So does anyone know if I can use Beolab 4500's with a Beosysetm 3 and use them as my front speakers?

I ask the question as I cant get them to work. I know the speakers work as I connected them into the BS3 as the center and they worked fine but I want to use them as fronts

Thanks

You need to go into the setup of the BeoSystem 3 and tell it that you'll be using front speakers...  I doubt BeoLab 4500 will be in the menu though!  Just tell it that a pair of BeoLab 4000 are fronts - that should do it.

Also, if you're using Mk2 PowerLink Cables the displays should also work on them...

Cheers Lee,

I had tried this but still couldn't get it to work. Could i be missing a trick?

Aside of the display you'll find a switch (stby, audio, video). Slide them to video

Ive tried this and I can hear the relay in the speaker clicking in when i turn the TV on but no sound is coming out? I also have the display working on the speaker

Do you actually have a centre speaker connected?

Yes Im using a Beolab 10 out of the "Center" power link connection on the BS3 and have connected the 4500's to power link 2 and 3

I have sound out of the Beolab 10 but none from the 4500's

I think it's a set-up issue...

Is the menu black and white, or grey?

Do the stdby lights switch from red to green? 

If not, try a fully wired PL cable (pin1 needed to switch on your BL4500s) or solder bridge from pin4 to pin1.

Do your BLs click when you press the mute button?

Thanks for all your help guys!

The menu on the BeoVision 4 is a black background with grey writing. When the text is selected the writing turns white with a grey strip

The standby light on the BL's is red when the TV is off and when turned on the LED goes out and the display on the speaker turns on

The BL's do nothing when the mute button is pressed

Thanks
