also has a single USB-C port which can be used to playback content from a USB drive but can also display content from a PC/laptop or smartphone via their USB-C output terminal. It can also be used to connect USB accessories like a mouse, keyboard, or game controller. There are two USB-B 2.0 ports which can be used to playback music and video content from a USB drive. Note: the HU70LA also has a Bluetooth transmitter so you can wirelessly connect the projector to a pair of Bluetooth audio device or set of Bluetooth headphones. Next is a headphone port which could be useful for viewing late at night without disturbing others. While the best way to connect a 4K display to a STB is via HDMI, this input is still great for those customers who want to connect the HU70LA to an external antenna and utilize the unit’s built-in digital TV tuner to receive over the air local TV channels. The section below contains a coaxial antenna port which can be connected to a cable /satellite Set Top Box (STB). Next to the power input is an IR receiver, optical digital audio output, and a LAN port. While using an external power supply does reduce the size of the chassis, the power supply is rather bulky so I would have preferred if it had been built in. To reduce the HU70LA overall size and weight to its absolute minimum, the projector utilizes an external power supply. Starting from the top section on the left is a DC input port where you plug in the unit’s external power supply. The inputs and connections are all located on the rear of the HU70LA.
