Beosound 8 lights

2 replies

When my iPhone is docked to BS 8, if I play music i can see a green light. However, docking my iPad, it shows orange even when it's playing music. According to the handbook, it should turn green while playing and orange when paused/muted? It's really not a problem but I wonder if that is normal?

 

I wondered about that, as it happens here too, and assumed it meant the iPod/iPad was being charged, perhaps?

One thing that shocked me the other day, I went to turn on the BS8 and it wouldn't turn on. Nor would it charge the connected iPad. The iPad had to be charged through mains first before returning it to the BS8. Oddness.
