Use Dolby Atmos FlexConnect to connect your TV or soundbar to wireless speakers without complicated cables.
The built-in microphones automatically detect the location of each speaker and optimize the sound for your space.
Enjoy an immersive, theater-like listening experience right in your home.
How to Prepare for Setup
- Make sure you have at least two M5 speakers or one M7 speaker.
- If you use an H7 soundbar, connect it to your TV with an HDMI cable using the eARC or ARC port.
- Place your speakers and subwoofer at least 30 cm (12 inches) away from your TV or soundbar, and at least 1 m (3.3 feet) away from devices that cause wireless interference, like Wi-Fi routers or microwaves.
- Turn on the microphone on your TV or soundbar to use Room Calibration Pro. (The microphone is used only to measure room acoustics and does not record your voice.)
How to Connect and Set Your Speaker
Step 1. Connect the Power and HDMI Cables
- If you use an H7 soundbar, connect its power cable. Then, connect an HDMI cable to the ARC or eARC port on your TV.
- Connect a power cable to the bottom of each M5 or M7 speaker you want to use, and then turn them on.
- Open Settings on your TV, and then set Audio Output to HDMI ARC or eARC.
Step 2. Connect Your Speakers Using the LG ThinQ App
- Turn on all LG Sound Suite devices you want to connect.
- Slide the Mic switch on the back of your soundbar to turn on the microphone.
- Open the LG ThinQ app on your smartphone, register your devices, and then select Dolby Atmos FlexConnect.
- Tap Edit Group, select the devices you want to connect, and then tap Save.
- Set the distance between your soundbar and your main listening position, and then tap Next.
- When the connection is complete, the status light bar on your speaker turns solid white.
Step 3. Connect Your Speakers Using the LG TV Settings Menu
- Turn on your TV and all LG Sound Suite devices you want to connect. Make sure your TV microphone is also turned on.
- To set up a speaker, press the Input button on the speaker repeatedly until the status light bar turns solid white.
- After a moment, the status light bar blinks white for up to 30 minutes. If it does not blink, press and hold the Input button for more than 2 seconds.
- To set up your subwoofer, make sure its status light is blinking white. If it is not blinking, briefly press the button on your subwoofer.
- Press the Settings button on your remote control, and then select Sound Out.
