Perhaps if I show how this configuration is wired ?

Elephant, do you experience any lag in your setup when sending masterlink sound to the Core or the Essence? And how about vice versa?

I remember last year, there was some talk in another thread about a Core skii with IR-eye capability. Has anybody picked up any news on this?

Also, is the BeoRemote One able to control the Core?

Our friends in Manchester have a new video up on the Core, but nothing we didn't already know:

Hi all,

I’m a newby to this forum so please be kind. :)

I’m due to receive a pair of BeoLab 20’s and Beosound Core in th next few days. I will connect optical out from my LG TV to the optical in on the core. I will then connect both speakers with PL (cat 7 Ethernet) cables. I’m hoping it will be straight forward to control streaming and volume using the B&O app.

I would like to control volume using the TV remote sometimes, however. The dealer said I would need to purchase a B&O remote and beoeye, which would set me back 700 AUD (approx 550 USD). Seems excessive just to control volume, even by B&O standards. I read that the RCV-3000 IR receiver can plug into the USB port of the Beolab Transmitter 1. Does anyone know if it will work directly into the Beosound Core USB port?

the RCV3000 supposedly works with modern TVs including LG.

50 USD would be much better than 550USD!! 

If it doesn’t work, I might buy a Transmitter and connect it to the optical out of the Core. It will probably set me back the same amount but would give me WISA wireless capability. 

Thanks for for any advice 

RCV3000 only Works with IR, so the newest LG will not Work as they use Bluetooth.

Then you could choose a tv with regulated optical output as Sony.

What I would do, would be purchase an Essense remote, which also would be handy when you use the core for music.

Welcome on Beoworld Shane and congratulations 🙂

I think the Beoplay S8 connection hub may be an other solution for what you want to do (to be confirmed by others)

Please make a search on this forum about LG remote and S8 (the Connection Hub learns the IR commands from your TV remote)

You do not have audio connections as spotify, Airplay and so on, in the connection hub. So I would not go that way.

Has there been any update to the BS Core/BL5 compatibility issue?  I’m looking at buying a core to integrate my BL5s with the rest of my AV system. Right now I’m using my BS9K (aux in) to send audio from my TV and M50.2 to the BL5s. 

Hi alee,

As far as I am aware, there is no change to B&O's "workaround" with the optical to co-axial converter still being needed between the Core and the Beolab 5 speakers.  For your setup, I would suggest keeping the Beolab 5s connected to the Beosound 9000 and linking the Core to the Aux input socket with this cable:-

So Powerlink Core->BL5 is still bad?  That's shocking.
