One more thing to concider in a further step:

From your first post I understand that you have BL1’s and BL6000’s connected to the system.

However, you won’t be able to set these up for multichannel/surround unless you also have a center channel speaker connected/configured.

Just in case you are wondering!

You can set the two pairs up as ‘double stereo’, but that does not make much sense imo.

MM, It is a glorious day, after hours of troubleshooting I finally found the issue with the flickering, i had to set the video resolution to 1080p at 50 Hertz (usually reserved for Europe). Typically in the US it is 60 hertz! It was a small thing in the end that dragged out for hours, but now the picture is stable and the sound is in perfect harmony :-) so happy to have had your creative problem solving approach , I would have never gotten it set up on my own really. You really saved the day.

the Apple Remote code I have pre installed on the Beosys3 allows me to shut off and turn on the new Apple TV 4k , but i cant navigate through the menu or do anything further with my Beo4, so i resort to using the Apple Remote for now. i suspect the PUC codes need to be updated along with the LG TV codes too, which Ill mail it halfway across the country to the service store - unless you or someone happens to know if I can obtain and install the latest codes myself by chance?

you have perfectly anticipated my next move ;-) and I am simply awaiting the center beolab 7.4 to arrive, to complete my 5.1 setup. Im slowly getting more familiar with the menus and settings so feeling great overall about what ive tested so far!

the last real issue that remains is integrating my beosound 3200. I also suspect it may be a cable i just got from Ebay. I confirm the V.option (2) and A.option (0) and turned it off for a while then on, but the beosound 32000 remains inoperable (as you explained already which is normal). My next step is trying another one.

Overall, this really seemed impossible for months and now its actually done and very much thanks to your kind guidance and taking the time! I cant thank you enough really, everyone (dealers, B&O, sellers etc) i spoke with directed me to a technican but your openness make all the difference

As a follow up to the Beosound 3200 issue over Masterlink, i still dont have it working but read on another thread back in year 2020 that by turning Power Saving Mode off in from Menu and choosing Options, this will enable Masterlink connections. The thing is I dont see Power Saving Mode as an option in the Menu. Perhaps the Beosystem3 software needs to be updated?

The person in the thread I am referencing mentioned having the same issue but no reply thereafter so assuming it was fixed somehow, but maybe its my wishful thinking

It’s been a joy trying to help you.

You are a quick learner and - first of all - you provide immediately feedback here.

I have often experienced people asking for advice here - after spending time on trying to help, I often never hear from he/she, who asked again.

That is very disappointing……but such seems to be life.

This way the thread here can provide help for other people with the same setup wishes - so thanks for your feedback.

Would be nice if you could post a couple of pictures, once you are done……beoworlders are very keen on photos of other peoples setup 🤗

Enjoy your setup - and enjoy the movies and the music.

Take your time to play a bit with the placement of the ir-blaster - maybe even with the help of a friend…

It can be tricky to find the right place.

If you have the possibility for sending/bringing the BSys3 to a (skilled) technician for updating the firmware, you should indeed also ask for the latest Apple codes.

The LG codes won’t help you in this setup. They may be helpfull, if you at some point decide to change the setup e.g. if you buy a bigger and 4K screen/LG tv.

Have a look here: /forum/general-discussion-and-questions/the-unique-one-and-only-software-update-thread

for information on firmware versions of the BSys3.

You can not do this sort of updating yourself - the technician (again, who knows howto) needs the socalled Configuration Tool for that - it is not a free sw.
