Brother never use optical ( S/PDIF ) if your tv have eARC or even ARC support which will give you more than what S/PDIF ( optical ) can offer. Also using hdmi which is capable of cec , will help you to power up or off automatically. So if your TV doesnt have eARC/ARC supported hdmi then use S/PDIF ( optical ) connection.

[@RoysWork]

Thanks for the information. I didn’t try it yet. My tv has eARC. I will try it for sure. Thanks again and please like share & Subscribe.

Just out of curiosity, how long are the cords that connect the rear speakers into the larger device that plugs into the wall?

[@RoysWork]

Hi, sorry for late reply. Cant remember the exact size but its 30/35ft may be. Thanks for watching my videos. Please Like Share & Subscribe!!!

Hello Thanks for the video The bass is not that strong Do I need to make any changes to the setup I really do not like the sound quality I had Yamaha ATS 2090 which blew up today (the subwoofer stopped working). The sound Yamaha had was just amazing. This LG soundbar stands no where as compared to Yamaha. Do you also think that the sound quality is not up to the mark Thanks

[@RoysWork]

Thanks for watching the video. I agree with you, this sound bar is not comparable to Yamaha. There is a settings for the soundbar which is accessible using the remote, you can increase subwoofer sound from there. But I don’t think that will satisfy you.

[@harinchandramouli]

I bought this assuming the speakers are wireless and you need to connect the wires all the time to get connected

[@RoysWork]

Rear speakers are not wireless but using the rear kit, you dont need to run the wire through wall from the source. The subwoofer is wireless. The soundbar, you can use Bluetooth but won’t get good sound. Thanks for watching my video. Please like share and subscribe!!!

[@Richard-y7w1g]

Just got this today. It’s OKAY for the price… it was on sale for $200. My issue with it is the subwoofer is not manageable independently… and there is no separate volume setting on the woofer itself to adjust it. My previous set up was with a full receiver and completely wired sound. But it also cost a fortune. I was looking for a less expensive solution and this seems to be okay… I’m still working on the bass situation.

[@Richard-y7w1g]

Also… he’s right about the optical. It took forever for me to get the optical hooked up… glad it wasn’t just me!

[@RoysWork]

Hi, thanks for sharing your experience. There is a settings option for woofer in the remote. Its not direct, so you need to find it out. Thanks for watching my video. Please Like Share & Subscribe!!!

[@Matt-ix6ne]

I was able to get into the sound bar setting on the remote and adjust the woofer up independently. The sub comes set at 0

[@Richard-y7w1g]

@@Matt-ix6ne Yes! I was able to use the app. If you sync the sound bar with the tv, you can’t access the bass independently… at least I didn’t see it. However I was able to address it via the app.

[@Matt-ix6ne]

@@Richard-y7w1g Thanks for the information on the app! I’ll have to download it, the instructions were not very helpful

Hey there, my rear speakers seem to be connected from positive to negatives coreectly. The box its connected to has the constant green light on and if I put the rear speaker to my ear i can hear static so I know its receiving power. But with all that I still don't hear any real noise. Any idea why?

[@RoysWork]

So, looks like all the connections are fine but so sound from rear speakers. 1st, how do you connect the soundbar to source (tv, etc)? I noticed if you use Bluetooth, rear speaker doesn’t work. Use hdmi or optical cable. 2nd try to do power recycle. Completely unplug soundbar and rear speaker kit from power wait for a min and then try. If all these doesn’t work then you may need to connect lg or may replace the item. Thanks for watching my video.

[@ADougsLife112]

Did you ever figure out the problem? I’m having the same thing happen. Even trying to test them off the app no sound comes out

[@brendangorman1182]

Unfortunately no, ended up returning it to Best Buy. I'm not super tech savvy but I'm not terrible. I figured it shouldn't be that difficult

[@OKBAOK]

Is the Bluetooth receiver only? No transmit meaning can I pair my AirPods so that I can listen in my AirPods incase someone is sleeping. Thanks for the unboxing video you did a good job 👍🙂

[@RoysWork]

Hi, no. It doesn’t have transmitter. Its only receives Bluetooth signal. For your problem you can check in amazon for Bluetooth transmitter, you find lots of price starting from $10. Thanks for watching my video, please Like Share & Subscribe!!!

[@bobbythorne7941]

Is this worth the purchase? I’m just curious I’m looking for a soundbar and sub that has great bass

How to connect a small speakers to the bar

[@RoysWork]

Normally you cant connect any additional speakers to this sound system, only the two satellite speakers (comes with this system) can be connected using the rear speaker kit (comes with the system too). No other additional speakers can be connected. Thanks for watching my video.

[@ericrandle4750]

I cannot make the subwoofer work. Do I have to connect the entire system to make the subwoofer work?

[@RoysWork]

No, you need to turn on the soundbar 1st then power on the woofer. It will connect automatically. If its not connected, try unplugging everything and then start with soundbar 1st, then woofer. Thanks for watching my video. Please like, Share and Subscribe!!!

[@ericrandle4750]

@@RoysWorkThe subwoofer does connect and the 'green light' is solid but, there is no sound from the subwoofer.

[@RoysWork]

Test with high volume, also you can increase woofer only volume using remote.

[@ejd_5330]

Just to confirm rear speakers are not wireless?

[@jessinaespinal8206]

Correct

[@RoysWork]

Yes. Rear speakers are connected to the kit which is wireless. So you don’t need to run wires from the soundbar to rear speakers.

[@PeterSchneemann]

Is that not wireless??? 😮😮😮 I thought all modern speaker were wireless

[@RoysWork]

This is not fully wireless. The subwoofer is wireless. These is a rear speaker kit which is wireless but both rear speakers connect to that kit via wire. Thanks for watching my video. Please Like Share & Subscribe!!!

[@raphaelbarton557]

Hi do you know why my I can no longer use the soundbar control to change sound mode thanks and have a great day😊

[@RoysWork]

Hi, i am not sure how you are trying to change the mode, that works only with the remote comes with the soundbar. You won’t be able to do that using tv remote. If tv completely recognize the soundbar, you may be able to change mode from tv sound settings. Thanks for watching my video. Please Like share and subscribe!!!

[@Sumville99]

Hey Roy! I recently bought this exact set but used, it didn’t come with a DC cord 🙃 can you tell me what size you used??

[@RoysWork]

Yeah, i mentioned in the video about this problem, not all standard cable will fit to this device. You can search for “slim optical cable” in amazon. I also search for it and found one. 30M Black Digital Fiber Optical Audio SPDIF TosLink Cable a.co/d/9ekAPmy

[@Sumville99]

I may have misspoke, the power cord for the sound bar, I have an optical cord that fits but can’t seem to find a correct power cord 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@RoysWork]

Hi, sorry. I returned this one and i am using the Samsung soundbar. Sorry can’t help you. May be others can answer to this question.

[@Sumville99]

@@RoysWork no worries, thank you!

[@RoysWork]

Thanks 🙏🏻

[@louieluong9693]

Am I able to put the mini speakers they give us without the wire

[@RoysWork]

Yes. It comes with rear speakers kit. This kit is wirelessly connected to the soundbar. So you put that kit at the back of the room and then connect the mini speakers to that kit using wire. The two mini speakers are not wireless they connect to the kit with wire.

[@harinchandramouli]

You always have to connect them with the wire all the time to the wireless device, you cannot connect them without wire

[@nehal_manzoor]

How to find which is left and which is right

[@RoysWork]

Both the rear speakers are same, but the kit has left and right connecting points. Based on which one is connected to what ever point, you should keep that speaker on that side. Thanks for your question. Please like share and subscribe.

[@chakreshsingh]

What is the magnetic thing for ?

[@RoysWork]

Hi, sorry for late reply. I forgot about that and i had to watch the video to find out. Anyway, i also don’t know what was that for. I didnt find any use of that. Thanks for your comment.

[@backforth5447]

There was empty box in my package, what could it be for?

[@RoysWork]

Its for packaging purposes. Nothing was inside.

[@saviovdsouza]

Does it work in 220 volts

[@RoysWork]

Hmmm, that’s a good question. Sorry, I can’t test it. This is for US, may be they have different model for other countries. Thanks for your comment.
