Just happened to stumble across this at my local Walmart. It was the last one and on clearance for $85!! Haven't set it up yet. While it doesn't have Atmos etc... for my set up optical with DTS should sound amazing for the price!! Thanks for the video 🙌🙌

I know this is more than a year old, but i appreciate your video... It helps me a lot setting up my friend's sandbar. Thank you.

[@yonieel_]

If your small speakers aren’t working there’s a tiny reset button behind on your Standby/Link box. Reset it and done, also no need to disconnect the rest if the sound already works except for the smaller speakers.

[@Santi_Disaster]

That’s a good idea too but incase that doesn’t work just go to the remote and click sound effect on remote while playing music or whatever

One question, I have an LG-SN4R 4.1 (wireless rear spakers) connected to an LG UK7550PLA TV connected via bluetooth. Both the TV and the soundbar have DTS virtual X as a surround standard. However, the standard for Netflix and Amazon Prime is Dolby. So, in this situation, how do I configure my sound bar to make the most of the 5.1 sound from streaming services? Thanks.

So I recommend anyone wanting this for movies on Netflix or any streaming site DO NOT BUY IT. Bluetooth for music it sounds amazing, insanely loud. Any type of streaming site it is EXTREMELY quiet at MAX volume. Very disappointed with this soundbar setup(will be returning it). My older LG NB3530A soundbar/sub is way louder with anything playing and it is a stereo setup. Again, I would not recommend this setup. It most definitely does not push 420 watts when playing movies through Netflix or Hulu.

The subwoofer does not need wire to be connected to the soundbar to work. It connects wirelessly.

[@floydmayweather5469]

HiTechKing so where does it get it’s power from?

[@cassidyscreationstx5189]

The sub plugs into an outlet and nothing more. Then the bar plugs into an outlet and the back of the TV via optical cord. Then there is a receiver that is plugged into an outlet against my back wall, and from there(receiver) , the speaker wires run along the base boards to the rear speakers. Works great for my room's layout. I didn't want to run wires from soundbar under a rug or along the ceiling/around door frames etc.
