waiting a long time doesnt necessarily mean the product had a long development time....

leaving out BT seems either (a) an oversight or (b) a strange but deliberate omission.

If its (a), that suggests the product development was a bit lacking or a bit hurried.

If its (b) i'd love to know why BT was deliberately left out, assuming this is indeed the case (i.e. no BT)

It's down to the architecture, which for the Video & Video sound part is : LG.

No more no less!  Even the Eclipse manual says: "LG describes..."

Face it: The days of The BeoSys are gone and when you cant touch the video part, compromises are inevitable.

FunFact : The LG TVs usually have a VERY comprehensive Service menu, But The Eclipse is not a stock C7, - or is it ? 👍

Let the games begin.

Quickly ?!?!?

Doesn’t the strategic alliance go back the days of Tue ?

I felt we waited two years for this product !

I heard about an LG/B&O tv round about one and a half years before it actually hit the shops.

Of course B&O could not use the stock LG audio software (which includes BT-out).

That would have meant, that you would only get sound from the sources of - or connected directly to - the LG tv-part.

How about waiting for some kind of official explanation, why there is no output.....from the SoundCenter.

I for one would love to get an "official explanation" but I'm not convinced we're ever going to get one. I've been waiting some considerable time already without a hint of an answer!

You won’t get one or they will tell you it’s by design, or maybe it’s the same obscure reason why the BV11 does not have a headphones jack - I gave up trying to figure out B&O’s feature implementation process...

BT output is part of the LG TV so you can only send audio via BT from the sources connected to the pane itself, not the Soundcenter.

We have two pairs of Bang & Olufsen Bluetooth headphones, H9’s and H8’s  each being connected to a separate iPhone.  If both headphones are switched on both iPhones get confused and end up stopping both headphones! Neither of the headphones will connect to the Eclipse!  We usually end up connecting the headphones to the iPhone by the 3.5mm lead/jack.  

 

Strange. My wife and I are in the same situation, but as long as you pair each headphone to a single device (you cannot rename them so you will always see “Beoplay H7” for example) our idevices di not get confused, we often use them at the same time (until we kick the baby out of our room!). 

We also connected two BT adapters to the BV10 headphone jack and while the quality is not great (lot of white noise) it works.

I was not aware of that. Even B&O official website does not mention it... crazy.

For what would you need this decoding capacity in the SoundCenter?

Many Blu-Ray nowadays are DTS-HD Master Audio (or Dolby TrueHD, still unsupported by B&O).
