The heart of the Avant 32 is a digital electronics box (called the US Box in the US). This unit is also in the Beosystem 1 which are available second hand. It is a straightforward swap. If you can get one cheaply it is worth a try. 

thanks, Gregg, I will have a look for the Beosystem 1.

Do you know if there are any technical schemes available showing the construction of the Avant 32?

Hi Shaune,

Welcome to Beoworld!  If you are keeping the Avant 32 TV, the simplest option here is to connect the TV to the Beosound with a Masterlink cable and then you can connect the speakers to the TV to play both TV, CD and Radio to the speakers.  If your TV is a version that doesn't have a Masterlink socket fitted, or if you wish to use the newer TV instead, please email me a photo of the socket panel on the TV via my sponsor link below and I can advise on alternative connections.

Kind regards, Steve.

Sorry Robin,

I had replied to the thread before my first coffee of the day......I have re-read this and updated my post accordingly!  Thanks for spotting this!

Kind regards, Steve.

Hi Steve, I've sent you the photo through your website.

We have already bought a new TV, as I don't think it would be possible to repair the old BO TV. So I need an alternative connection.

Also I wonder if such new connection could support the direct streaming from my telephone or other wireless device to the speakers bypassing the beosound and tv. But this is just nice to have feature. The main goal is to connect the new TV to the speakers, keeping the beosound connected as well.

Thanks Shaune,

I have emailed you a reply.  The simplest option is if the TV has a headphone output, then a direct cable can be used to play the TV sound to the B&O system.  Otherwise an optical to stereo audio converter is needed to allow the optical output of the TV to be used instead (sorry I don't sell these converters, but I can help with cables for either of these options).

Kind regards, Steve.

Yes - if you become a silver or gold member, download the Avant service manual on the Beoworld site. It will show you how it is put together, and how to remove the back cover to the "US" box.
