actually the couch can be flipped in both directions. Have a look

That looks great hfat,

Which projector are you using and how are you controlling it and the DNP screen? Is it connected to the cinema out on the BeoSystem 3 directly or do you have an interface between?

Hi Elms,

How are you running the 5.1 signal to your speakers - are you using an AV preamp or such? I am curious to find out the best way to run Beolabs from a non B&O TV in a surround sound context. Great setup btw!

Cheers, Jon

i'm using a JVC X9 projector, which is controlled by BS3 cinema out connected to a Lintronic box. The Lintronic -238 box is triggered by digital input signal an sends out IR signals for projector and screen.

Thanks Evan - so are these Rotels good for plugging a full set of Beolabs into via their phono connectors?

He got it right! Yes, the Rotel is fantastic for this purpose. The Rotel I have is purely a surround preamp, so it is very clean. I would argue that unless you have a beosystem processor it is the best way to drive a B&O surround system. I have all of my beolabs hooked up via line out, and I plan on wiring a trigger wire up so they switch on and off with the Rotel (the Rotel has trigger outputs, but they are 12v instead of 5v). All of my inputs are via optical in or rca line in directly from the source. Works great, and the Rotel gives you a TON of control over your sound. Maybe too much control, as I find new options every day that I haven't tried before.

EDIT: I forgot to add, that the Rotel is capable of doing a full 7.2 B&O surround system via the phono connectors. I currently have 5.2 channels plugged in. Front: beolab 6000, Center: one beolab 4000 (had to crank the preamp WAY up on this, a pair would be better), Rear: beolab 4000, Sub(s): Two Bowers and Wilkins ASW 600

My $200 purchase and maybe $100 worth or parts.  Feel pretty lucky to have such a nice setup. BM 5000, BG CD50, BG 8002, BC5000, RL 60.2's.
