Its an old LG, but given the recent light on the lengths they’ll go to spy on us, I figured this guy was better off without any ability to even connect wirelessly. Don’t know if the Ethernet still works but I plan on keeping my TVs as dumb as possible, HDMI only.
If you’re wondering how to open lg TVs you just have to remove all the screws then start pulling open at the bottom and open the clips going up. With the TV face down on a soft surface just keep pulling on the back case from the bottom, it’ll take some effort to pop open. The top edge folds open more like a hidge than clips.
playstation to sound system to [smarter than i’d like] tv.
i don’t know how much data gets stripped out at the sound system, but i know they started making older sound formats stop working through the optical audio channel for “reasons” (probably to do with tracking) and we had to switch to HDMI. do not get me started.
The receiver takes the audio signal from the Playstation to push it to the speakers then sends the rest to the TV. Make sure the TV is not connected to the internet.
