connection Bs5 to Beolab 5 & roles?

Maybe you should reset your BS5. When in Standby mode disconnect from the mains for a few minutes and reconnect. BS5/BM5 will automatically start up.

Set your BS5 to audiomaster:YES, A.OPT.1, BL5:YES. BL5 setting: L.OPT 0

Check the L/R switches on the back of your BL5s. When you change the spdif cable left - right, you have still no sound on the LEFT speaker?

Does it work properly via Powerlink?

Has your BS5 got the last update? If yes, try the CD/A.MEM setting instead of N.MUSIC, N.RADIO.

Your connected TV was a masterlinked Beovision?

all sorted.
i was using a thin powerlink cable between the 2 lab5s.
it now works with the thicker 'fully mounted' powerlink cable.
powerlink cables are NOT the same...
many thanks for replying stefan.

Glad to hear that all is working fine now...
