(NEW) LG SC9S Soundsystem w/IMAX Enhanced and Dolby Atmos (Open Box)

C2 owner here!Soundbar connects just fine, everything got hooked up immediately and it switched to the WOW Orchestra mode (TV speakers + soundbar) automatically. WOW Interface (the UI on the TV where you configure your soundbar) is not supported on C2, only on C3, but there are not too many settings and you can access all of them through the soundbar remote (yeah, it kinda sucks, since you are paying extra for LG TV integration and there is basically none). You can also install the app on your smartphone, but I have so many apps by now so that I got tired of all this "install a dedicate app to control a light bulb in the bathroom" nonsense.Let's get to the actual reason why you would be buying the soundbar - the sound! There is no noticeable difference between TV speakers and soundbar. First of all, "center channel to improve dialogs" is utter nonsense, as center channel is not playing with PCM content. Most of your apps, like YouTube, etc. will still play stereo, so no center channel for you. My other hope was that soundbar will improve volume disparity between Netflix (which has most of the Dolby content) and the rest of the apps (which stream PCM/stereo), as I now have more channels. Unfortunately, nothing changed - Netflix is still too quiet, while the rest of the apps are too loud. You can hear all the speakers are active when watching Netflix, but it's still noticeably quieter than YouTube, for example, even though YouTube only plays through two speakers of the soundbar. And yeah, there is no magic - there is no surround effect of any kind, It's just people on the second floor can hear what you are watching downstair a little bit better, as they now get their dedicated speakers. :) The only (marginal) difference is the subwoofer - if you crank up the volume, you can hear it pumping a little bit.I also played with the sound presets. I still like the balanced sound of "Standard" the most, although when you switch it to "AI Sound Pro" it definitely sounds better with the soundbar than without it (although sound is still trash in this mode regardless). Interesting thing is that when you select "AI Sound Pro" preset it leverages all speakers even for stereo content. It doesn't make it any louder, but all the sound effects/compression (not the binary compression, but the limiter/compressor) and made-up channel separation make it sound very artificial and unrealistic. The similar effect (using all speakers for stereo content) can be achieved if you enable surround mode on the soundbar itself through the remote control (or in the app; or in the WOW Interface, if you have C3). In any case, I just left it on "Standard", as that's the most balanced sound preset.Lastly, instructions for the remote are non-existent - there is a good deal of buttons, but you have no clue what they are doing, as there is nothing in the simple manual that comes with the sound bar. Online instructions are a little bit better, but still lacking. In any case, the key button is the cog/gear (settings) - you press it, and sound bar will announce what setting you are configuring. To scroll through the settings press left/right on the "wheel" while you are still in the settings mode and to change the value (i.e. on/off a certain feature) press up/down on the wheel. You can also tweak level for different channels in the same matter, just press the EQ button (bottom-left on the remote) instead of the settings.Overall, for the price - just get something else.
