I am having a tough time getting the speakers to work. I have an LG 50" . Do I need to turn off the sound from my TV to get the speakers to work .??

Hope you don't think I am being a wiseass, but are the blue lights on your soundbar on? Our first mistake was thinking that the green power light was "on". If the blue lights are not on, that is probably your problem. Next was the source. We use our bar on source 2, (there will be two blue lights on). The directions are poorly written, so we called the tech support number in the instructions. I recommend you do the same. The guy will walk you through syncing the remotes, and any other questions you may have. You will definitely want to sync this to your main remote. Hope this helps.

Check your TV to see if it has optical output. If it does, then hook up the optical cable to it. Note: some of the sound will NOT process by this model (like XBOX games, or sounds has DTS). In that case you have to use RCA cable to hook up from your TV to this sound bar. I also found an issue with this model is that, when the sound bar is on, it will mess up my wireless connection to my laptop.

Try turing speaker off. And check connections.Be careful not to let it take over your wireless device can take over your routed.ect

I'm sorry I can't help. The best thing is to go to the website of LG and ask their Sound Bar.

I had the exact same problem with this tv. I eventually just muted the TV speakers and ran the sound exclusively through some external speakers that I have. That solved my problem.

jmaze, would need a bit more info in order to be of help, most likly your tv speakers are not turned off and are fighting with the yamaha. I would suggest that you check all settings on the TV and on the yamaha. if still no luck, try calling cox and/or yamaha, both should walk you through the set up, good luck. dj

I have the same problem. I assumed it was caused by running the sound through a receiver. Does it do it using the tv speakers? I would like know too.

Since I don't use the TV speakers since I use a Bose surround system. I never could get the TV speakers to sound quite right. I do use Vivid picture mode and adjust.

Hi i just bought this tv and loved it until I turned down the volume and had the same problem. I am returning it unfortunately but for the price it is a steal :-)

Hi Notorious A.G.A, Did you succeed receiving sound from TV to external speakers using an optical cable? It doesn't seem to work for me. I'm using "External Speakers" setting in the TV with the receiver powered on. I hear nothing.

Did you change the speaker setting on the TV? If I don't change the setting to External Speakers, the sound will come thru the tc and the the home theater system.

Speakers are terrible, tinny sounding and not loud. Sound seems to come out the bottom of TV. I plugged a small pair of computer speakers into the headphone jack and they sound good. I just have to manually turn them off (they have an on/off switch on them) when I turn off tv.

My center Bose speaker is just hooked up to my surround sound amplifier. I have the built-in TV speakers turned off. Also, I find many programs easier to understand with the center volume turned up a bit.

I do not have that problem on my system. You do have to change the setting on the receiver with the remote to match the HDMI input you selected. If your doing that and your not getting sound and your speaker setting is correct then you might have a problem with the HDMI ports.

Yes, I have the exact same problem. We just took the sound bar off. The TV's speakers are fine. I hate that it is a waste, though.

Usually, plugging something into the headphone jack turns off the speakers. Would make much sense otherwise, right? Test it on your TV with any mini-jack headphones/earbuds.

There are audio settings in the menu, I was able to play with those and get good volume. The TV is at another location so I can't help you with specifics now.

Which speakers aren't working? You may need to adjust the volume of the rear speakers. Also try changing the sound mode using the remote. The back speakers wont always produce sound in every setting. Also if you are not watching something that is coded for surround sound the rear speakers may not work. I had to go into settings and turn up my rear speakers and center channel.
