How do I get sound from my LG TV to my Beosystem 3 (partially solved)

26 replies

I have a Beosystem 3 with DVI outs. I am trying to get the sound from my LG OLED screen through the Beosystem.  I've searched the forum and can find a few older posts saying people have done this,  but none actually explain how.

I have a Toslink to SPDIF converter and I have connected it to the TV and set Optical/HDMI ARC out. I have set the Beosystem 3 to AV2 sound input SPDIF. 

I cannot get any sound.

Can anyone help with what I need to do. What connections I need to make.

Thanks in advance

Try changing the type of sound your tv outputs. (PCM/Passthrough/Auto)

This is how I set the TV (55C9) and it works fine with an optical to coax converter. Optical only and Auto Digital Sound Out.

Hope this helps!

Hi,

how do you remote the LG via the Beosystem?

With PUC and how is the technical way to do this?

What about remote turn on and off the LG and switching through TV, Netflix,

Apple TV 4 etc.?

Greats and thanks!!

I have an Beosystem 4.

I have an Beosystem 4.

To control the LG I used a Beo5 remote control. It took a lot of tinkering and worked well. But, I far prefer the Beo 4 so I have bought a LinTronic. I asked my local dealer if they can put LG TV codes into the  Beosystem 3 and they said it is not possible.

Thanks Johan. My. Sound menus looks slightly different but I'll give it a go tonight. Do you also have an HDMI cable connected. I only have the DVI to HDMI connected.

Hi Stoobie, my BeoSystem3 has HDMI outputs, but I am confident that that is not the problem. I also have connected the digital coax (from the toslink to sp-dif) to AV2. Let me send you a photograph of that setting also (in Dutch though).
