I’m using a Beosound Core. Do you mean the 2-way communication between beoremote and the c9 is facilitated via the core?
No, with the Core you can have sound from a tv using the optical input.....nothing more, nothing less.
You can control the/communicate with the Core using the BROne, but there is no way it can recognize a tv/the C9 this way.

I don’t think it’s a b&o restriction at all, iam 98% sure it’s something LG mandates. There is atleast another panel type that they’re testing on beyond the C range as i’ve been told.
John from B&O Manchester mentioned the LG Z9, which is the 88" 8K OLED from LG. This panel will probably be the screen for the 88" Harmony. The Z8 can be used with the Stage too.
Otherwise you'll have to hope for BeoSystem 5...
The only differences between the C9 & E9 are the speakers in the E9 and the plastic cosmetic trim. Other than that they share the same processor and panel. The C9 is the choice of panel for the Harmony as it sits flush to the top of the speakers and it doesn’t require the in built LG speakers, the later is the same for when partnering it to a Stage.That would imply that the E9 should be okay since it also has an upgraded processor? I honestly don't think it is about processor performance and if anything would be a forced software lisoftware because the B&O harmony is a C9 underneath so that's the only platform they've actually done testing for.
I was told, that the app appears in the LG C9 menu, if e.g. the stage is connected to the tv. Otherwise it is hidden.
The screen needs to be updated to version 4.0.6 first which currently is only available to dealers via USB. You then switch off the screen and back on again. Download the B&O app from the LG content store and pair the BR1 to the stage.I was told, that the app appears in the LG C9 menu, if e.g. the stage is connected to the tv. Otherwise it is hidden.
I would like to know if the Beoremote One BT can be Bluetooth-paired directly with LG C9 (without BeoSound Stage or Harmony). I think LG’s original remote seems very “cheap and plastic-like” compared to the design and materials B&O stand for. For instance, I love the fact that it can be Bluetooth-paired directly with Apple TV4
Hope for a positive answer - and let me know all the details about what will work with LG C9 - and not, thanks.

Ditto... Given how the thread started out you get the impression that the remote can indeed control the C9, but then it starts to sound more and more like it's only the specifc case that a BS Stage is connected via HDMI
You can’t!
The LG/C9 s controlled via the BS Stage.
You will need the direct physical connection (the ethernet cable) to establish the communication between both - in addition to the HDMI/CEC connection.
And you need a specific sw/app installed on the LG.
