Using through red/white plugs via tv. Listening to Pandora, sound seems really unclear at times. Anyone else having this problem? Any solutions?

The power bar fulfills my needs and then some. I use the speaker(s) playing through my (smart) LG TV. Every app responds well. There's no question that the higher the price the better response. I'm 82 years old and wear hearing aids - I wouldn't suggest either as a remedy.

Hi AB, the sound trouble you are having may mot be a direct result of the set. It could a combination of the settings in the sound menu of the TV & the cable box.Adjust the sound on the TV while playing a music CD through it. Once you have the sound you like, switch to TV and play with the sound menu in the cable box.

same problem... at low volumes with ipod touch 2nd gen. it has a terribly obnoxious static... nothing i do seems to correct the problem. using line in, it sounds great, but that kind of defeats the purpose of the system.

Haven't tried that. I will give it a go today or tomorrow. Get back to me then. So I tested the unit on both program content and commercial content. Both were in the range of 38-40 db. Didn't see any difference in the sound level between them.

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.

Ugh... this is maddening. I recently bought an Olevia 26 inch set which looks terrific but channels are now freezing up on it (just purchased 2 days ago). Thought I'd return it for the Samsung, but now I learn this set has this high-pitched sound problem. Frustrating.

Lucy,I found the source of my hum. I have Direct TV HD. I found that going into the menu settings/Audio/Sound Effects and turning that option off, I was able to rid myself of the annoying hum. The option has something to do with keeping the audio settings from channel to channel, while it is changing you hear dead air except for the hum. Nice and quit now. Love this receiver!Larry

Look for a digital cord in the box and see if you have a digital sound output hole. Ie look on the bottom of your tv for something that says "digital audio out" to connect the digital audio cord from the base to the tv. If you don't have that, look in same area for something that says "audio right" and "audio left" or it might say "audio R" and "audio L" then plug in your yellow and white cord to the connectors and other end of cord goes to your tv ears base. No wires are connected from the tv ears to the base as they are wireless. Hope this helps you out. Look for a digital cord in the box and see if you have a digital sound output hole.

Not sure if this will be any help since you left out any detail on your hardware, but I did have a problem when I hooked up a ROKU box because the ROKU "Settings"->"Audio Mode" default settings were "Surround". There was no soundtrack at this point, only something that sounded like static. So I changed the "Audio Mode" to "Stereo" which worked. From this result I am guessing that the Convertor box can also output digital sound, not just analog but I did not test this assumption as it did not matter for my application. Also the application (Netflix,etc) settings needed changing.

I had the same problem with Samsung apps only playing audio using the tv speakers and not when I connected to my Bose soundmate via optical. I would say it's Samsung not playing well with others.

this issue with pandora is really upsetting. i called and was told radio apps dont belong on a tv yet they already have a radio app. if i could i would return the tv but waited beyond the 30 days. lg still doesnt get customer support!

I plugged it into the left input of subwoofer and connect channel one (out put) of Pioneer VSX-824 5.2-Channel. When I do sound check the subwoofer respond perfectly fine but when I play pandora, airplay with iPhone or DVD, the subwoofer does not make any noise at all. What do I do?

are you using a connecting cable 3.5mm with two out put ends to plug into your aux imput on the back of your receiver? if you really want hi-end playback, get a nuforce dac and use this type of cable or a single 3.5mm connecting cable from mp3 player to a receiver or intergrated amp and the sound quality will blow you away, happy listening:)

I seem to have the same problem. I am not well versed in audio components and assume that that must be normal. I am hopeful someone will have a better answer or can offer a solution.

Are you sure it's the receiver and not the program? I have noticed with watching football games that I get a lot of volume ups and downs from the surround speakers. Sometimes I can hear a fan yell something from the back left and then it's gone. I think it's difficult for the broadcasters, when broadcasting live, to get the surround levels all perfect. I've had less problems with watching a drama show in the evening for example. This, and I think the surround sound with a lot of programming is pretty primitive. I wouldn't worry about it unless your blu-rays also have problems.

The red and white are RCA ports. That is how I have mine hooked up. I tried to use the optical audio port... And it sounded great, but the way things decode(I don't completely understand it) it doesn't work for a lot of audio. The black, I believe, is a mono rca input.
