Hi, 

Please for your advice on how I can connect 6 speakers to my BV 7-55 MKII. (I have not install it yet).

2 front (Beolab PENTAS) 2 back (Beolab 8000) and 2 Beolab 3s in the "middle".

+ sub (Beolab 2) + Beolab 7-2 center.

Asking since the TV at the back has 5 powerlink connections (not 6)

+ 1 for the Sub + 1 for the center.

Thank you all in advance.

Hello Papas_spiros, as the PowerLink cables carry two signals (normally L+R) it is possible to connect two speakers to one PowerLink socket. This can be done by using a splitter or by daisychaining two speakers (when they have two PowerLink sockets - beware, the 8000s only have one).

Make sure that of the two speakers connected to one PowerLink socket of the BV, one is set to R and the other to L. You can then later in the menu assign the roles to each speaker (front L&R, surround L&R, rear L&R) and set their volumes and distances.

Hope this helps! Johan

I’m pretty sure BC9300 is also Masterlink. The BC9500 which came before it was Master Control Link.

And it could very well be that the 'CENTRE 1' PL connection can also just be used in the same way as the 5 others, making six available in total. Good luck

Much appreciated Jordan.

I will try your clearly described steps.
