I've had Universal Control via the smart remote sucessfully controlling the audio (volume) for my LG OLED 48C1LB tv via my Sherwood RD-6118R amp for a while now; But following a power cut, the remote no longer controls the amp/tv volume?
The audio IS still being played through the amp using the optical OUT/IN but I have no control of the volume
I've removed and re-initialised the settings for this amp in Universal Control Settings but following the "success" message, the remote does not control the volume on the amp/tv.
What am I missing?

LG’s Radio Optimism Campaign Inspires People to Share Their Love With Family
and Loved Ones Through One-of-a-Kind AI Songs
SEOUL, Sep. 25, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) today announced the success of its AI-powered Radio Optimism campaign, which revealed a universal truth: despite the rapid advances in technology, love and gratitude toward family and loved ones remain life’s foremost priorities.
Available in six languages, the creative platform inspired people globally to create more than 700,000 personalized songs. These AI-generated tracks – listened to and shared over 1.5 million times – underscored the enduring importance of human connection across cultures.
Designed to counter the sense of disconnection often associated with social media, Radio Optimism invited users to write a message to a loved one, select a genre and vibe and generate a one-of-a-kind AI song. By turning music into a heartfelt gesture, the campaign brought LG’s Life’s Good brand promise into the digital spaces where people most often connect.
Messages of love proved most prominent, appearing in over 30 percent of the songs, followed by messages of gratitude and encouragement. Family emerged as the most frequent recipient, followed by friends, reaffirming that when it comes to care and affection, people turn first to those closest to them.
The campaign drew an overwhelming response, generating over 30 million social engagements worldwide and 2.4 billion views of its content. Partnerships with global and local influencers amplified its reach, including Australian father-daughter duo Ben and Zara,

We live in a time when connection is easier than ever – or so it seems. With just a few taps, we can talk to someone across the globe. Social platforms let us share our thoughts, lives and moods in real time. AI serves up content tailored to our every preference. In many ways, it’s remarkable. We’ve never been more “connected.”
And yet, something essential still feels missing.
Despite constant digital interaction, we often hesitate to have real, heartfelt conversations – especially with those closest to us. We might send a quick message instead of picking up the phone. Or hold back from expressing deep emotions, unsure how they’ll land in a fast-paced, digital world. The irony is hard to ignore: in this hyperconnected world, emotional disconnection has quietly crept in.
At LG, we believe technology’s true purpose is to bring people closer – not just in terms of convenience, but emotionally. That belief is at the heart of our brand promise: Life’s Good. More than a slogan, it reflects our view that life is better when it’s filled with connection, warmth and optimism.
That’s why we created “Radio Optimism,” our latest global campaign. It began with a simple but important question: What does better connection look like today?
The campaign is built around the enduring power of music – one of humanity’s most universal emotional expressions. A single melody can convey what words cannot. A song can spark joy, recall memories or bring comfort – regardless of language or culture.
By combining that emotional depth with AI, Radio Optimism makes it possible to turn your heartfelt sentiments into music and send it to someone who matters. LG isn’t delivering the message – we’re simply enabling you to share your own, in a deeply human way.
This effort builds on our “Optimism your feed” campaign from last year, where we leveraged social media algorithms to promote positive content based on users’ viewing patterns, spreading optimistic messages in a space often dominated by negativity. This year, we’re taking it a step further by encouraging users to share heartfelt songs that express gratitude, encouragement, and love to their loved ones, aiming to help people experience the essence of Life’s Good even in the digital space.
Because at LG, we don’t just make devices – we create experiences that help build a Better Life for All. That means making space for joy, for kindness and for emotional connection. It means reminding people what makes life truly good.
Whether it’s a parent sending a song to their child far from home, or friends rekindling their bond through shared music, we hope this campaign sparks meaningful moments – bridging distances with the power of music, heartfelt emotions and genuine intentions.
After all, the smallest gestures are often the ones that resonate the most.
And if one song, shared from the heart, helps someone feel more seen, more loved, more connected – then that’s the kind of impact we believe in.

LG’s New Campaign Leverages Music – the Universal Language – to Foster
Deeper Connections and Expand the Life’s Good Promise in Digital Spaces
SEOUL, June 24, 2025 — LG Electronics (LG) today launched a new brand campaign, “Radio Optimism,” designed to help strengthen meaningful human connections and spread optimism through shared musical experiences. This initiative aligns with LG’s brand promise, “Life’s Good,” and addresses the growing challenge of forming genuine relationships in a technology-driven world.
The Radio Optimism campaign seeks to counteract the disconnection often felt in an era dominated by superficial interactions, such as likes and comments on social media. By harnessing the power of music, LG aims to foster deeper bonds among individuals, promoting a more fulfilling life.
“As technology advances, meaningful human connections become increasingly vital to enrich our lives. LG continues its commitment to bringing optimism into customers’ daily lives, staying true to our enduring brand promise of ‘Life’s Good,’” said Kim Hyo-eun, head of LG’s Brand Management Division.
This campaign reinforces LG’s commitment to creating enriching experiences in digital spaces where today’s consumers spend significant time. Building on this mission, LG has continuously engaged with younger audiences through participatory campaigns that bring the Life’s Good philosophy to life. Last year’s “Optimism your feed” campaign leveraged social algorithms to foster positivity on social media. This new initiative specifically seeks to address the paradoxical disconnection in an era of hyper-connectivity.
“One of the most reliable predictors of happiness is having deep and meaningful relationships,” said Jean M. Twenge, Professor of Psychology at San Diego State University. “Yet today, many people are spending more time online and less time connecting in person. Social media in particular tends to create shallow relationships rather than the deep connections people need. It’s common for people to have hundreds of followers but no one to talk to in real life if they need support. We need to build more meaningful connections with those around us. That might turn around the pronounced decline in happiness that’s occurred over the last decade.”
A new global study* from LG on social connection reveals that 68 percent of people find it harder to make real friends, and a third reported having one or fewer meaningful connections in the past month, with 8 percent experiencing none at all. Inspired by traditional radio’s unique way of connecting people through music and storytelling, the Radio Optimism campaign transforms this concept into an interactive platform where participants can create and send personalized songs to their loved ones. Users can easily create new songs using AI-powered tools, which are thoroughly trained on a curated music dataset. These tools interpret user prompts to produce unique musical pieces and generate matching album art, providing an engaging and personalized experience. Once generated, these songs can be sent to recipients to deepen their connection and made available for others to discover worldwide.
According to the survey, nearly 9 in 10 respondents believe that meaningful connections lead to a more optimistic outlook on life. By providing a platform for individuals to express their feelings, this campaign aims to foster deeper connections and help individuals enrich their lives while spreading optimism in their own ways.
The campaign website is available in English and Spanish, with plans to support additional languages in the coming months to enable broader participation. The official website can be found at
