Sounbar LG LAS655K with TV Thomson 40FB5416 - trouble with connection

Question

Hello.
I have a problem with connecting the LG sounbar to the Thomson tv, namely the problem is that there is no optical output on the tv. Attempting to connect via arc padel ... i.e. no sound on the speakers with the tv All I can do is enter the sounbar menu on tv.

Does anyone have any idea how to connect this to make it work?

Polon_us · Answer

According to the description, the TV has a coaxial digital audio output, the so-called "electric". Described on the TV as S / PDIF.
To connect them to the optical input on the soundbar, a colleague needs a converter, such as in the photo below. No hassle to buy.

Please pay attention to the description of the converter sockets -> Coax IN -> Opt OUT

Just out of curiosity ...

- the T-Link function on the TV has been enabled?
- suitable HDMI cable? Meets HDMI1.4a standard or better?

So exactly all the necessary functions have been switched on and the new 1.4 cable is just right. Today I was also in a store where they had the same tv and lg soundbar and it turned out that he was also unable to pair it via hdmi arc. Not much of that, I called thomson and they said it must work. He advised me to download updates from thomson's website because there were already problems with connecting soundbars ... and how much can such a converter cost?

Google not working? Heh, for example please see auction # 6572776195 on Allegro.

Thanks for the help. I found out what I wanted ... but it still thrills me that it is impossible to connect as it should be via hdmi arc! Does anyone know why THOMSON doesn't want to pair with sounbar lg via hdmi ???

So what about that? So it used to be ok and it worked? Reset tv and try setup again. Can the soundbar also be reset? - if so, do it.

goomen · Answer

for me it did not work yet because I just bought the lg. On Thomson's hotline they said that it was like that for someone

What about my other questions?

goomen · Answer

There was a reset of both ..... still crap !!! I updated the software from thomson and nothing !!!! THOMson is shit with function no function !!!!! The only option is as a colleague wrote at the beginning, i.e. a converter with coaxial optics ....... i.e. loss of signal quality !!!!

KOCUREK1970 · Answer

What a loss again? - there will be no loss, it's just another form of audio signal transmission. And with coaxial -> OPTICS !!!

goomen · Answer

It will be a loss because we are switching from digital to analog !!!! I just hope that the ear will not catch it, but the secon is that thanks to the arc you can turn both devices on and off with one remote ... after the conversion, this option will not be anymore! You will have to search for 3 pilots in the living room and sometimes one cannot find each other

KOCUREK1970 · Answer

The difference between coaxial and optics is the transmission method, audio recoding, etc. It's not audiophile equipment - you won't hear any difference.
