Hi, I have a problem with the speakers that is connected to the TV, I have 7-2 and beolab 3. I was thinking to use the 7-2 as front and beolab 3 as rears. When I go to the menu i have assigned beolab 3 to the right connections, and then in speakerroles when I try to choose the beolab 3s as left and right surrounds, I is not possible to hit go, nothing happens. Am I missing something here? Is it impossible to only have 7-2 and rears?
Thank you to our Sponsors

I think it is impossible to have rears unless there are fronts.
Agree, I think it is impossible.
i also wonder, why not use the bl3 as front speakers? I would prefer to have a center and two fronts over a center and two rears.

You must first configure the front speakers left and right.
Afterwards, it is possible to configure surround. But perhaps only, when you have a center. So the BL3 might only be configured as rear left/right (not surround left/right) unless you have a center.
Surround is defined as 5.1 or 7.1, hence you might need a center (.1).
Is it impossible to only have 7-2 and rears?
Yes
i Have tried that once asswell back in the days and indeed its impossible...
OK,Thanks for helping.
You might want to talk to your dealer who proposed this solution.
Having wonderful BL3 and buying another BL 7-2 stereo speakers doesn't really make sense. You might want to change the BL 7-2 to 7-4 and then using the BL3 as front left/right (again).
I have BL4 as surround. Yes, not really high capacity speakers. But for our room they fit perfect and nice and for surround, they are great. And the BV7 really has a cool Dolby Engine which creates impressive 5.1 even when getting only PCM sound instead of full DD 5.1.
