Hello guys, I'm new here and I hope this is the right place for asking this kind of question. I just got a B&O, home theater system that include a Beolab 9000, 8000 and 6000. Originally everything was connected to a B&O TV, but I would like to connect it to my 2019 Samsung TV. 

Currently I have a beosystem 2500 connected to it using a 3.5mm jack audio to 8-pin and a optical-to-analog audio converter as my TV support only bluetooth, optical and HDMI Arc audio.

Now to my question.. to connect the Beolab 9000 to my TV what would you suggest? Should I keep current setup with 3.5mm to optical-analog converter? Or are there any other better solution to have better audio quality + surround 5.1 ?

Thank you very much for your help guys!!

Connect the TV to the 9000 to the AUX input. Sounds Heavenly can probably give you a cable. You can then connect the 8000/6000 into left and right so that that you have a pair on the left and a pair on the right. You won’t get full 5.1 audio but you’ll get great audio. I currently connect a pair of 8000 plus a BL 2 sub to a Sony OLED and the audio is great. Because of the way the TV works I get left, right, center (the TV screen) and the subwoofer. I did try to put a pair of 6000 in the rear but found the experience artificial since the system is not a true 5.1 system.

best would be to ditch the 9000 and connect everything to an AV receiver and add a subwoofer to the mix.

my 2 cents worth.

Yeah the problem is that I would like to have 8000 on the front and 6000 on the back. So maybe the best thing to do is, as you said, using an AV receiver and connect the speakers with the Line input right? 

Thank you and sorry for the delay in the reply.
