Set up problems with Beosound Shape

33 replies

I use my Beosound Shape in two use-cases (1) to listen to music via build-in Beosound Core and (2) as rear-speakers in my Dolby Surround setup. The amplifier is directly connected to the Beovision via Powerlink.

My Problem, since a few days the rear-speaker use-case does not work anymore properly. When I restart the Beosound Shape (switching on/off the main power-supply) and running Beovision the Beosound Shape / amplifier plays Dolby Surround sound for only a few minutes. Then the Beosound Shape speaker stops playing. Turning on/standby the Beosound Core via App does not help. Only switching on/off the main power-supply helps, but only for a view minutes, again.

Any ideas / help to get it working again?
How can I reset the Beosound Shape amplifier?
Has there been a software update of the Beosound Core lately?

Can you use the Shape as rear stereo-speakers?

Can you enter "stereo mode" within the app? Or is it just the remote?
