So the optical cable that it comes with can not be used to connect the tv to the main unit? I thought pairing it with an LG tv would be wireless.

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

It does not have bluetooth to connect to wireless speakers You should consider a sound bar which connects to the TV with an optical cable. LG has one on sale at Best Buy for 149.99. I own an older version of that and it's awesome for what you pay. As far as the TV is concerned...the sound is surprisingly good without any enhancement.

The unit does have one optical input. I would suggest, if your TV supports it, running the cable box to the TV and using the optical out of the TV. However, you could run the optical out of the cable box directly to this unit.

If the LG TV has the option of optical it will definitely work yes. Very good cables. I've had them a bit over a month now and am very pleased...

I purchased a wireless bridge but I was not able to make it work. I don't believe it was the fault of the unit, I just couldn't get the bridge to receive a signal from my router. I achieved what I wanted by purchasing a Roku so I returned the bridge. I will try again when I get more time. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

You will have to connect the optical cable from the TV to your home theater receiver. Once this is done then you have to select the TV source on your home theater system to get sound through the TV. That is how I was able to get it to work for me. Hope this helps.

If you mean connecting to the TV via bluetooth, no I dont. I´ve always used the fiber optic cable.

It got to be LG brand. The USB wireless drive has its firmware built-in and its compatible with some certain models LG brand only. I've got LG LED-TV model LE5400 and had tried with some different USB wireless brands like Linksys and Netgear which I have around the house (and borrowing from a friend =), but they were not recognized with my TV. That gave me no other choices but to get LG AN-WF100 wireless, and it works. Its a bit of a pain to pay for a 50 bucks wireless adaptor too expensive comparing to other brands.

You have to hook up an optical cable from the TV to the soundbar, then it will work when you put the soundbar in the optical mode

There is an optical output in the TV , the optical input from sound bar should be connected to the optical output of the TV. I am not sure if this will work with other TV. I think if there is an optical output, it may work.

I bought a Yamaha sound bar that only connects to my TV. On the back of it is the place to connect the TV to the soundbar. The TV said Digital sound and the Yamaha only has optical sound I had to get the extra cord to make the connection work properly. Apparently this is very common with many electronic devices. The cables are much more expensive at local retailers.

Thank You both so much!!! I FINALLY figured it out. I had to plug the wireless grey box into the BACK of the TV and not into the connection panel on the front of the tv. Geez! For non tech savvy people like myself, the company could be a bit more detailed about where to plug it into on a tv. Like most big screen tv's, there are quite a few places on both front and back to plug into. Thanks again for your input!

I have the LG wireless media kit, LG42LV4400 tv & LG soundbar. How do i connect these thru the media kit wirelessly? The manual says use a hdmi cable from tv to media box. I need assistance on hooking these up.

Make sure the wifi thumb drive thing is plugged into the port in back of TV. LG call center is very good about walking you through set up.

I have my TV connected to the Soundbar via optical as well and it works fine. I had to buy the cable separately though. I would think that HDMI is all you need since the Soundbar acts as an HDMI hub.

It's all hard wires to this unit. Buy a set of sound bar. It works with the sound bar via optical cable.
