Beolab 3 to LG TV connection

17 replies

Hi Steve 1977,

Yes, you can add a Beolab 11 and Beolab 3s, please use this cable from the TV headphone socket to the Beolab 11 (please note that this is a specially wired cable, not a standard DIN to RCA cable):-

link

The Beolab 3 speakers will then plug into the two output sockets on the Beolab 11 using standard Powerlink mk.3 cables (one cable is needed for each speaker):-

Got it, this is a bit confusing. So, the BL2 requires a powered cable, while the BL11 does not. Sorry for asking more questions, but like to make sure that I have understood everything and will buy the right cables.

I have not decided yet whether I will connect my BL2 or BL11 to my non-B&O TV (one stays with my BV7, the other one goes to non-B&O). Currently, my BV2 is connected to the BV7 (in surround setup). If I were to attach the BL11 to my BV7 instead, would I require a different cable or is it as easy as just switching it out. This would probably be my preference and then I would attach the BL2 to non-B&O with the cable above. However, I don't want to turn this into a nightmare and would keep the BL2 attached to the BV7 if this makes life easier. Advice appreciated.

Also, appreciate if you take a brief look at my other thread (/forum/general-discussion-and-questions/multiroom-with-mlnl-converter#post-2049869). I'd like to bundle my cable purchase to save shipping cost. Thanks!

Hi Steve1977,

Please don't worry, on the Beovision, you can use the same Powerlink mk.3 cable for either subwoofer, it is simply a case of swapping the sub and leaving the cable in place:-

Got it. So, BV to BL2/11 works with the same cable, while there is a different cable for headphone to BL2 vs. BL11? Let me switch them out over the weekend and then place my cable order with you. Thanks again for your help!

Sorry for the late reply but just go the cables/hub. Sounds Heavenly was absolutely fantastic. You were absolutely right, the S8 Hub had the speakers work perfectly with no sound adjustment from the TV remote. Any idea how to remedy this? Thanks, a lot of money invested... hahaha.

Hi diggs2701

Glad to hear that you are happy with the cables!

For TVs with an infrared remote, the B&O website contains setup instructions that explain how to program the S8Hub to accept volume commands from the TV remote when using the TV optical output.

If the TV doesn't have an infrared remote, then you need to use the headphone socket on the TV to connect to the Hub so that the TV can manage the volume sent to the Hub.

Kind regards Steve.

I was able to get the volume to work with the Comcast remote but not the LG. But it works! Thank you all for your help.
