morning chaps - i have an apple tv connected to a BV 7-40, with a pair of lab 9's and a BS9000.

I only use the apple tv to listen to my i-tunes library and extremely rarely use it to download a film. The problem that is bugging me and i can't seem to work out a solution, is that when i listen to music via the apple tv, the sound comes out of the centre speaker on the tv in conjunction with the lab 9's. I have the apple tv programmed as VMEM and connected to the tv via a HDMI lead to the HDMI ''a'' port. The BS9000 works absolutely fine coming out of 2 speakers when playing. I have the default settings for the TV set for 3 speakers and for MUSIC 2 speakers. I realise i can manually override it, by changing the default settings to 2 speakers each time, but wondered if anyone has a better solution?

many thanks

David

just an idea: why not connecting hte Audio Out of ATV to the Aux on BS9000? Then you use A.Aux for ATV Music and VMEM for ATV Video.

 

Think it is worth a try.

There is unfortunately no way to change this. The AppleTV is connected with HDMI and IS a video source. The only solution is to manually override it. That is also something that bothers me as i still think B&O should allow individual settings for every input, Speakersetup, audiodelay etc.

thanks guys - unfortunately the ATV sits on a bracket behind the 7-40 and is too far away from the BS9000 to connect to it.

Looks like it's going to be a manual process to turn off the centre speaker when listening to music

thanks again

I have no idea which remote you have, but if it's a Beo5 you could add a buttome specificaly for music which selects the source and switches to speaker 2.

Does the Apple-TV puts out Audio on the analog RCA sockets simoultanesly to HDMI? Than you could just add an RCA-audiocable (e.g. 10m long) and connect the Apple TV to the A.Aux port of your BS9000.

I have a similar set-up using the HDMI. Just program the DTV button for the ATV and use "pmute" (picture mute) and the center speaker will shut off.
