Will my 42 lnch LD4 series tv connect to a sound bar

1. if you have something else that you can test the optical wire on. do that first. dvd player etc... if the test item works, it's the sound bar (or a setting in the sound bar.)

2. check the audio settings on your t.v. make sure it's set to output to optical.

3. replace the wire.

if none of these solve the problem, the t.v.'s optical output may be bad.

got same problem the LG sound plate works with bluetoth mode but don't not detect the pioneer tv set..

Try just using the optical cable alone. connecting the HDMI and the optical cables at the same time might be confusing the TV.

Buy a digital optical cable and plug it in the audio output of the TV and into the audio input on the sound bar. If there is no digital input you can run it with a RCA cable (3 cable red, white, yellow) or just simply an HDMI cable.

Hello,
There are a couple ways you can do this.
1-You can take your audio output from the tv and connect it to input 1 on the sound bar. This is what I would recommend.
2-You can unplug the audio portion from the tv and connect it to the sound bar, thus only sending video to the tv and the audio from your source directly to the sound bar.
Good Luck

I have questions about sound bars myself so just today I call LG about My 42LD450. The first thing the agent said was to not get the Vizio, he said that the 42 just will not work with the Vizio.....just a lil tidbit of info ......

Connect the audio out RCA jacks (white and red) on the TV to the white and red RCA input jacks on the sound bar for analog stereo sound or connect the black digital audio output jack (typically optical) on the TV rear panel to the sound bar's optical digital audio input jack for surround sound. Use an optical cable. There may be some user settings on the TV for audio.

The screen does not work properly .Ribbon wire fails.
