Overview

This document is an owner's manual for an LG Wireless Sound Bar, models LAS454B (LAS454B, S55A3-D). It provides comprehensive information on the device's setup, operation, and maintenance.

The LG Wireless Sound Bar is designed to enhance your audio experience, offering wireless connectivity and various sound modes. It functions as an external speaker system for your TV, Blu-ray disc player, DVD player, and other portable devices. The sound bar features a main unit and a wireless subwoofer, working together to deliver a rich sound.

Usage Features:

Power and Input:

The sound bar can be switched ON or OFF using the power button on the remote control or the front panel. Input sources can be changed using the 'F' button on the remote or front panel, allowing you to select between OPTICAL IN, PORT. IN, and BLUETOOTH functions.

Volume Control:

Volume can be adjusted using the VOL +/- buttons on the remote control or the -/+ buttons on the front panel. There is also a mute function, activated by the mute button on the remote, which can be canceled by pressing it again or adjusting the volume.

Sound Modes:

The sound bar offers several pre-set surround sound fields to optimize your listening experience:

  • STANDARD: Provides optimized sound for general listening.
  • VOICE: Enhances voice clarity, improving the quality of spoken audio.
  • CINEMA: Delivers a more immersive and cinematic surround sound experience. These modes can be selected using dedicated buttons on the remote control.

DRC (Dynamic Range Control):

This feature, accessible via the DRC ON/OFF button on the remote, helps make the sound clear at low volumes and prevents sudden increases in sound, particularly useful for Dolby Digital content.

Woofer Level Adjustment:

The sound level of the wireless subwoofer can be adjusted using the WOOFER LEVEL +/- buttons on the remote control, allowing you to customize the bass output to your preference.

Auto Power On/Off:

The unit supports an "Auto Power On/Off" function, which can be toggled using the AUTO POWER ON/OFF button on the remote. When enabled, the sound bar automatically turns on when an input signal is detected from an external device (Optical or Bluetooth) and turns off after a period of inactivity if no signal is present. If the unit is turned off directly, the auto power function will not turn it on unless an optical signal is received for more than 5 seconds. This feature helps save energy consumption.

Auto Function Change:

The sound bar can automatically recognize input signals (Optical or Bluetooth) and switch to the appropriate function. For example, if you turn on a TV connected via an optical cable, the unit will automatically switch to optical mode. Similarly, if you attempt to connect a Bluetooth device, the unit will switch to Bluetooth function.

Wireless Subwoofer Connection:

The wireless subwoofer connects automatically to the main unit upon power-up. An LED indicator on the subwoofer shows its connection status:

  • Yellow-green (Blink): Connection is attempting.
  • Yellow-green: Connection is completed.
  • Red: Subwoofer is in standby or connection failed.
  • Off: Power cord is disconnected. If the connection is not automatic, a manual pairing process is available, involving adjusting the main unit's volume, pressing the mute button on the remote, and then power cycling both the main unit and subwoofer. For optimal performance, it's recommended to install the main unit and subwoofer as close as possible and avoid obstacles or other devices using the same frequency.

Connecting to TV and External Devices:

The sound bar offers multiple connection options:

  • OPTICAL IN: Connects to your TV or other digital devices using an optical cable. Ensure to remove any protection plugs from the cable before connecting.
  • PORT. IN: Allows connection of portable players or external devices (e.g., MP3 players, notebooks, smartphones) using a 3.5 mm stereo cable.

Using BLUETOOTH® Technology:

The sound bar supports Bluetooth wireless technology for short-range connections, allowing you to stream music from compatible devices like mobile phones, MP3 players, laptops, and PDAs. The pairing process involves turning on the unit, enabling Bluetooth on your device, and selecting "LG LAS454B (XX)" from the list of available devices. Once successfully connected, the BLUETOOTH (*) LED will illuminate. The sound quality may be affected by interference from other electronic waves or distance.

TV Remote Control Compatibility:

The sound bar can be controlled by your TV remote (even from other manufacturers) for basic functions like volume up/down and mute. This feature is activated by pressing and holding DRC ON on the sound bar's remote for about 3 seconds, and deactivated by holding DRC OFF for about 3 seconds. Supported TV brands include LG, Panasonic, Philips, Samsung, Sharp, Sony, Toshiba, and Vizio.

Mounting the Main Unit on a Wall:

The main unit can be wall-mounted using wall brackets and screws (not supplied). A Wall Bracket Install guide is provided to assist with drilling holes. It's crucial to connect all cables before mounting due to potential difficulty accessing ports afterward. Caution is advised against installing the unit upside down or hanging on it, and ensuring it's securely fastened to prevent injury or damage.

Maintenance Features:

Handling the Unit:

When shipping the unit, it is recommended to save the original shipping carton and packing materials to ensure maximum protection during transit.

Keeping Exterior Surfaces Clean:

  • Avoid using volatile liquids like insecticide spray near the unit.
  • Do not wipe with strong pressure, as it may damage the surface.
  • Prevent rubber or plastic products from being in contact with the unit for extended periods.

Cleaning the Unit:

To clean the player, use a soft, dry cloth. For very dirty surfaces, a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution can be used. Strong solvents such as alcohol, benzene, or thinner should not be used, as they can damage the unit's surface.
