Hi guys

 

I have a pair of bl4000 and bl6000 connected to my bv8-40, it sounds great, but I would like to use only the tvs speakers for normal television. I can read from the manual that the beo4 has a option called Sound under List. However, my beo4 is old and it does not have the Sound option, but i also have a beo5. How can I find the Sound option?

 

 

My second question is easy, I have squeezebox duet connected to Spdif 1, I choose AV2 and selected Spdif 1, but I dont get any sound :S Any ideas?

Hi,

you have to use the SPEAKER option on Beo4. Press LIST until SPEAKER appears in the display and then 1 for only the internal speaker of your BV 8-40 (or p.e. 5 for all speakers).

You need to add "SPEAKER" as a virtual button of your "LIST" (as described in the Beo4 manual).

- Press "STANDBY" (red dot button) and "LIST" simultaneously.
  (Beo4 display should display "ADD?" - if not - repeatedly press "LIST" till display is showing "ADD?")
- Press "GO"
- Press "LIST" until "SPEAKER" is displayed.
- Press "GO" - the Beo 4 should display "ADDED"

To select a function/source of your "LIST"
- repeatedly press "LIST" until the desired function/source is displayed
- press "GO" to send the command.

Yes, the BV 8 support digital input.

I don´t have a sqeezebox, but it should work. May be you have to change the sound format of digital output of the sqeezebox. Try PCM or dolby digital.
