Setup

1. Placement

Soundbar: Place the soundbar on a flat, stable surface directly in front of your television. Ensure there are no obstructions blocking the front speakers. The soundbar is designed for tabletop mounting.

Wireless Subwoofer: Position the wireless subwoofer anywhere in the room where it can receive power and is within range of the soundbar. For optimal bass performance, avoid placing it directly in a corner or enclosed space.

2. Power Connection

Connect the power cord to the soundbar's power input and then to a wall outlet. Do the same for the wireless subwoofer. The subwoofer will automatically attempt to pair with the soundbar once both are powered on.

3. Audio Connection to TV

Choose one of the following methods to connect the soundbar to your television:

• Optical Digital Audio Cable: Connect an optical cable from the OPTICAL IN port on the soundbar to the Optical Digital Output port on your TV. This is the recommended connection for high-quality digital audio.
• Bluetooth: For wireless audio from your TV (if supported) or other devices, refer to the "Bluetooth Pairing" section under Operating.

Maintenance

Cleaning

To clean the soundbar and subwoofer, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners, abrasive cleaners, or sprays, as these can damage the finish or internal components. Ensure the units are unplugged before cleaning.

Storage

If storing the unit for an extended period, unplug it from the power outlet and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with your LG SQC2 soundbar system, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• No Power:
  • Check if the power cords for both the soundbar and subwoofer are securely plugged into the wall outlets and the units.
  • Verify the wall outlet is functioning by plugging in another device.
• No Sound:
  • Ensure the soundbar is powered on and the correct input source (e.g., OPTICAL, BLUETOOTH) is selected.
  • Check the volume level on both the soundbar and your TV/connected device.
  • If using an optical cable, ensure it is securely connected at both ends and that your TV's audio output is set to "Optical" or "External Speaker."
  • If using Bluetooth, ensure the device is properly paired and connected.
• Subwoofer Not Pairing:
  • Ensure both the soundbar and subwoofer are powered on.
  • The subwoofer should automatically pair. If not, check the subwoofer's indicator light. If it's blinking, it's searching for a connection. If it's solid, it's connected.
  • Refer to the specific pairing instructions in your full LG manual if automatic pairing fails. Sometimes a manual pairing button is available on the subwoofer.
  • Try restarting both the soundbar and subwoofer by unplugging them for a minute and then plugging them back in.
• Bluetooth Connection Issues:
  • Ensure the soundbar is in Bluetooth mode.
  • Make sure your Bluetooth device is within range (typically 10 meters or 33 feet) and there are no significant obstructions.
  • Try unpairing and re-pairing the device.
  • Clear the Bluetooth memory on your device and the soundbar (if applicable) and try again.
