[LG Sound Bar] - How to Connect the Sound Bar to an LG TV 

Same here. LMK what you find out. I love the system so far, but if I can add additional rear speakers that would be awesome!

Dear customer, please connect the soundbar via HDMI-ARC (best option) or Optical. Make sure to select the correct sound output (All Settings > Sound > Sound Out > Use Wired Speaker > select Optical or HDMI-ARC). If you connect the soundbar via HDMI-ARC, make sure to use the HMDI-ARC port on the TV (it is labeled 'HDMI-ARC') and the HDMI-out port on the soundbar. Also make sure Simplink is enabled on the TV: All Settings General > External Devices > HDMI Settings > enable SIMPLINK (HDMI-CEC). Another setting to try is the setting All Settings > Sound > Advanced Settings > Digital Sound Output, this setting should be on auto, but also try the PCM or Pass Through setting.

Dear Adam Beltran, to get sound from the rear speakers, this also depends on the EQ setting on the sound bar. Please try this: use the EQ button (with the music note icon) on the remote of your sound bar to change the EQ to 'CINEMA'. When 'CINEMA' is selected, the rear speakers should always give sound, regardless of the input source (not all content includes sound on rear speaker channels). For more help, please contact your local LG helpdesk via www.lg.com/common

Dear Jamer Romero, please check the following: - On the TV use the HDMI port labeled 'ARC' - On the sound bar use the the HDMI out (to TV) port For more help, please contact your local LG helpdesk via www.lg.com/common

Have you figured out a fix? I'm having same problem over here

@@keepingitcrypto560 I just connected them through Bluetooth and that’s how the speakers were able to pass sound

​@Leo G does it work only on bluetooth? I have the same issue and I can't get it to work on hdmi. @LG

Dear finsfan86, if your TV has an analog audio output (3.5 mm jack, Scart, or 'Red-White / LR' connectors) you could use an analog-to-Optical converter to connect a sound bar to your TV (for example, something like this: cablematic.com/en/products/analog-to-digital-audio-converter-with-2xrca-to-toslink-and-coax-VD048/).

Dear Sanjay Bhanushali, if your Sony TV supports HDMI-ARC or has an Optical output, the connection of the Sound Bar should work the same. If this does not work, please check the Audio output settings and the HDMI-CEC (Bravia Sync) settings on your Sony TV.
