QuestionI don't understand the purpose of the remote. Can the TV be operated using the LG remote without having to turn on/off the soundbar? I have another 65" LG OLED that seamlessly used a Sonos Beam (2d gen) and no remote is offered or needed. Thanks.

- Answer You can use the remote to control all functions of the product, from turning the power on/off to enabling cinematic sound. Soundbar SP8YA features TV Remote Compatibility. It can be adjusted with LG TV Remote control as well as other brands. ^Daphane

QuestionCan the sub-woofer be wired or is it only Bluetooth? My wireless router is right behind the tv so Bluetooth devices must be at lease 3.3 ft away from it.
Asked 4 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer Arc is the recommended connection. Please think of Bluetooth as a last resort over hardwired connection.

QuestionWill this be compatible with my hisense u8g tv? I ask because I tried a new vizio soundbar and it was not compatible.
Asked 4 years ago by Jimm.
- Answer A simple HDMI or optical audio cable should be compatible enough to connect any tv to any soundbar if it supports that connection. Also make sure both devices support HDMI ARC if trying HDMI cable. And that the cable is plugged into the arc ports. Then set sound to ARC on tv. Optical audio however is the simplest setup. What were you using to connect the devices?

QuestionSubwoofer compatibility: just out of curiosity, has anyone tried to pair a wireless subwoofer from an older LG soundbar (ie. SPK8-W subwoofer) with a newer soundbar like the SP8YA or SN8YG?
Asked 4 years ago by Beyondx4.
- Answer Very happy with the soundbar and wireless subwoofer. No regrets for buying said model plus the open box price was truly worth the savings. I just need to budget for a pair of compatible wireless rear speakers to complete my surround system. Thank you Best Buy.

QuestionDoes SP8YA sync with OLED65A1PUA for immersive sound?
Asked 4 years ago by teeks.
- Answer If it does it would be through optical only. And LGs 'sound sync' feature doesn't support anything over 5.1 pcm. So it's gonna be compressed audio.

QuestionInstalling this sound bar in an RV, manual buttons will not be accessible, will this be an issue? Do I need access to the manual buttons? Also, are they mechanical or heat sensitive type buttons?
Asked 4 years ago by Windecker.
- Answer These are heat sensitive type not mechanical on the top of the bar. It does come with a remote tho, and if you are using ARC Input you should be able to control the volume with your other remote as long as the other device supports it......although if you plan on using the works with Google part of this or Bluetooth I would shy away from it as they are flaky on this unit.

QuestionIs the wireless subwoofer (not the soundbar) front firing only? The mesh covers the front and left/right sides of the subwoofer but it wasn't clear if the sub has side-firing sound. Can the subwoofer be enclosed in a small base cabinet with open front?
Asked 4 years ago by Newbie2this.
- Answer Sub woofer sound comes from the front and back port, not the sides. I've used similar sub woofers in a cabinet and not had any trouble.

QuestionCan the sound bar be placed on the side of the tv instead of at the bottom?
Asked 4 years ago by cokjo.
- Answer If you mean horizontally then you could do this but the sound will be off center from the picture which defeats the point of having an expensive sound bar. If you mean vertically, then no because there are up firing speakers that would now not face up. While you can do anything you want mounting it, I would strongly suggest only under or over the TV.

QuestionI just bought this last week i was trying to find a good setting i have wf 3 center 1 overhead speaders at 3 and trebel and bass at 1 when everything is at zero is too quite but i can hear a bit of distortation when i put on atmos any help recommendation
Asked 4 years ago by Aaron.
- Answer I personally have the center channel at about 6(mainly because I hate not being able to hear talking when they mix the audio like hot garbage and one screen is super loud action and the next is quiet audio), overhead and rear at about 3-5 ish, and woofer at 1-2 (mainly because the wife doesn't like it up high and we often use while the baby is asleep. Your mileage may vary, and will also depend on the size of the room it's being used in
