Like a couple of others - I’m intrigued to know whether the v1 soundcentre can work with the 2020 LG CX oled screens.

It’s an easy answer to getting my Lab 6000’s running with a B&O centre and Beoremote One controlled - but B&O are still investigating ....  

Hi ToeKneeAus

Please have a look on my last post to Mikipedia about my success to make the selfmade Eclipse work with a V1 Soundcenter and my new LG OLED65CS model. The real 'helpful' functions work currently only with my iPhone app and not with the BR1.

As far as I know the SoundCenter Eclipse MK1 has a shape that is made specifically for the B&O version of the C7 panel. That one is not the same cut out as newer panels. A few people have used SoundCenter Eclipse MK1 with other screens such as CX and I think that have worked well. But this is not an official solution and requires you to mount the panel/tv separately if you can not make a custom mount or such. 

Hi Michael and all

I did mount my LG CX6 (single tuner/speaker in the rear housing) panel simply on the standard provided soundcenter mounting brackets. I had to enlarge slightly the standard opening (for the original LG foot) on each side (left/right) by cutting away 1.5mm on the protruding plastic stops (Dremel or good knife). The screw openings fitted perfectly. I also inserted some shims to tilt the panel more upward instead of leaning back.

The CX model has also the power button and the IR receiver in the middle of the lower edge (underneath). There is enough space available for this protruding part. If you mount then the speaker cover, you are covering the power button and IR receiver and if you want to have the IR receiver work, you have to produce a acrylic prisma (4mm thick plate of about 30x20mm with 45 degree chamfered edge which mirrors the IR signal) and mount it just behind the cover and in front of the screen that it protrudes a little bit over the speaker cover.

Concerning the cut outs on the aluminium backside of the Soundcenter, the panel stands over the rounded backside of the Soundcenter and you could easily make a nice aluminium cover over the whole width of the Soundcenter to cover the openings of these cutouts. I will work on this to make it perfect.

So at the end a nice picture when it's done then.

I got you and i am aware, that the B&O provided ethernet cable has to be connected from the soundcenter to the LG TV. I am also aware, that the Beoremote One BT has to be paired with the soundcenter either by using the B&O app (service) or the little button on the bottom of the soundcenter.

I am already in a discussion with a user 'spezializten' in another Forum https://archivedforum2.beoworld.org/forums/p/28183/301054.aspx#301054 where he states, that he has realized a combination of SC V1 and a LG C9 77" panel and 99% of the functions are working also with the V1 DSSE.

So there is probably a difference from C9 to CX, but where could it be, that the BR1 is making troubles.

You can't drop in the CX panel on a v1 Eclipse. The original Eclipse was a custom panel (in terms of the rear) and how it interacted with the soundcenter. It's not a stock panel where you can drop in a new one.

When the original Eclipse was released, some dealers assumed this would be the case and wrongly told people they'd be able to drop in a new panel later - my dealer told me the same thing. They didn't realise it wasn't a stock C7 panel.

And has Michael has rightly pointed out, the original was designed to mimic the C7 panel, not the CX, so even if you could find a way to drop in a new panel, the bottom part would look wrong and not match the CX design!

You'd be better off selling the Eclipse v1 ASAP. You'd still get a half-reasonable price for it, then move up to the v2.

So the soundcenter of the v2 eclipse can work with any, some, only the ones that have the a9 processor or all LG OLED panels?

Sorry if this has been asked before but I am getting a bit confused.

It can work with all OLED Screens from 2019 and 2020 except the B series which have the A7 processor.

Does anyone know when the V2 65 inch is due out??

But how about the slit on top of the soundcenter? isn't it cut specifically for GX to have the seamless fit?

My reply is only relevant if you want to use the soundcenter as a more capable Beosound Stage/Beosystem 4

I you want motor stand, or the possibility to make it fit together, you have to buy a Soundcenter 55" and a GX 55"
