Hello

mabey somebody hase experience whit this
 
i went to the store and watched a movie first whit
2xbl8000(second time whit 2xbl 9)
1xbl 2
1x7.2
2xbl6000
 
The sound was great just if i was in the movie both of the set-up was great
 
then i listened the same movie on
2xbl 5
1xbl 7.2
2xbl 6000
 
the sound was very clear and pure but there was missing something it was the bl2 i didnt get the
movie experience (also the staff heard it for the first time)
then we added the bl 2 dirrectly to the bv9 but we didnt heard anything
then we connected the bl2 directly to the bl5 but we didnt heard any difrents than before
then in the set-up menu we only changed the name of bl5 to bl9
an then the bl2 get signal and the sound was perfect
do you have some experience whit this

I'd be amazed if the BL2 added anything at all to the (correctly setup) BL5's - in fact I would think it would actually spoil the reproduction.

My only advice would be to check all settings on the BV9 and BL5 calibration - something definitely appears adrift!

Yeah, there's no way you really need a BL2 with the BL5s! Indeed, it's superfluous with the BL9s, I found.

I think the subwoofer output will be disabled, when you assign the front speaker outputs to BL5. LFE channel will be routed to the front speakers - to BL5. If you were missing bass on the BL5 maybe the speakers were not correctly calibrated...(?)

Hello stefan

when you use bl5 the subwoofer output is disabled and the signal goes to the

bl5 but i t was not so great as a bl2 maybe they did something wrong in the store

As said earlier don't expect to hear the BL2 if BL5's are selected in the menu.

My guess at the reason - "Also the staff was amezed and didint understand it...................."

If this can happen, it kind of makes you wonder how many incorrectly set up home cinemas there are in B&O owners' homes?

No - I'm sure there are many satisfied BL5 owners here (not me unfortunately) who will testify to their outstanding performance in "5.1" mode (although the .1 isn't really there).

I feel pretty sure the problem you experienced was a set up issue - can you try again in a different dealer?
