You only have to worry, if you use the PL-in AND one or more of the other connections.

Just PL to the BL2 and from there to the BL3's.

Using a PL-splitter might also be possible.

Thanks. Not sure whether I fully understand. You are saying that things work with my BL2/3 combo as long as I have two devices conected (e.g., non-B&O device and a Essence), but once I connect a 3rd one, I am getting problem with the PL-Out trigger?

Have the BL issues (speakers always on or big hiss) described by 1990 earlier in this thread of this post been resolved?

Hi,

Yes, you can use the optical and minijack inputs on the Hub without any issues, there should not be any noise problems if the correct cables are used.

Kind regards, Steve.

Hi,

I have problems getting my my setup to work. I'm trying to connect my Samsung 8005 tv to my Beolab 12-3 using the bang & Olufsen connection hub.

1. I've set the tv audio to optical and connected an optical cable from the tv to the connection hub.
2. I've connected the rj45 cable that came with the connection hub the speaker nr1. I then ran a second rj45 cable (shielded) from speaker nr1 to speaker nr2.
3. I've connected the tv remote to the connection hub.
4. I've tried all the different speaker settings. Powerline, line 1 and line 2. But I only get low speaker volume in the speakers and a constant hissing noice from the speakers. Please help me, i'm getting frustrated.

terto your set up should work, few questions.

When you switch on your samsung tv, does the LED on the S8 change to white? If so good sign, that means the optical signal is being detected. If not the TV and / or toslink cable is incorrect.

Does the 12-2 LED switch on green? If so that means the cabling is correct and triggering is working. If not that means the cabling or speakers are at fault. Also check if it does switch to green that the S8 is not muted. The S8 has three IR commands, vol up, vol down and mute. It's very easy to confuse & program the S8 with overlapping IR commands.

Try pairing a different remote.

Also are you confident the speakers ever work before?

Thanks for your feedback davidr!

I've now managed to make it work. I went back to the reseller since I suspected some issues with the actual hub. The reseller did not believe me, but he gave me two other units so that i could test it out. I placed one of the new units in the same layout as the first unit and everything worked directly. Even the hissing noice disappeared. 

I then noticed that some of my tv channels (SD quality) did not have any sound in my smart iptv app. But after a little fiddling with the settings in the tv I now have sound out of the speakers. I changed the audio format to PCM from dolby digital.

hunh okay so it was DOA, well happens I guess.

Hi everyone,

I intended to buy a Beolab 7-2 for my Panasonic TV. I will also buy the connection hub ofc. Connect the Beolab to the output power link socket on the hub. Then connect toslink between tv and hub.

Now to my question. I want to connect a Chromecast Audio to the hub with minijack 3.5mm. But when I stream spotify to the chromecast will the beolab turn on automatically?

Yes, its is possible. It has auto audio sense.
