Dear All

I switched from Beovision 8-40 to AVANT 55 and I connected the same sub-woofer (non B&O  it is a KEF) to the TV.

The sub-woofer is amplified and would automatically switch on as soon as the signal arrive.

No problem with BV8-40. With the new Avant I can only connect it as LINE ( but then the volume on the sub can not be modified by the TV). Otherwise the unit is marked as missing ( I tried as BEOLAB 2 or BEOLAB 11).

The cable I used is basically converting the signal wires from powerlink cable  in RCA standard plug.

 

Any suggestion or recommendation ?

Regards

Hello,

 

Perhaps you could try the other alternative product. If I remember correctly there is also another speaker you could chose instead of LINE. One with volume controls (NON B&O). Have to look at home but I am quite sure there is one. 

I think BeoVision Avant might listen for a signal from a PL-enabled speaker and that is why it won't power on your subwoofer if you select a BeoLab. I notice that my Avant detects when there is a speaker connected or not also on my system.

regards,
Michael

Hello

actually I tried also the option "OTHER" but it gives me the same indication. Loudspeaker missing.

I do not know how AVANT detect the presence of loudspeaker.  However I has to disconnect the BELOAB 8000 ( front) for some maintenance and teh AVANT indicated them to be missing. Maybe some return on the switching on control ?

Regards
