Issue

It has been reported recently that the LG sound bar, model SK6Y, showed erratic behavior whenever users were streaming from a connected USB device and attempting to change the Sound Effect selection. Changing the Sound Effect either resulted in introducing some random undesired noise in the audio playback or the selection would simply not compute (unresponsive).
