Beo lab 3 linking to Pioneer SC LX-56 Problems (still)

5 replies

Hey guys 

Quick story 

Bought some Beolab 3 speakers (active)

Wouldn't  volume control off my Tv.

Now bought a Pioneer SC LX-56 Av reciever.

Linked them through the pre outs, using rca cables.

But still wont work. 

Any ideas before i give up on these speakers and sell them for some non active speakers. 

Many thanks 

Did you set-up the Pioneer to see the Pre-out Speakers via the microphone?

Hi,

Have you set the speakers to line level? Does your TV have headphone output? If so you could use that and have volume control.

Have you set the switch on each bl3 to Line?

Hi dont want to use the headphone jack as its not the best solution. 

yes the speakers have been put to line but made no difference. 

thanks
