    Overview

    When it comes to your favourite TV shows and movies, it is important to have amazing sound to match, which is exactly where this LG High Res Soundbar comes in. Dolby Atmos serves to truly immerse you in sound from all directions, for a spectacularly enriched experience. Adaptive Sound Control analyses what’s playing and adjusts the sound setting to enhance your audio experience.

    Hi-Res Audio works to enhance the sound quality of your music, TV shows and movies by presenting high-quality sound through your soundbar. Every gasp, bass drop and action scene can be heard with wondrous clarity. And with Google Assistant compatibility built right in, you can cast your music straight to your soundbar using a Google Assistant compatible device.
    Dolby Atmos

    Dolby Atmos technology creates a 360° audio field above and around you. Conventional home theatres shoot audio directly at you and that creates a two-dimensional sound experience. With Dolby Atmos, sound is multidimensional; it moves around you, fills the space around you, and truly immerses you in the scene.

    Hi-Res Audio

    This unit is a Hi-Res Audio device, which allows it to play a variety of 24-bit digital audio formats. This simply means you can take full advantage of high-quality audio sources like FLAC audio files.

    Adaptive Sound Control

    Whether you’re watching sports, the news or listening to music, this LG Soundbar automatically detects what’s playing and then adapts the audio output to highlight what’s important. In reality, this means that if you’re watching dialogue-heavy content, you’ll hear speech clearer and if you’re listening to music the focus will be on bass.

    4K Pass Through

    4K Pass Through allows you to connect your 4K device – like a 4K Blu-Ray player – through your Stereo receiver to your TV, without losing picture quality. Many conventional stereo receivers downgrade the quality of the picture when it passes through to the TV which results in lost image quality.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this a while ago and have loved having it. Has definitely been an upgrade on prior sound and love having the Dolby Atmos capability.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to install, had no issue with it. Space saver without suffering sound quality.

    Wish we purchased something else
    Everything seemed good until actually listening to it. Any sound setting other than Movie sounds awful, very tinny, and hollow. The subwoofer constantly cuts out and makes listening to anything sounds without depth. I wish there was an option to plug the woofer into the soundbar and stop the foolish Bluetooth connection. I’ve had it for 2 years and returned it twice for repair. I love LG products but this one is a far cry from the other things they make.

    Questions & answers

    Hello, I'm using the soundbar well, but the woofer connection frequently disconnects. It's placed next to the soundbar, with a Wi-Fi router nearby. I turned off 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, but the issue remains. Firmware is up to date. Any other suggestions? Darren Shin · 2025-04-26
    Hey Darren! Thanks for asking. We'd love to help you optimize your LG soundbar's connection quality! If your wireless subwoofer keeps disconnecting from your main soundbar, we recommend ensuring that there aren't any obstacles between the main soundbar and the subwoofer. The closer the main soundbar is to the subwoofer, the better the sound and connection quality will be. We also recommend checking for any nearby devices using the same frequency as the wireless connection, such as medical equipment, microwaves, wireless LAN devices, etc. As for your wireless router, keep the soundbar and subwoofer at least 1m (3.3 ft) away from the router to prevent any wireless interference. If you still need help, please get in touch with us on social media @LGUSSupport. We'll gladly help out more! *Joseph LG Digital Care Team - Joseph, Appliances Online
    The LG SK9Y soundbar is compatible with which subwoofers? And can I add more audio channels to it? Example, can I add and pair 2 more rear speakers to get a 7.1.2 soundbar? Weveron Andrade Muniz · 2024-06-18
    Hello, Weveron Andrade Muniz. The LG SK9Y 5.1.2 Channel High-Resolution Audio Sound Bar with Dolby Atmos is only compatible with the subwoofer that comes with the Soundbar, specifically designed for it. You cannot pair another Subwoofer with the Soundbar. It is compatible with the LG SPK8-S 2.0 Channel Sound Bar Wireless Rear Speaker Kit, which, like the Soundbar, is also a discontinued product...^Ivan. Ivan, Appliances Online
    Hej, sk9y works with rear speakers spq8-s ? And if yes how to pair them, I have tried all the ways and I can’t get them work together Adrian94 · 2023-08-19
    Yes, the LG SPQ8-S wireless rear speaker kit is compatible with the LG SK9Y soundbar: To pair the rear speakers with the soundbar, you can follow these steps: •Turn off the soundbar and the rear speakers. •Plug in the rear speakers to a power outlet. •Press and hold the Pairing button on the back of the rear speakers for 5 seconds until the LED light on the back of the speakers starts flashing. •Press and hold the F (Function) button on the remote control for 5 seconds until the LED light on the soundbar starts flashing. •Wait for the soundbar and the rear speakers to connect. The LED light on the back of the rear speakers will stop flashing and stay on when the connection is successful. •If you are still having trouble pairing the rear speakers with the soundbar, you can try resetting both the soundbar and the rear speakers to their factory settings and then repeat the pairing process. If you need further assistance, feel free to send us a private message on Facebook or Twitter through @LGUSSupport, and we'd be pleased to help. ~Bridge Bridget Galon, Appliances Online
    Sk9y soundbar will not work with our LG tv using an optical cable But a SONY soundbar will work correctly with our LG TV USING A NEW OPTICALCABLE.. HELP PLEASE !!! Rick Hughed · 2022-09-21
    If the LG SK9Y 5.1.2 Channel High-Resolution Audio Sound Bar with Dolby Atmos is not working with your LG TV using the same new optical cable that works for your other Soundbar with the same LG TV then you may have a faulty optical digital audio input on the LG Soundbar. It is not recommended to look directly into the optical digital audio port because the infrared can damage your eyes, but if the port is working, you should see the red infrared light...^Ivan Ivan, Appliances Online
