So easy to follow thanks so much
What if the light on bass box blinking green and the sound bar is playing and no bass, what should be done?
Thx Carl you’re a lifesaver
Definitely worked for my sound bar
Can you connect subwoofer to phone. I have a wireless subwoofer but no sound bar
Thank you! It was that easy??!! Can’t thank you enough
Thank you!!
LG SN7Y woofer not working. Light is solid green on back of woofer but no sound is coming Out. Tried everything to reset and manually connect. Again solid green light but no sound from woofer. Is there anything else I’m missing to trouble shoot. Just purchased today brand new from a seller on offer up. Everything was sealed when I opened
Thanks. Easy Peezy!
This helped thanks bud
Nice video it helped out Do you have video on pairing phone? ☎️ to the app where you can control options

No sound from my subwoofer even though the light was green. Tried all the fixes in the comments. My problem was the location of the sub in relation to the sound bar. Make sure it’s as close as reasonably possible and there are no obstructions between them. They have to be able to “see each other”.

Can't I connect a SN5A Subwoofer to my SN7R Soundbar ? they both star with the SN so they mite be similar
For anyone with a LG DS60Q that has the sub connected but theres barely or no output from it- I solved the issue by downloading the LG Soundbar app, connected to my soundbar and found it somehow had it completely set the sub to minimum output as well as in the equaliser it was -11 db.

@David If the light is solid green that means it's connected properly. You may just need to adjust the subwoofers output. To do that you'll need to press the sound tuning button on the remote until the display on the soundbar says WF (subwoofer). Then press the up button on the directional pad to raise the sub level. If the light on the back of the sub is solid red, that means the connection was not made and you'll need to try the pairing process again. Another way to try would be to unplug both sub and soundbar from their power sources for a few minutes then plug the soundbar back in first, then the subwoofer.
