You will need an interconnecting link cable too, speak to Steve @ Sounds heavenly.

You will need the beo4 to turn them on in option 1.

If you don't like it I suppose you could leave them on, I think they draw something like 1 watt in idle.

Thank you for the help, I bought the cable from Steve and a Beo4. All is working perfectly. Love the sound.

I am in a similar situation. I currently have Beolab 5s connected to an MX7000 television using Powerlink. I also wish to connect a Sonos system (Wyred 4 Sound 24bit/96kHz modded unit) to the Beolab 5s using tthe Digital coax connection. 

Is it possible to have a B&O television, and non-B&O audio connected at the same time?

What cables do I need?

What option do I set the speakers to so that both B&O and non-B&O equipment will work?

thanks

Adam

Is it possible to have a B&O television, and non-B&O audio connected at the same time?

==> No! If you are using the Options 1 or 4 the Powerlink is turned of and you have to switch on the Speakes with the Beo4

What option do I set the speakers to so that both B&O and non-B&O equipment will work?

==> Option 1 or 4 - means switch on the speakers with LINK - RADIO (Option 4 - if you have an other B&O Radio Source) or RADIO (Option 1)

@all: The Speakers have a fantastic DAC - if possible please use the Digital In. Everything else it's like driving a Porsche with the handbrake on.

buy a b&o music system. for example a second hand Overture. it will not set you back alot. connect your powerlinks here and your spdif from sonos to bl5. When you select the cd source on you music system the spdif signal from your sonos is preferred by your bl5s and you control volume and everything with your beo4. of course you also need to connect tv and music system if you stil want tv audio out on your bl5s.

@kimchr: do you have this setup?

I would not recommend a Beosound Ouverture. During listening Music from your Sonos, you have to play a CD, otherwise the Ouverture goes into Standby mode (and the Beolabs are switching off). You can also buy a Beomaster 6500 or Beomaster 7000 without a CD Player and select CD as source. The Beomaster will stay on till you press the standby button on your remote. If you connect an IR eye to the Beomaster you can put them in a cabinet...
