Frequently Asked Questions
LG soundbar shows BT READY but phone cannot find it?
BT READY means the soundbar is already connected to a previously paired device. Hold the Pairing button until BT PAIRING or BT CLEAR appears to force discovery mode.
LG soundbar Bluetooth audio keeps stuttering?
Move the phone closer to the soundbar and away from 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi routers. For reliable high-quality audio, use HDMI ARC or Optical instead of Bluetooth.
LG Sound Sync vs Bluetooth on LG soundbar — what is the difference?
LG Sound Sync uses a dedicated low-latency protocol over the Optical connection or Bluetooth for lip-sync-free audio with automatic volume matching. Use it when both TV and soundbar are LG.
