Hi HardCopy,

thanks for that info!

I had allways thought, that you can only connect  to one of these inputs - means that you'd have to choose either one or the other...

Has this always been so, or is it a new feature, that has come with a SW-update?

P.S.

If you connect e.g. a turntable to the L/R line input, how will you be able to control the volumen???

Good question, you probably need a phono amp any way so get one with volume control.

There is an IR receiver for the Transmitter 1 (RCV3000) for you to control volume level on the toslink input - but I have never messed around with this option, sorry (beklager).

BeoLab Transmitter 1* now offers IR support for Samsung, LG, Sony TV’s! Bang & Olufsen is happy to announce the immediate availability of the RCV3000 IR receiver. RCV3000 makes it possible to connect a Samsung, LG or Sony TV to the BeoLab Transmitter 1 while still using the TV’s own remote to control the volume level. The TV can be connected to the BeoLab Transmitter 1 via TOSLINK or fixed line-out RCV 3000 key features - RCV3000 is connected directly to the BeoLab Transmitter 1 via the included USB cable - RCV3000 requires no batteries to operate as the power is provided directly from the USB interface - RCV3000 captures IR signals from the latest generation of Samsung, LG and Sony remote controls** - RCV3000 passes on the following volume commands to BeoLab Transmitter 1: o Volume up / volume down /mute / de-mute Specifications and prices Dimensions: 50 x 50 x 19 mm Cable length: 1.5 meter Availability: Now Part no.: 6271259, Requires SW v1.1 ** Check BeoWise for further information on compatibility *** Check retail system for price in local currency Tip: You can ask the customer to bring his Samsung, LG or Sony remote control to your shop for a test, if you are in doubt whether his remote will work with the RCV3000.

Thanks again.

great news for those, who think that they must live without a B&O-tv ☺️

Is there a list of compatible remotes/tv-models?

Thanks for your help.  I was worried that I could only plug one source into the reiceiver because there is no option to switch between them.  The setup will probably be: Project turntable into Essence via a phono preamp. And Essence and TV into the transmitter.  Sending the sound to beolab 17.  I used to have beolab 3 but sold them two years ago.  Was not going for anther B&O solution but then I heard the lab 17s.  

Transmittter 1 and Essence have arrived.  No cables with them except power cords.  Now have to get something to connect them and then send the signal to a used pair of beolab 17s.  Hoping it will all sound good when up and running.

BS Essence and Transmitter 1 just connects using an ethernet cable from PL out on Essence to PL in on Transmitter 1 (use an ethernet with shielding, typically recognizable with metal male connector caps).

Connect to the Essence with RCA or optical/toslink inputs from your source.
