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: Our TV is mounted on the wall are we going to have to have cords running up the wall to the TV to use this unit? We are trying to avoid that.

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.

Q: I noticed this unit has an HDMI in and an HDMI out. Can you run your Xbox One connection 'in' to the soundbar and 'out' to the TV? Anyone have any experience doing this? Would this introduce any lag to the TV picture that would effect online gaming?

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.

Q: You answered my question for the wrong unit....my question is about the length of the LG SL4Y 2 1CH 300W Soundbar,,please correct the answer, so i can buy the proper length shelf...thank you...

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
