This guide explains how to pair an LG Sound Bar to an LG TV over Bluetooth and how to enable Bluetooth Surround Sound so you can play audio through the sound bar and the TV speakers together (when supported).
Most Bluetooth connection issues occur when the sound bar is not powered on, not set to the correct input mode, or is not discoverable for pairing. Audio dropouts are commonly caused by distance or wireless interference.
If the sound bar is powered off or set to a different input (such as HDMI or Optical), the TV may not find it in the Bluetooth device list.
Set the sound bar input to BT (Bluetooth) or LG TV (wording may vary by model) using the Function (F) button on the sound bar or its remote.
Bluetooth audio can cut out when the TV and sound bar are too far apart or when there is interference from nearby wireless devices (for example, a Wi‑Fi router or microwave oven).
Move the sound bar closer to the TV and reduce obstacles between them.
1) Turn on the LG Sound Bar.
2) Press the Function (F) button on the sound bar or its remote until the display shows BT (Bluetooth) or LG TV (wording may vary).
3) If the sound bar supports a dedicated pairing mode, keep it in pairing-ready state until the TV finishes searching.
Setting: Settings > Sound > Sound Out
1) On the LG TV remote, press Settings and open All Settings.
2) Select Sound, then select Sound Out.
3) Choose the Bluetooth option and open the Device List (or Bluetooth Device List).
4) Wait while the TV searches for nearby Bluetooth devices.
5) Select your LG Sound Bar model name to complete pairing.
6) If the device list does not update, select Search or Refresh (wording may vary) and try again.
Setting: Settings > Sound > Sound Out
In Sound Out, look for an option such as Bluetooth Surround Sound or Bluetooth Surround Sound + Internal TV Speaker.
Select that option to output audio through both the LG Sound Bar and the TV’s built-in speakers.
If you do not see this option, your TV model or current audio connection method may not support it.
