BeoLab 6000 on LG OLED65C8

15 replies

Hello All

I am here because i am having a small Problem and my local Bang & Olufson dealer does not know how to resolve it without spending over 4k in new products. Or he just doesn't want to... :) 

 

I have a LG OLED65C8 and two BeoLab 6000, i would like to connect them without spending a lot of money on an AVR. 

What are my options ? I tried to use the Headphonejack on the TV but this results in horrible sound. Sadly the tv has no other analog outputs. 

 

Thanks a lot in advance. 

Mike

Hi Mike,

Welcome to Beoworld!

Yes, I can help!  Basically, you have three options if you wish to use the speakers with a non-B&O TV:-

 

1) Connect two Beolab speakers to the headphone socket of the TV for stereo sound, with volume control from the TV remote, or

2) Connect the TV and all of the Beolab speakers to a Beosound music system (if you have one) for stereo sound through all speakers, with volume control from the B&O remote, or

3) Add an external AV receiver with pre-out sockets (expect to pay from around £500 GBP in the UK) to allow all of the speakers to be connected for full surround sound with control from the receiver remote control, or

4) Add a pre-owned Beosystem 3 or 4 for surround sound, although this will limit you to 1080p picture resolution.

 

I can help with the connections for any of the above options.  If you can please let me know your preferred option, I will be pleased to advise on the cabling required.

Buy a beosound core. Best option.

then you also have a music system with your beolab 6000, When you not want to see TV.

you need an pre-amplifier with volum control. 
So beosound core is the best option.
yes you can buy cheaper box from other Brand, but not work the same.

 

 

hi 

 

thanks for all the sugesstions.

@Steve: 

1. I tryd that, sounds horrible

2. I do not have a BeoSound music system

3. Sounds good, but those AV Receivers with pre-out sockets are a bit expensive... 

4. Not an option, i have 4K TV and 4K content is getting more


@andybandy

The thing with the BeoSound Core is that i cant control volume with the TV remote or a Logitech Harmony, right ? 

 

I forgoth to mention, that i use a Apple TV on this TV and i have a Logitech Harmony Hub, so if i could use one remote for everything that would be amazing. 

 

Sounds like a AV Receiver is the only way to go, to keep it simple...

Buy a HDMI ARC audio extractor:

This model is the one I use with my LG C7.

Fixes all the issues you have.

Interessting, and volume control still works ?

Yes. Some units has developed noise on the 3.5mm (it is amplified).

The rca outputs have no noise, but they won’t let you blast full volume.

Plug and play 😁
I have used my Beolab 6000 columns on my TV for years, via the headphone output. I just bought a 3.5 jack to RCA adapter. 😊

They auto-mute and wake up without any issues.

No need to buy anything else really.

Oh, and Chromecast/Google home does play Spotify music too.

But I don’t use it for that.

The LG Bx and Cx Oleds has noise on the six output. That is why an external device is needed.

My current set-up I have the LG projector (same same processing as the new LG TV you have) headphone out to a Beosound Core and Core connected to BL 11, which are then connected to BL 6000. The sound is excellent for my bedroom. I went with the Core because I can just AirPlay music now without. needing to turn on the Projector. However, even direct connection from TV to BL 11 via headphone out sounds good to me.

I don't have any AVR in any of my set ups (see my sig) and happy with the sound quality.
