No AV mode? thanks for the information, I didn`t know that - so, again a feature lost in NL-TVs, and another reason not to buy....:(

Just like reading a Peter Pan posting 😁

Of cource you can connect a B&O 'Music System' to V1 - using NL (and maybe a NL/ML Converter)

However, if you connect the BL8000's to the 'Music System', they won't be there for the V1....

....which probably is not what you would want.

Well, of course not! The one and only reason why I stick to B&O is that I can use my fantastic Beolab 8000 speakers for both TV and Music. But thanks for asking 😎

I am surprised there are not more B&O fans interested in exactly this use case. I love my BL8000 (connected to a BV7) and considering to buy more BLs to connect to other televisions.

My use case is exactly the same as above. I would love to stream music to the BL speakers without turning on the television and ideally even without using the Beoremote One. Unfortunately, this does not work easily as this thread confirms.

I would have thought that it works better in a NL setup though? I thought you could use the Beomusic app to stream directly Deezer, TuneIn or from a DLNA server to a NL BV (such as the V1). I thought this would not require the remote at all and audio would just play? Am I missing something?

If this is not possible, this indeed leaves you in the same situation as I am. Unfortunately, DVD-A is no longer possible with the Beoremote One. So, you can either revert to an Beo4 and program DVD-A or you need two clicks (DVD and then P.Mute). I am eager to hear easier ways. Ideally, I'd find some way to play audio to the BL8000 without touching the remote (i.e., through some form of auto-sense).

I don't know how the BP V1 configures?

A trick for the Avant is to set startup timers for ON from say some things nscialable hour 03:01 to 03:00 next day. This effectively keeps the BV on quick startup. 

I assume pressing CD or Vmem etc.... can be fired up in 2.0 mode?

You can do the same thing on the V1, but it will consume more power all the time (they don’t tell how much more), and I don’t want this.

I'm a few weeks late to this discussion but I too have a very similar setup, the only difference is a MK1 BV10.

I have an ATV4 that is called up with V.MEM and configured with PUC etc so I can have the full joy of a Beo4 driven operation.

Just now I have tested my system: Pressing V.MEM, waiting for the curtains to open, selecting the music app (ATV is configured to never sleep), shuffling, then LIST LIST LIST, SPEAKER 2. Took a grand total of 51 seconds (I rounded up there).

I have found that using iTunes music with the BV on to be pretty great, as I can use the Beo4 to browse and search for more music and look through my library, cue up the next song etc. And if the act of typing searches with the Beo4 becomes too tedious, I just reach for my iPhone X and type in the name with the ATV app (which is usually ready and waiting on the iPhone screen). 

Before 2018 I was exclusively operating a very hi-fi style system without a BV and had an aux cable for tablet, phones, laptop and also a few beograms plus my beogram CD. But now my phone and ATV libraries are synced all the time and I just choose the device I want to hear it on basically. 

Well, I basically gave up in the meantime, bought myself a pair of HomePods and enjoy listening to my music through them. Even through it feel SO stupid to have one pair of speakers for audio, and another one for video, in the same room...

Hi didole,

Sorry for the late entry to this thread.  Another approach could be to add a music system that plays your required formats, which also has a Line input socket.  This could be a Beosound, an older B&O Beomaster, or a third party product such as Sonos Connect.

You can then connect from the Front Powerlink socket of the TV to the Line input of the music system and connect the speakers to the music system for easy access to the same speakers from both devices.

If this could work for you, please feel free to drop me a line via my sponsor link below with details of which music system best fits your needs and I will be pleased to suggest a way to cable your Beolab speakers to this to include the TV.

Kind regards, Steve.
