Playbar with LG C9 OLED 2019 TV

I'm about to pick up this panel and I just want to make sure

1) Does this TV pass through dolby 5.1 with no lip sync issues for the Playbar?

2) Does the LG magic remote work with the playbar?

Thanks

    Hi,

    i have a lg B8 (2018 model) and it works great with the magic remote. I do not have lipsync issues but if you have them you can change audio delay in the tv settings or the sonos app.

    use these instructions to setup the magic remote for the playbar: https://support.sonos.com/s/article/3479

    Thank you

    I collected the TV today and yes it does pass through of dolby 5.1 with no lipsync delay and it was very easy to setup the remote. The c9 is able to recognise every device I connect and pre configure the settings    I’m not achieving the same - what C9 model exactly do you have?

    So after many hours of trying several things, I discovered that having the bar mounted under the tv on mount/hanger (looking at it being thin), the IR receiver doesn’t appear to work the same way as the one on the other side. ??

    Picture is of the one that works; the one that does is, in this particular picture, on top.

    My LG C9 2019 model does not currently work with the play bar - I follow the steps but the magic remote won't link to the player when asked to press the volume + button. Im hoping there will be a fix soon as its a bit irritating having to use my phone to change the volume every time.

      It’s been sorted. You have to manually search for Sonos in the set up menu but after that you’re golden. I’ve got the C9 with sonos playbar and can use the magic remote to change volume.

      I still can’t get this to work with my 2019 C9.  Can you please give details, not sure what you mean by search for Sonos in the set up menu.

      Ok, go to Device Connector then click on Bluetooth/Soundbar. When the manufacturer option comes up then you’ll need to manually search ‘Sonos’ as stupidly it doesn’t appear on the list. Obviously choose optical at the start as well and you should be good.

        FWIW, I just got a C9 and a Sonos Beam. The lip sync issue is still there, both when playing content through the built-in apps and through the Apple TV.

        how do you have your device connected? via ARC? I’m waiting for my C9 and wondering if I use the optical connection it will eliminate any issues

        I’m thinking about buying the C9 - is the delay issue with the play are sorted?
