LG Electronics 3.1.2-Channel 440W Soundbar System with Wireless Subwoofer and Dolby Atmos with Google Assistant

Q: Whats the difference between this model 6402206 model 6333921 they look the exact same

A: Hi, I found LG's website far more helpful to compare specs side by side. This model sound bar just began shipping; some info is missing here. If you visit www.lg.com, it's easy to compare this 2020 model SN8YG with last year's model SL8YG. Search the model numbers and click "Add to Compare." A tray pops up at the bottom of the screen. Once you have both models in there, click compare. Then the specs are shown side by side so it's easy to see the new additions/updates to help make for an educated purchase. I waited for this model SN8YG as it adds support for eARC(like my TV) and passthrough for 4k and HDR. Plus it has a new feature that senses the acoustics of the room it's in and calibrates the sound bar accordingly. Just to name a few specs that mattered to me. Hope that helps.

Q: Does this have eARC?

A: The LG SN8YG 3.1.2 Channel High Res Audio Sound Bar with Dolby Atmos® and Google Assistant Built-In does have a HDMI eARC port...^IFV

Q: Does this soundbar pass-through Dolby Vision? It only states it supports HDR, but there are many versions (e.g., HDR-10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision).

A: The LG SN8YG 3.1.2 Channel High Res Audio Sound Bar with Dolby Atmos® and Google Assistant Built-In has 4K and Dolby Vision®video Passthrough. It will also pass through other versions of HDR...^IFV

Q: Does Dolby Atmos pass through the HDMI connection? I read somewhere that it doesn't. What is the best option for connecting to my TV (OLED55BXPUA)?

A: The LG 3.1.2-Channel 440W Soundbar System with Wireless Subwoofer and Dolby Atmos with Google Assistant - Black, Model # SN8YG has an HDMI eARC port. It is not true that Dolby Atmos cannot pass through HDMI eARC or HDMI ARC. Dolby Atmos can be passed over regular ARC today (via Dolby Digital Plus) and eARC offers improved bandwidth for higher-quality Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio streams, including Dolby Atmos. The new format also has lip-sync compensation built-in. HDMI eARC on the Soundbar and on your OLED55BXPUA will be by far the best connection...^IFV

Q: I'm thinking about upgrading my sound system to one that supports Dolby Atmos and DTS:X. How effective would this system be in a room approximately 12' x 12' with a drop ceiling just over 7' high? I would be using rear surround sound speakers with it.

A: Our Family Room is small (15' x 13') with 8' high ceiling. Our 55" LG OLED CX TV and SN8YG sound bar are about 10.5' from where we sit on the couch. We have the additional SPK8-S rear speaker kit mounted on the wall behind the couch. With the small space and combination of sound bar and rear speakers, The sound and clarity is outstanding! We literally haven't gone above volume setting 20 due to he enormous sound and base this thing puts out, especially when playing something in Dolby Atmos! At that volume setting, things on shelves and walls begin to rattle and you have to raise your voice quite a bit to speak to someone just a few feet from you. We've had the system for a few months now and have been really impressed. Our older sound bar was a 6 year old Samsung and there is no comparison. Hope this helps.

Q: Apple TV 4K connected via HDMI to this soundbar will support/produce Dolby Atmos Sound?

A: Apple TV 4K and Apple TV HD automatically play sound in the highest quality that’s supported by your home entertainment system setup and available with content that you watch. As indicated in the title, the LG 3.1.2-Channel 440W Soundbar System with Wireless Subwoofer and Dolby Atmos with Google Assistant - Black, Model # SN8YG is a Dolby Atmos compatible Soundbar and if you have an Apple TV 4K with tvOS 12, you can play sound in Dolby Atmos. You will need to connect your Apple TV 4K directly to the HDMI input on the Soundbar and the audio signal from your source must be Dolby Atmos...^IFV

Q: I just bought this sound bar and LG 55 inch oledcx tv. The tv is on its stand and if you place the sound bar in front of it it blocks the TVs remote from working. The Best Buy guy told me it would work. Any ideas other than mounting?

A: I took a board and painted it black and put under the TV the sound bar covered the board unless you get up and look for it. so far no one but us has seen the board.

Q: Just ordered this sound bar just curious if it's mountable to the T.V with a universal sound bar mounting kit

A: Yes the gentleman that mounted my sound bar use his own mount. He did not use the mount included in the box.

Solid Dolby Atmos Sound Bar that is Simple To Use
The SN8YG is a 3.1.2 sound bar that supports both Dolby Atmos and DTS:X, and also uses Meridian Audio to help fine-tune LG’s sound bars with advanced signal processing. The SPK8-S speaker kit expands the SN8YG to a true 5.1.2 system. Setting up the additional speakers was seamless and instant. No issues here. It sports the same exact design and dimensions from last year, which is a sleek, brushed dark gray metal aluminum finish that perfectly matches LG's 2019-2020 OLED TVs. The SN8YG measures 41.7” long, 2.2” tall and 4.7” deep. The metal grill finely wraps around the sides in smoothly rounded edges, while discreet, touch buttons line horizontally on the top. The remote is also quite simple to use with large buttons. eARC support is new for the SN8YG, and allows it to receive lossless content straight from a Dolby Atmos supported TV, as well as any other connected devices to that TV. I’m happy to say it works perfectly. The SN8YG is also Google Voice and Chromecast compatible. I'm not a Google user myself but the 'LG Wi-Fi Speaker' app for iOS or Android is where the SN8YG can be remotely controlled and where firmware updates are downloaded. This requires a Wi-Fi connection, although the app seems quite lackluster and poor in quality, considering it's 1.5 star review for iOS. Sound quality is amazing and detailed with a very convincing sound field. In Blade Runner 2049, the rooftop rain scene where K and Joi are having a moment, occasional drops of water falling on metal from above the frame are produced only in the up firing drivers and gives a sense of added height into the scene. As for the low end, the subwoofer is impressive and punchy. ‘The Outpost’ precisely jolts you with every single round being fired from atop the Hum-Vee mounted machine guns. Mortor rounds and RPG explosions sound rich and powerful yet the low end doesn’t mask or muddy the mix. I’ve always had problems with the center channel in past LG sound bars, but it's definitely much improved here, although the problem is still slightly apparent in older content, while newer movies and TV shows are very clear. The most balanced sound field comes from Dolby Atmos content. Castlevania on Netflix is audio nirvana. The dialogue is crisp and untampered with, while bone crunches, whip snaps, magic summons, and crumbling rock are discreetly sent to the proper channels. The SN8YG is a solid Dolby Atmos sound bar that is very simple to use. I highly recommend it for home theater sound. I received this product at a discounted price in exchange for my honest review.

Sounds great!
I got this as an open box, without its cables. I was able to source a power supply (LG part number DA50F25) for the sound bar from Amazon, and I had an extra for the subwoofer laying around at home. You can easily buy a remote but if you have an LG tv with a magic remote, you can sync that up. It just turns it on and off though. LG sent me a manual, and there’s an app to use. Wish it just used the LG ThinQ app though, I don’t need a bunch of apps just because your product silos are disjointed, LG. Anyway, this sounds great. Played the Skyrim OST and it was amazing! Great find for an open box item! If you’re shopping and as frustrated as I am that nobody includes pictures of the IO (LG and Sonos, I’m looking at you) I’ve included a pic for you. These companies are also not clear on the ports and make it sound like there’s only one HDMI. Not so! This does have an HDMI in for your other products in addition to the two-way ARC port. I have a 4K HDMI switch attached to mine.

Worth the money
I was amazed by the sound of this bar. I had an old 6.1 Bose and replaced it with the LG. I was amazed by how powerful the sound that was coming from the sound bar. I bought an LG CX with and had Dolby Atmos and Vision content playing and it was amazing.
