Hi Guys,

I just have my new setup up and running from a few days. A new Beovision 7-40, connected to a pair of BL4000 and a BL11.
The BS5 Encore is  connected to a BM7000 and this latest on the TV, via the classic  ML/MCL converter box.

Watching TV is a real pleasure, but When listening to music coming from the Encore, It is like the BL4000 and the BL11 where not playing together anymore. 
I Loose the harmony I had before when the BL4000 where connected directy to the BL11, and the BL11 to the BM7000. The BL11 is properly configures on ext since BL4000 are not connected anymore to it.

Is there a setting I missed, on the beovision or is the beosystem 3 included functionning like this.  I played with the sound settings of the TV, try to give more volume on the sub, but it is still not as it was before.

Any ideas ?

Thanks for your help,

I suspect that when you are listening to music (in what must be A.AUX mode ?) that the BV7 is running in Speaker 2 mode (L+R) and not using the BV7's sub-woofer connection - to confirm this just check if the BL11's green/red dot goes on and off as you switch between video mode and music mode.  

If the green dot is permanently on, then perhaps the BV7 is not extracting the low end signals from the A.AUX connection for forwarding to the BL11.

Have you tried seeing if Speaker 2 versus Speaker 3 mode makes a difference in your configuration (again watch the BL11's lights) ?

I presume that:

• you did not previously have a B&O TV
• you are wanting to attach the BL11 to the BV7 x.1 audio channel so that you can enjoy the audio special effects in movies ?

as the alternative is to revert to the previous --> BL11 --> BL4000 pass through connection, but this would result (I suspect) in a degrading of your current cinematic experiences.

Thanks for your advices,

You are right, it is my first beovision, and since it is fixed on the wall, i cannot play with the connections :-(

I will check this evening, but i am pretty certain the green light stays on all the time. i will try switching from TV to AV.MEM (for audio) and let you know.

For the speaker mode how do you change it ?

i did not find it in the menus, I just red in the userguide that you need to activate the Adaptive Sound Technology, am I right ?

Since I just have a pair a beolab and the BL11, and a beo4, it is set to off. Is it usefull with such a setting ?

Regards

To change speaker-setting, simply press "LIST" on BEO4 until "SPEAKER" appears in the display. Now press 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 depending on the speaker mode you want.

If  "SPEAKER" is not in your list, you will have to add it.
Press the standby-button and the "LIST" button at the same time. Now press "GO" to enter the "ADD" menu. Press "GO" again to enter "AV". Use the navigation buttons to find "SPEAKER" and press "GO". This will add "SPEAKER" to your list. 

Hi,

It does not work, I Turn on the BV7' select speaker 2 or 3, nothing happens, and in the sound menu under sound system it is still display speaker mode 1 (BL11 is functionning)

the speaker setup is the following : center speaker BL4000 dubble and BL11

I confirm the green light stays on when switching from tv to AV.AMEM

I checked the service menu via the 0 0 GO function, but no other settings under sound.

Thanks for your help

Subwoofer is not active in speaker mode 1

updated with an edit re BV7 model number

at a minimum you should see at the top of the screen something that looks like this

[ SPEAKER 2 ]

(or 3) which fades within a few seconds; you should be able to press [EXIT] to then jump the Beo4/BV out of Speaker mode and into its source mode (TV, DTV, whatever you used to start it).

If you are finding that there is nothing that switches it out of SPEAKER 1 (which is just using the centre speaker as a mono) then I am confused ....

.... and this might explain what is going on.

Can you draw a character diagram of how you have all the speakers connected to the back of the BV7 (I have forgotten which model you have, I checked, its a BV7-40, and that's the manual I took this clip from) but look at this diagram of a "typical" BV7's rear and tell us where each speaker is connected please:

 

I confirm that nothing happens with the speaker function of the beo4. Is it possible to block some beo4 functions ?

I have some probs to post images with the Ipad, so I will try to explain it with words.

I have no access to rear pannel, since I have the small wall bracket, I will ask my dealer tomorrow, he should remember.

Via the menu sound I have this

Speaker type :

Center 1 beolab 4000 / pair

Speakers :

Beolab 11

Speaker role :

Center 1 center

Speakers : subwoofer

Sound system

Input format PCM 2.0

Output format :

Stereo

Speaker 1

The Bl11 is functionning, watching tv is a pleasure, but music via the BS5e is strange

I am not sure I fully understand your transcription, so on the next 5 ! posts I am going to put up the 5 pages of the BV7-40 reference manual (circa 2008) for you just in case you do not have a copy of the manual 

But first let me provide an extract of what each of the speaker ports is meant to be used for ..................

CENTRE 1

For connection of a centre speaker such as BeoLab 7. For further information about connecting speakers, refer to the speaker’s own Guide.

POWER LINK 1–6

These sockets are used for connecting the external speakers in a surround sound setup.

1(SUB)

Socket used for connecting up to two Bang & Olufsen subwoofers. A cable splitter for such connections is available from your Bang & Olufsen retailer.
