[LG TV HDMI Connection] I want to connect a sound bar to the TV with an optical digital cable, Bluetooth, or HDMI cable. (webOS 3.0)

Troubleshooting

If you are using an LG soundbar, it is advised to use an optical digital cable to connect it to your TV.
If you want to connect your TV and the soundbar via Bluetooth (wirelessly), please check if your TV supports LG SoundSync.
Only TVs supporting LG SoundSync can be connected to LG soundbars via Bluetooth (wirelessly).
For models before 2016, please enter Advanced Settings to pair your soundbar with the TV.
