5 replies

Hi

My setup BS5-BM5 / MX8000 Beolab8000 controlled by a beo6!

My qustion is: can I program the system to choose the speaker source I want? E.G. I watch tv - can i choose if I want the sound delivered by the MX8000 or Beolab8000 or a both of them?  Is it possible to program 3 bottoms at Beo6 to switch between the sound sources?

????

If your BM5 and the MX are MasterLinked (and in the same room) just connect the speakers to the tv - and be happy!

Hi MM

yes, I got it all in the same room, however is the beolab only to be connected to BM5.

What I ask is how can I control the 3 speaker units.

On my Beo6 is 3 (until further) unprogrammed bottoms named ( Speaker 1 - Speaker 2 - Speaker 3) I would like to program them for control the speakers. Any who can help me oit?

Hi enslevmark,

In your setup all the speakers should be connected to the TV.

The buttons Speaker 1 - 3 have the following funktions:

Speaker1: Only the TV center speaker is activated

Speaker2: Only left and right speaker connected to the TV are activated

Speaker3: all 3 speakers are activated

Have a look at MX usergude page 11.

Hi hfat,

I have a question on this.

 

I have a BV 7-40 with 2x beolab 8000 and 7.1 center, sub 2

I use the 3 speaker settings button but.. if i play a channel as MTV music the centerspeaker is not activated, rest is working. If i look a talkshow all speakers are activated. Is there a modus to change this?

thanks
