Using the HDMI cable, connect the HDMI TV (e)ARC terminal on the LG WOWCAST to the HDMI IN eARC/ARC terminal on the TV as shown in the picture.

Install the TV and sound bar connected to LG WOWCAST as close as possible. If the wireless environment is not in a good condition, sounds may not come out smoothly.
If the product does not work properly or to reinstall the product, reset LG WOWCAST and the sound bar and try to reconnect.
When LG WOWCAST is connected to the sound bar, the software of LG WOWCAST may be updated. At this time, “W-UPDATE” is displayed on the sound bar status display window. When update is completed, the power of LG WOWCAST is turned off and on.
