Asked 8 years ago by Nedy1988.
- Answer The SJ9 has 1-HDMI INPUT so if the source connected to this input has Dolby Atmos capabilities it should work great.

QuestionDoes Atmos only work on certain TVs? I have my SJ9 pluuged in with an HDMI Arc cable to my TV, but my TV is the LG 60PN5700. How do I know if Atmos is actually working or not? I'm using the Apple TV 2016 for all my movie/show viewing. Any help appreciated
Asked 8 years ago by Brandon.
- Answer Your TV has to support Dolby Atmos to send Dolby Atmos signal to your soundbar. Also, I don’t think Apple TV supports Dolby Atmos yet. And when Apple TV does update to support Dolby Atmos, I think it will only be the 2017 Apple TV 4K model that will have Dolby Atmos.

QuestionWhat’s the best way to hook a 4K Blu-ray player to this sound bar? I have an LG B7 OLED TV that supports atmos. Should I hook the Blu-ray to the sound bar directly into HDMI input and then HDMI arc between TV and sound bar? Or hook Bluray to TV by HDMI?
Asked 8 years ago by mjmdoc.
- Answer I have the B7P from Costco. It definitely supports atmos as I’m getting it through the native speakers and passing it to sound bar via arc, with confirmatory “dolby atmos” graphic on TV and soundbar LCD readout. From your answer it sounds like I could hook up Blu-ray directly to TV or soundbar and be ok. Correct? Loving the setup by the way...

QuestionAre there any rear speakers compatible with this sound bar?
Asked 8 years ago by Lemke101.
- Answer Though no longer readily available, the LG music flow H3 and H5 speakers CAN be added wirelessly to function as rear speakers. They would not be Atmos speakers since the atmos audio is up firing from the front, but they would be rear speakers similar to what you have with a standard 5.1 system.

QuestionIs there a way to set a minimum volume on this soundbar so that when I turn off the sound bar and television, it will be at that minimum level when I turn everything back on? Sound level goes to "0" when I turn everything off. Thanks
Asked 8 years ago by dawn.
- Answer Hi Dawn. The volume level on the LG 5.1.2 ch High Resolution Audio Sound Bar with Dolby Atmos, Model # SJ9, goes down to "0" to protect the speakers from being blown out in the event the volume is too high when the unit is turned on. Your unit supports the Auto volume function which automatically adjusts the volume level. When the output sound is too loud or too low, pressing Auto Vol on your remote control will adjust the volume automatically to an appropriate level. If you need further assistance with this, please contact our Support Center at (800) 243-0000...^IFV

QuestionHello, I was wondering what is the difference between connecting with HDMI cable vs using the optical cable it comes with? I have an LG 55 C7 tv and HDMI ports are bit limited. Will I lose quality if I use the Opt cable vs HDMI? Thanks!
Asked 8 years ago by JSon.
- Answer After some research - Ill answer my own question. HDMI will the better choice because HDMI allows better quality (lossless) sound over Optical. Optical will only supply about half the sound (lossy) vs HDMI where HDMI will support full dolby atmos because it support full HD sound. So If you want full HD sound, go with HDMI. If you don't care then go with optical. Both will work. : )

QuestionWith the 5.1.2 Ch. can you increase dialogue volume without increasing background music or special effects? Currently, my LG sound bar the dialogue (or actors' voices) are softer than the background - one is too loud during war scenes, car chases, etc?
Asked 8 years ago by Puddle.
- Answer To answer your question, no. You have very little control over the equalizer type settings on this soundbar. However, you do have different modes. Nightmode helps even out the sounds and takes away the deep base. My experience, streaming 4K Atmos content from an Nvidia Shield to the SJ9 through HDMI, the voices are extremely clear and can be played at low volume without the need to bump the volume up and down throughout the movie. This is the first audio system that I can play TV and Movie content at low volume and hear every word. For this capability alone the SJ9 was worth the purchase. Another quick disclaimer, some audio is poorly mixed by the studios. This means no matter what the system you have, the system itself will require to process the content to even out the sounds or you will get the massive range of volume throughout the show.

QuestionRecently purchases an SJ9. Connected to my LG C7 OLED via arc. My LG UHD 4k Blu-Ray player is hooked into the TV via HDMI. I am noticing severe and correctable lip sync issues on 4k blu rays such as Avengers Infinity War.
Asked 6 years ago by MisterC.
- Answer Definitely use the 4K pass through capabilities the SJ9 has, by plugging your 4K BD player into the HDMI in port of the soundbar. The sound will be processed and played by the soundbar first, then passes the 4K HDR video signal on to the tv to be displayed.

QuestionHi, I’ve got a LG oled 55C7v, LG sj9 sound bar and sky q 2 tb box. What’s the best way to connect the tv, sound bar and sky Q box to get the best quality HD picture and Dolby Atmos and also how do I know I’m getting Dolby Atmos through the sound bar ?
Asked 7 years ago by DazzaRobbo.
- Answer The connection would be based on which output provides the best sound and picture. I know with the XBOX One S, the only way I can achieve both ATMOS Sound with 4K HDR is using the HDMI connection. One way to check if you are getting ATMOS sound, is by selecting the info button on the remote control for the SJ9. It should display on the LG sound bar what the current sound that it is decoding at the time. If this does not display ATMOS, then it not getting the correct sound output. YouTube may have some helpful videos to help as well.

QuestionMy HDMI ARC cable (connected from LG OLED TV to LG SJ9 Soundbar) does not work. Is it because I also have the optical audio cable plugged into the TV? I don't want to unplug the optical from the wall mounted TV unless it will activate the HDMI ARC.
Asked 8 years ago by Fred.
- Answer I did this exact same thing. First off you do not need the optical cable. I used a chocolate HDMI cable and make sure it’s in HDMI 2 (ARC) then into the sound bar. Turn your sound bar function to HDMI TV ARC and you should be good to go!
