I bought this soundbar for 600 CAD considering price and my specific needs (apartment and a not so big room) it’s perfect. Thankfully my ears have not been spoiled yet to truly nitpick the sound quality. Perfect example it blew my mind when you said the sub was lacking.
@@korndudit was one of those bestbuy “open box” deals. Soundbar showed up pristine no issues at all. Worst case scenario I’d just have to send it back and get a refund. Or sell it for more.
Got it new from Marketplace for $350 and very much enjoying now since its a big upgrade compared to internal speakers. By the way have to google and resolve an issue with Subwoofer due to it wasn't proper sound at all
One call out is that I realized is that using Optical Video has limitations on number of channels supported, I don't think it can support Dolby Atmos, so it would be great to understand those nuances so people set up their cables correctly. eARC still confuses me on how to setup properly
Hi, /gosman, it will work with hdmi E-arc on any tv that supports it So with the C4 you plug it into hdmi 2 and it works as an audio out keep an eye on the LG C4's if you are planning to buy one I have seen a few deals on where this soundbar is included free in the deal
At 7:01 how do you get that UI to show on the right side during PS5 games. Thanks! Also btw when using Wow orchestra, so volume level shows properly on TV when adjusting volume? I hate that with other sound bars there is no UI for it anymore when a sound bar is used instead of TV speakers.
I have a 55” LG OLED C3 and wanted to upgrade the audio with a sound bar. Im interested in the SC9S because it comes with a bracket to make it fit under the TV. However i have the TV on a shelf thats not very deep. Can i please have the dimensions of the entire footprint of the soundbar and the table stand it comes with? Thank you so much 👍
@@sid777 did it work? I am thinking of getting one for my CX and thought the mounting points on the back of the tv look similar to the c2, just would like confirmation before I buy
It is only compatible with C2 + C3, but it is not compatible with C1. You will get most of its Impressive Sound Quality. The bracket that comes with the soundbar is not compatible with the C1 LG. Hope this helps. Enjoy, I have an LG C1, and I purchased the LG SC9S soundbar & love it.
I have the lg dsc9s but I want rear speakers for it. I see multiple answers about the compatibility with spq8-s. Some say it connects, but some say it don’t. What rear speakers do I buy for the dsc9s?
hi its not hooked up right !!!!! dont use the bluetooth this is why your not getting the full sound use the arc and then you will have it loud and powerful and you can clearly hear the back spks ....yes some are hooking them up wrong the blue tooth is for only music from your cell phone and you need to mute alexa before when watching movies or tv she will talk

Which one should i go for lgsp8a or lgsc9s because lgsp8a is configured with meridian one and i haven't seen any of such in lgsc9s. Does meridian plays a major role in sound difference between lg sp8a vs lg sc9s
No, it can be any TV. With compatible LG TVs you get Synergy effect by using both TV and soundbar speakers at the same time. However, in my tests and actual use, I haven’t seen any real benefit.
@@TVguyDarko yes I checked with LG support they told its not Meridian one. But stores like reliance they are selling it on meridian printed on their catalogue.
I think not - this is what LG customer support has written: However, it is only compatible with the 55”, 65”, and 77” OLED evo C2, C3, and C4 models.. www.lg.com/us/sound-bars/lg-sc9s-sound-bar
I have 55" LG OLED C7 from 2017, and I wonder if the soundbar mounting bracket will fit - the bracket mounting (the rectangular chunky plastic part with 4 screw holes that goes into the tv) looks similar to the stand mounting on my C7, but I have to be sure. My old LG OLED is my pride and joy, and now this soundbar is on sale...
Without a doubt I'd get Klipsch. I've been using this soundbar in my living room since I've finished the test and definitely it sounds inferior to my floor-standers that I had before. If you are limited by space, sure, soundbars are a great option, but for me they offer too big compromise when it comes to sound quality.
Ah yes, Logitech at its golden age! Remember reading about their Z series and at one point I had Z5300 system, but at the end settled with Technics stereo system.
I had the same issue but it is easily fixed in the app. Go in and boost the middle channel and overhead channel to like 3-4 this makes the soundbar much more rounded
I have the same soundbar but on 06:08 i see on your phone the button sound effect Standard. Mine is PCM en Yours is on Dolby Atmos. How do you set that to Dolby Atmos?
Hey - you need to send bitstream (pass-through) signal to the soundbar and not decode it to PCM in order to see Dolby Atmos / other formats in the app.
Hi, for connectivity is it better to use HDMI or bluetooth? as i see the advertiding for this sounbar, it says bluetooth still provide good sound quality pair with LG OLED C3 TV
2 hdmi. Does this mean if u connect soundbar using hdmi you don't loose taken hdmi by soundbar cos u can plug xbox to 2nd hdmi on the soundbar? Meaning soundbar works as passthrough?
Hey - that it correct - soundbar can pass-through the signal from the external device to the TV. It just doesn't support 4K 120 HDR VRR as pointed out just before the conclusion.
@@TVguyDarko da! Puno bolji! Lg ima problem sa wooferom on jednostavno nije dovoljno duboki. A za slusanje muzike ima jacinu ali nekako nije to to kako bi trebalo biti. Jedini mode koji je bio slusljiv kod mog lg-ja bio je movie. A samsung q930 znaci manji brat od q990 druga je dimenzija soundbara.

The stand bracket has deep 25,5cm with the Sound Bar on top the bracket
Sc9s with rear kit or sony s500rf ?? Both almost similar ranges
go check offline stores spend sometime with both of these and then decide
Do you think the brackets would work on the LG CX?
Hey, I am not sure, but perhaps I could make a sketch with all the dimensions so you can check? Would that be helpful?

Will the WOW features like WOW Orchestra and others work with LG G4?
They should work - I'll test it on QNED86 soon.

No, it can be any TV. With compatible LG TVs you get Synergy effect by using both TV and soundbar speakers at the same time. However, in my tests and actual use, I haven’t seen any real benefit.
Does it have Meridian sound? LG's catalogues available at stores says it has but it is nowhere mentioned on packing neither on product.
No, I don't think this is Meridian-verified/tuned soundbar.

Pozdrav Darko, imam TV LG OLED 55C9PLA. Koji LG soundbar kupiti?
I need a replacement subwoofer which model is compatible with the SC9S bar?
Seems no replacements are available, but check with the LG service center which options exist.
Will it be compatible with a 65 inch B2?
Seems not, only C series.
you said it right , 5.1 is way better , using for 15 years Logitech X530 , changed the sub speaker a few times:))
Ah yes, Logitech at its golden age! Remember reading about their Z series and at one point I had Z5300 system, but at the end settled with Technics stereo system.
How many inches is Subwoofer ?
Speaker diameter? I’ve measured 19 cm through the cloth, should be 7 or 7.5 inch.
I have a problem with the sound bar the dialouge is very low but when action hit its very loud. I have c3 lg
