If yout TV has a headphone or 3.5mm output you can plug that into the speaker bar.

Yes, once U hookup the HDMI cable & set all the options, volumes, & settings then just turn your LG smart TV on. Never have to do anyting else to it .

I might be able to help you if you tell me what model LG TV you have; because RCA jacks are universal fit, and if your RCA plugs do not fit into the, perhaps they are not the familiar RCA jacks you think they are.

No. It needs an "optical" cable. This is a good thing as an optical cable is superior to regular ones (they say). One came in the box. The bad thing is that whatever you are hooking it up to has to have an optical cable receptacle, which is common for newer TVs etc. For better compatibility I now advise getting an LG sound bar with an LG TV--Samsung with Samsung, etc. I have the LG sound bar with a Samsung TV and not all of the buttons on the LG remote work. Everything important works: on/off, mute, volume.

what you need to do is get a RCA to headphone jack if your TV have headphone jack. or a optical to audio converter if not the sound will not come out.

Use a mini hdmi to hdmi cable (or mini hdmi to hdmi adapter if you have an hdmi cable). The tv must have an hdmi input.

You will need to buy sound cables, I used Monster Cables, strip the cables and inert the plus to the red clamp and the minus to the black. If you have a receiver do the same there. If you are going direct to your TV, you will have to figure what kind of hook-up you will need.

What cable are you using to go to from the unit to your tv, if RCA is it in the output on your tv, maybe try and changing your tv audio output settings

According to lg.com/us/tvs/lg-42ln5200-led-tv there is not an optical audio out port.

I would call LG tech support. I have not had any issues with my TV, but then again, I have not hooked it up the same way

Some TV's have an optical output, some have Stereo RCA (Red/White) outputs and some TV's have a 3.5mm plug (headphone jack). I personally haven't seen/heard of a TV that has bluetooth (or would stream its audio output through bluetooth) and the LG Soundbar only connects wirelessly through Bluetooth. If your TV has optical output then you can use the optical cable

1 RCA analog Video but no L/R analog Audio, 1 coaxial digital audio for home receivers/amplifiers, 1 HDMI for digital Video and Audio. If your TV does not have an HDMI connector, a low-cost HDMI to RCA analog L/R Audio converter can be purchased.

Use a good hdmi And make sure you adjust the settings via our cable or satellite provider. Otherwise lg has a special tech support line for your tv you can always call them and troubleshoot the problem

If your TV has the red & white (right & left) plugs that say something like "audio OUT", then you'll be able to hook it up. That's how I have mine hooked up to a new 60" flat-screen that didn't have optical out.

They use speaker wire, not RCA cables, to connect to an audio source. Few TVs have output for external speakers, so your TV will need to be hooked up to an audio receiver, with RCA cables, then you're going to hook up the speakers to the audio receiver with speaker wire.

Into the headphone jack on the tv.If the tv doesnt have that then you have to purchase an adapter from the 8th inch to a red and white RCA cable.
