Why doesn't this thing work with my LG TV? I have turned the TV speakers to "off" as the the manual says. Nada. Any other suggestions?

It works on my LG. I would make sure it is plugged all the way in. Mine was making a buzzing sound and it wasnt plugged all the way in

All i did was buy a digital optical cable, connect it to the output on the back of my tv, connect the power lo this device, put the little switch on the device to SPDIF instead on COAX (since im using digital optical) (its on the side), then i connected the red and black analog cables from this device to my amp.

If you have the TV also hooked up to a Sound Bar like the Sony HT-CT100, the soundbar may be turning off the optical audio output from the TV. This Sony soundbar turns off the tv audio output via the HDMI control.

In reading the review for a new LG HDTV (37") it says that in order for external speakers to be hooked up to that TV, a fiber optical cable is needed. Is this the type he might be referring to? What is the correction to the problem with them falling out, I really don't understand it? Wouldn't it be better to just buy the cheapest ones that still fit correctly? (Sorry, I need to get answers to all of these before making the BIG purchase!)

I remember having that issue when I first hooked mine up as well. I think the source for your audio on the TV is messed up. Make sure you have audio coming out of the TV and not through a receiver or make sure the receiver will play the audio. I have to turn off my TV speakers in order for the audio to play tthrough an external source.

Unfortunately, I could not get the sony's to work either, and I sent thm back. I am sure this is not what you want it to hear but that was my experience with them. I ended up ordering the LG set which works fine.

Try turning the volume up on the TV. Sometimes these devices are a volume magnifier. I have a Royal and it has plenty of volume so if that doesn't work the unit may be defective.

I have the same problem. I assumed it was caused by running the sound through a receiver. Does it do it using the tv speakers? I would like know too.

Sorry to say, I am not at all familiar with the technical aspects of how this connects to the TV. I had folks helping me with the hookup. I do know that turning off the TV does not turn off the soundbar...that has to be done with its own remote...the Sound bar takes over the TV's sound. Note that we did have to adjust the TV sound and then the Soundbar sound and then it sounds great. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Sorry to say as I did you own an LG piece of junk. But I did get the factory to send me a new one after much complaining. Don't know how long this one will last ...but I haven't heard many good things about them. GOOD LUCK!!

I have the same issue and you have to call LG customer service to report it. There is no fix presently, but if they get enough complaints, they will either offer a hardware or firmware fix sometime soon. They will most likely send a technician to your house to verify the problem but the TV has a 1 year warranty so it is all free. I actually elaborated on this same problem in my review: http://www.amazon.com/review/R3NQIA99ZK5WYS/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm

On our LG TV, I have to set the TV audio out to LG optical out and it works fine. The generic optical out gives only noise/static.

I received my LG remote control which was specific to the model number of the TV I have. It works perfectly. It is a 'replacement' remote, not an 'original' one which was a distinction made by the company who listed itself as LG. It was also necessary to use my TV model number to find the correct remote. Good luck to the rest of you.

Hi Jennifer, Have you had any luck yet with your receiver? The Amazon web page asked me to reply. If you've fixed your problem then ignore my ramblings. So a few questions first off. Did the receiver work before and then just stop? Did you add new components or change any of your settings? Check those first. :) Maybe try to connect your devices directly to the tv to see if they still work. Good luck

Two things: 1. Make sure that the TV option for sound is set to the internal speakers, otherwise it will direct the sound signal to the mini-plug sound output jack on the back of the set (this is used to send the signal to another amplifier to drive external speakers). 2. Make sure that any routing of the HDMI signal to and from other devices is arranged properly (i.e. devices-&gt;inputs of receiver and Input to TV is from the TV-out hdmi port)

The unit came with a 3.5 mm Jack. If your TV has a recept for this jack plugging into it probably disables the TV speakers. It did on my set.

Yes same problem here exactly, contacted LG only to find out same thing you said. Bought mine in October 2009 and last month it stopped reading discs, any disc. POS is what this unit is. LG thank you for opening my eyes and I will never buy another product with anything LG stamped on it.

I have no experience with dealing with surround sound systems, but I would suggest making sure the connections are not loose and double check the criteria for connecting your yamaha to tv per the yamaha manual. I would imagine if there is sound from your tv with out it being hooked up to your yamaha and once you connect it and set it for surround sound then its a problem somewhere in the connection or setting with the yamaha. I wish I could give you a better answer but I don't have a surround sound connected to my LG TV and never played around with sound systems, A quick Google or visiting the site for either device in FAQ might also help sorry man.

I have the same question. It says for TV so why can't you hear the tv through the Bluetooth speaker? Not tech savie so what do you mean a speaker and dongle that supports it? Isn't there one that works with any Bluetooth speaker and what would that be? Make it more simple to understand . Thanks
