Mainly leaving this info for other folks who are not familiar with how the soundbar connects to TV. After many attempts to connect soundbar to my LG TV, I basically gave up and reached out to LG support. Efforts to reach a knowledgeable and English speaking tech agent were at best very frustrating to the point of wanting to pack the soundbar back up and returning it. LG tech support was horrible especially the “chat” connection. I “spoke” with no less than 4 separate agents all of which were to me not knowledgeable enough to figure out what my problem was getting soundbar to work properly with TV. Downloaded the 50 or so pages of the user manual. It is very detailed but confusing and in my instance, led me the wrong way to connect soundbar. After 2 more phone call to tech support, the problem was resolved. (BTW, all the tech support agents were difficult to understand due to fact they are foreign which is the norm these days)
Here’s how you’re supposed to connect your cable box, tv, and soundbar. HDMI cable out of the cable box into the TV…this was the problem for me. Then connect another HDMI ARC type cable to your TV’s HDMI ARC input/output and connect it to the HDMI ARC input on soundbar. According to user manual, this wasn’t the correct method but it all made sense after I was told to connect cable box cable to tv directly. Previously I had the system working fine with using soundbar HDMI input but every time I shut tv down and turned tv back on, the soundbar would change input back to the HDMI ARC preventing video and audio from reaching tv. Like I said earlier, support agents all missed this incorrect connection. My LG tv was telling the soundbar to change the input from HDMI to HDMI ARC (which we know now is correct input). TV also controlled the the soundbar power on and off…nice feature.
So my system works fine now. My Spectrum cable box, TV, and soundbar all come on and off using my Spectrum remote. The volume also is controlled by the Spectrum remote. My wife couldn’t be happier. The sound function on soundbar is set to CLEAR dialogue which was the whole reason for getting a soundbar. Added bonus was the subwoofer which provides the much needed bass. Subwoofer connects automatically too. No problems.
So if you’re a new to these soundbars, connect the cables as described and you won’t have any problems. I just wish I didn’t need to waste 5 or more hours with tech support to figure this out.

Great Addition to My LG OLED TV in a 10' x 15' TV Room
I bought this highly rated LG S65Q speaker to pair with my 55" LG OLED TV and replace my old SONY sound bar. I was never able to take advantage of the features of the circa 2012 SONY with my new LG OLED TV, and was very impressed with the instant compatibility of the LG Sound Bar with my LG TV. The new sound system was very easy to set up following LG's 2022 updated online instruction manual. far I've not experienced any connectivity problems or sound issues with any of the LG sound bar's controls or components. I'm very pleased with this purchase made on Amazon Prime Day! If you are lucky enough to own an LG OLED TV, you need this LG S65Q sound bar and woofer to get the best audio / video experience possible!
