Immerse yourself in music or movies with this LG 2.1-channel soundbar. The HDMI interface permits streaming from consoles or HD devices, while the 220W subwoofer with Bass Blast brings out the best in both songs and dialogue. This LG 2.1-channel soundbar is equipped with DTS Digital Surround for a truly enveloping experience.
Q: Is there a volume display on this soundbar ?
A: Yes there is.
Q: Where are the instructions that go with this for use and hookup?
A: The manual is on the internet but is very confusing!
Q: what is the difference between a 2.1 channel and a 3.1 channel system?
A: The difference is in the number of front firing speakers. As a 2.1 system, the LG 2.1-Channel Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer and DTS Virtual: X, Model # SL5Y only has 2 stereo speakers (Left & Right) in the sound bar. In a 3.1 system, the Soundbar will also have a center speaker in addition to the two stereo speakers (i.e a center, left and right speakers.) hence the 3.1 configuration. The [.1] is for the Subwoofer...^IFV
Q: Does this come with all the cords necessary to hook it up or do you need to purchase more?
A: Yes. Came with everything needed.
A: The soundbar does connect with cords. Power cord and either hdmi(arc) or optical cord. I solved by mounting the soundbar below the first tv. Mount sold separately, be sure to get one that fits. I already had power behind the tv. So all cords are out of site this way. Hope that helps.
A: Yes, you can run your Xbox through it, but the SL5Y Sound Bar will not pass 4K Ultra HD through to the TV. It still looks and sounds great. I pass my Xbox to the Sound bar HDMI in and then the HDMI ARC out to the TV's HDMI ARC in port. I do get Surround 5.1 this way as well.
A: My apologies for the confusion. The SL4Y has the following dimensions: Soundbar (WxHxD) 35.1" x 2.3" x 3.4", Subwoofer (WxHxD) 6.8" x 15.4" x 10.3". ^CP
Q: Can this sounbar be mounted to hang under the bottom of the TV?
A: yes, with additional hardware
