Hi All,

Need a little advice on setting up please:

I have a Beomaster 7000 and BeoVision 7 32 MK5 and I want to use the Penta III's from my music system as part of the surround system but still be the music systems main speakers.

The rears are BeoLab 4's and I have at my disposal a 1611 convertor if needed.

Ideas on the best way to hook up and access please?

Thanks

You will notice a change in sound from the units on the Beomaster when connecting the speakers to the tv.

But for surround setup, it is the only proper way.

many thanks leo

would I connect the Penta's into the TV and make the TV the master (or if I'm going to loose Penta quality playing music should I opt using different front speakers)

I was wondering if anyone else had noticed!

I am slowly working on integrating a BeoCenter 2300 with my BV10 and noticed my BL8000s sounded very different when connected to the BV10 compared to when I was listening to music through the BC2300 with the BL8000s connected directly.

I forgot one option.

Use a powerlink to rca from the BV yo the Pentas.

And a powerlink from the 7000 to the Pentas.

Just flick the switches when you change source. 😁
