What is missing here is the possibility to control the sound center via an web/smartphone app like the Stage. The Soundcenter for both Harmony and Eclipse are very limited in the current B&O app. You need to have the WebOS App on the LG to control it. If this can be solved, I guess mo problem at all.
Well my wait for V1 sound centre to add to my 55 CX and attach my lab 6000's too - seems to have flipped to a V2 sound centre.
This is a no brainer for me if B&O will support it (that a phone call yet to make) and of course a custom mount for the sound centre if i want to keep my BV7-40 stand which im very attached too.
Hi Christian,
I have the following setup:
Ethernet cable to SoundCenter
Ethernet cable from SoundCenter to LG
LG is no configured for Wifi and gets it's internet from the cable to the SoundCenter.
LG Configuration shows "Not connected"
Maybe the TV is confused which network to use to talk to the soundcenter. Try to remove the wifi connection from it and see what happens. Also try a different cable between the LG and the SoundCenter.

Hi flatwhite
Thx for your clarifications. I have now a new C9 standing at my home which i attached to the Soundcenter. Compared to my tries to make the CX work, i had more success with the C9, where the sound level is now working and also chosing the source. Is it correct, that changing the source means to switch the configuration off with the BR1 and restart it by choosing the right source on the BR1?
Also with the C9 combination, the wired ethernet connection is displayed 'not connected' as soon as i start the B&O app on the TV. Before starting, it displays 'Connected to the internet'. Quite weird.
Which LG and Soundcenter SW (3.60.xx or the newest 5.10.xx) version are you running on your configuration?
In addition, the PQ of the C9 is horrible compared to the CX and also to my former E7. The picture is very often dimmed very dark. Do you also see such effects and could you correct them?
Regards
Christian
So is it common practice for US dealers to sell the v2 Sound Center and stand or wall mount separately (I.e., without a GX panel)?
If i get a 55” in 2021, I would rather bring my own panel as I can get one near cost. Is it common for dealers to sell the other components piecemeal? Or will I be forced to purchase the panel too?
