All of a sudden, the row of inputs showed up at the bottom of the home screen on my C1. I’ve tried every setting but can’t seem to get rid of them. I used to just call them up as needed (input button on remote) but now they’re there permanently. Any ideas?

HI All
I wondering if any help can be provided as I just purchased the LG C4 TV but having trouble getting any sound from my SC-HT500 Panasonic Theater Surround sound system having tried connecting to all four ports. I managed to connect to the universal remote via management of setting where the theater system powers up in which it's getting recognized but not getting and sound with no signal.
Please see screen shots along with manual of the surround sound system
Is there anything I'm missing in the set-up that I should try?

I purchased an LG 86" UT8050 4K UHD LED Smart TV (2024) from JBHIFI in Australia. The TV was wall-mounted and set up by a local installer. I discovered that my TV has Chromecast built-in. I tried casting music from Roon, but Chrome immediately crashed and the TV shutdown. I tried again and the audio was distorted. I shut down and tried again and the audio stuttered. I tried Chromecasting with Qobuz and Plex and got the same result on audio playing out to my Yamaha RX-V6A and the TV speakers. I then tried to play audio from the Plex App in the LG WebOS. That played fine, without any distortion.
Thinking this might have been a result of a hurried setup (the installer did this job "on the run" I reset the TV to factory defaults and set it up again. Everything went smoothly. But the problem with Chromecast persists. First time launching Chromecast the app crashed and the TV shutdown. 2nd try I got distorted audio to the receiver and to the TV speakers. Audio and Video are fine on all other apps. I can see no other faults.
I've been Googling this and not seeing much info other than a few threads where people are saying that the LG built-in Chromecast feature does not work. I saw that one person returned his TV and the replacement had the same issue with built-in Chromecast. Most discussions on this issue are hijacked by people using a Chromecast streamer or dongle as opposed to the built-in Chromecast. They often talk about turning off this or that specific Chromecast setting, settings that are not accessible with a TV with built in Chromecast
In the WebOs when I look at connected source devices Chromecast is there with a "Chromecast Settings" option. The settings have only one option and that is opt-in on sending crash data to Google. Apparently, Google is not monitoring the issue very closely.
I listen to mostly Hi-Res audio. I wonder if the issue is caused by the bitrate of 24-bit Hi Res flac files. I did notice that when I cast audio that was CD quality (16-bit), the distortion did not occur. This is weird though because in the past I have been able to cast 24-bit audio to Chromecast-enabled devices without any problems.
My TV says my firmware is up to date. I did not see a prompt to install a firmware update during setup. I've set software and app updates to be automatic.
Appreciate any help or even a "Hey, it's not just you, this is a known issue, I've got this problem too".

LG Objet Collection epitomizes artful home appliances that seamlessly complement any space. And since beauty is not just on the outside, each appliance boasts innovative technology and leverages the LG ThinQ platform to ensure a smarter home that prioritizes convenience.
To help consumers realize their dream homes – spaces that embody convenience and evoke positive emotions – LG Vietnam teamed up with AKA, a leading interior design brand that has propriety rights of over 30 famous furniture brands. Together, they crafted inspiring living space concepts showcased in BoConcept showrooms, a luxurious furniture design brand exclusively distributed by AKA. Here, the latest appliances and devices from the LG Objet Collection were prominently displayed, curating harmonious spaces that reflect unique tastes and styles.
The living room was transformed into an art exhibition with LG OLED Posé TV. The product’s luxurious design, characterized by soft, rounded lines and a beige fabric finish, inspires a warmer, more intimate atmosphere. The Posé minimizes visual clutter by concealing cables and accessories behind its cover, while cleverly routing the power cord along the base.
The kitchen was elevated with the LG Objet InstaView refrigerator and LG Quadwash TrueSteam dishwasher, which feature elegant designs and advanced technologies to bring aesthetics and convenience to the heart of every home.
In the bedroom, the LG PuriCare360 Alpha PET air purifier became an indispensable element by quietly cleaning the air, ensuring the best night’s sleep. Its unique two-tiered cylindrical design added a stylish touch that accentuated the relaxing ambiance of the room. The stylish LG Stanby ME smart screen, with various customization options and effortless portability, was another popular choice for family homes.
Another design marvel for the home was the LG Objet Styler, which boasts a modern design with minimalist square edges, resembling a small wardrobe. To ensure it blends effortlessly into any interior, its screen can be hidden away and only appears when touched by the user. Meanwhile, the LG WashTower introduced a “new breeze” to laundry spaces with its stacked washer and dryer design, utilizing a single control panel for optimal cleaning while saving valuable space.
Beyond its pioneering and creative designs, the LG Objet Collection integrates LG’s leading technologies, allowing customers to enjoy a daily paradise of convenience. Each product in the high-end collection connects seamlessly to the LG ThinQ app, empowering users to control their devices via smartphone, ensuring spaces are always tailored to their preferences.
Interior design experts note that the subtle yet elegant colors of beige, black and green not only allow the LG Objet Collection harmonize with a wide array of design styles but also add a touch of refinement and coziness to living spaces. These colors contrast beautifully with natural elements like stone, wood and tiles, enhancing the overall depth of the décor.
With today’s customers expecting new products to do more with less, the experience space also showcased LG PuriCare Aero Furniture, featuring a unique design that resembles a modern coffee table. Complete with a control panel and a wireless charging pad for smart devices, its cylindrical base purifies the air while maintaining a sleek aesthetic.
This collaboration between LG and AKA exemplifies the ideal home for modern consumers, merging aesthetically pleasing designs with life-enriching functionality. It reflects LG’s long-standing commitment to enhancing the overall user experience while promoting easier interactions with their products.
