Avant - Is this possible? Auto speaker group selection

3 replies

Hi all

I have a question regarding my Avant 85". I have two BeoLab 5 fronts, and two BL3 for the rear. I am using the avant speaker as a Center. 

One of the sources I have for example is an Apple TV (it's actually a media Center PC, but same in principle), and I listen to both music and watch movies on it. 

Here is what I want to achieve:

- The source is on "music" sound mode by default. And the default speaker group is the "2.0 / BeoLab 5" speaker group which distributes the music out of the two front BeoLab 5's ONLY.

- When I start watching a movie (Dolby digital/DTS etc) I want it to automatically select the "5.1" speaker group which is configured to use ALL speakers i.e. The two BeoLab 5's for the front, Avant for the Center, and the BeoLab 3's for the rears. 

Is this possible? Or anything close to this? Or do I have to manually change the speaker group each time I want to watch a movie, or vice-versa depending on what speaker group I have set the source to use by default. 

Could I configure the "Adaptive" sound mode to do this? To alternate between the 2.0 speaker group for music, and 5.1 for movies?

 

Thanks

Dont think so!

But if you have a Beoremote one you can assign this to "My buttons"
