A 4.1-channel soundbar system with rear speakers and a wireless subwoofer

The S40TR is much better than using the speakers in your television, as it allows you to add a separate wireless subwoofer, rear speakers, Bluetooth capabilities, and HDMI ARC and optical inputs, along with additional smart sound features that allow you to control the entire system through either your television remote or the provided remote. The 4.1-channel configuration creates immersion by building a sound field in front of and behind you, so when you watch movies, sports, or play video games, surround sound enhances the overall viewing experience. The two rear speakers are connected via a wire connecting them together, while one of the two is plugged into an electrical outlet, allowing you to position them behind your sofa without having to run wires from the soundbar across the room to the rear speakers.

The wireless subwoofer contributes 200 watts of deep, rumbling bass to loud explosions, heavy engine noises, and strong bass lines in music. Since the subwoofer doesn’t require wires to connect to anything else in the room, you can place it anywhere that produces the best bass response.

Clear Voice Plus pushes dialogue toward you, so you don’t have to keep raising the volume when people speak in a movie or show. AI Sound Pro analyzes what you’re currently watching and automatically optimizes the sound, so you never need to manually switch through different preprogrammed settings.

If you have a compatible LG television, WOW Orchestra combines the sound of your television’s built-in speakers with the sound produced by the soundbar to create even greater depth. WOW Interface also lets you control your soundbar settings from your television’s menu.

You can connect your soundbar directly to your television using an HDMI ARC connection or an optical cable. With Bluetooth 5.3, you can stream music from your phone to your soundbar, and its three-band equalizer lets you customize the tone of your bass, mids, and treble to your liking. Sports and gaming benefit from the surround sound configuration, too: crowd noise fills the room when you’re watching a big sporting event, and in action games you can hear footsteps and effects coming from behind you, which helps enhance your experience and makes you feel like you’re really there.

Setup should take no longer than a couple of minutes. Connect your television to your soundbar using either an HDMI ARC cable or an optical cable. Then simply turn on your soundbar and plug in the rear speakers and the wireless subwoofer. Once these items are turned on and automatically paired, you’re ready to start watching your favorite shows, movies, and games immediately! The LG S40TR 4.1 ch. Home Theater Soundbar delivers a full surround-sound experience with minimal hassle. It’s a convenient way to enjoy home theater-style audio for movie nights, game-day events, and more.
