Connecting a Panasonic TX- P65VT50E to a pair of BL9

3 replies

Hello B&O community,

Long time I don't post. A friend of mine gor from me a pair of BL9s and he is trying to connect them to a Panasonic TX-P65VT50E. I initially told him he could do it by connecting a BS3200 or a BS4 to the Panny TV and the labs to the BS and that should be it, however in looking at the TV specs and browsing here and there I see this is not that simple. These is the spec sheet for the TV:

Hello Gustatvo,

To make the Beosound option work:

To connect VT50 to Besound you can use analoge sound from AV1 as it is in/out (see BeoIce's post here /forum/general-discussion-and-questions/flash-your-bampo---new-thread

To make BS2 work:

You will need an ir-Eye to control BS2

You will need a converter from optical digital sound to coax. digital sound

You will need a jumter between pins 2+3, otherwise BS2 will not start

You should use 3 speakers with BS2 (Center + Stereo)

to connect Beolabs directly:

you have to get analoge sound signal (see answer a) and connect to BeoLabs' line in. They will turn on/off as line signal is present.

.... or you can use a much cheaper alternative with a Panasonic to BeoLink converter like the one below:
