Dear all,

Firstly, I'm pleased to inform that after two and a half years of struggle I've finally got all my products. I had mentioned here earlier how my dealer here in India cheated me by taking the advance and not delivering the products. It took a lot of legal work, regular follow ups with the local cops and lots and lots of emails to B&O Denmark. Finally, all the efforts have paid off. I would again like to thank Mr. Michael Pedersen and Mr. Niels Moller Nielsen from Denmark for all their efforts to resolve this mess. 

Would post pictures as soon as I figure out how. (Unable to upload multiple files) I have a few questions:

1. I have Beolab 18s + 19 + BV11 in a home theatre set up. The installer told me that since the speakers are installed with the TV, they would always remain on when I switch on the TV. Also, I cannot select which speakers to keep on and which to keep off (unless I switch them ALL off from their mains power supply). So, even if I'm watching normal TV, all 4 speakers would remain on. Is that true?

2. In case of an avant, the installer has told me that the TV would have to be turned on and off after each viewing from the mains power because of its motorised speaker system that rolls down. I've tried turning on the avant without turning on and off the mains power and the TV does not respond. As soon as I turn off the mains power and turn it back on, it starts functioning. Is this true? So basically this TV does not really have a standby feature?
