Hi @all,

today i got a BeoSound Stage in Oak to test from my dealer.

I also have a BS Essence with two BL5 connected to it.

My dealer couldn't tell me if the following scenario is possible:

BS Stage via HDMI ARC on Samsung TV and the Essence playing the TV Sound via Networklink from the Stage

I tested now and couldn't get it working.

Maybe i miss something, or is this not possible ?

The Stage is great, but it would be nice if i could activate the BL5 for even more power / fun :)

thanks Hiort,

i cannot link the two products together in the App, so i think its not posslible.

Is the Essence like the Core? I have the Stage, Core and Apple TV connected to a Sony TV, in my experience I can output to both Core connected speakers and Stage at the same time with no delay using AirPlay 2. In my set up the Apple TV is connected to the Sony TV via HDMI and the above works even when my Stage is connected to the TV via HDMI ARC. However, I have my Stage in my dining room, not connected to any display because of how good it sounds in that room 🤷‍♂️ However, I have tried it with my Sony TV as well to test the Dolby Atmos Audio (From Apple TV 4K to Stage (HDMI) and then from Stage to TV (HDMI Arc). So if Essence is like Core and the new Samsung TV has AirPlay 2 support (since I know they have Apple TV built in now) you might be able to get all the system to sync up using Apple AirPlay 2. You can probably do it via Chromecast as well but I haven’t tried it.

Did you experience any sound sync problems?i also have C9 65” and Stage. ATV4K everything is out of sync :-( 

the Stage directly on HDMI ARC is perfectly in sync as far as i see (hear).

The builtin AppleTV app cant play the sound via Airplay to any speakers.
If it can, i dont see it, there is no menu point in the settings, etc.

Bumping it up as I do have the same question about the sw update... if someone have figured it out what's new in this release?
