speaker setup

35 replies

 I now have a BV7 with Beolabs 8000 as fronts and Beolabs 4000's as rears , optoma hd projector and screen.

I would like some advice on weather to add Beolabs 6000 or 4000's Preferably wall mount them. and whether i could change the sound so that different speakers could be the front

Thanks in advance

 

I take it that you have a BS3 based BV7 and have two viewing positions, one for the TV and one for the projector. BL4000s would be my choice - I think they sound better though wall mounted 6000s (and 8000s!) do look good. If it is a BS3 system, you can swap the front speaker choice.

I do not have a BS3  - is that the only way it can be done

The Beosystem 3 is built into a BV7.

If you have the connectivity for a projector you have a BS3

If I have , how do i change the speaker setup for the different viewing

i got stuck with this originally also

So configure your tv setup in the normal way via the options.

to set up speakers for projector mode (format 0) you need to have the display on the projector and you set the settings for this mode while using the mode.

 

nothing happens when I press format 0 - please advise step by step

Thanks

OK assuming you hve your projector all connected make sure you have set up generic projector under:

Menu > Options > Connections > Display 2 (mine is set to Projector Generic and set resolution)

 

Then with the tv DTV or DVD on select format 0 and the curtains close and should open on your projector

Once in there:

Menu > Options > Sound > Speaker Typres / Projector Speaker Roles etc

Hpe this helps

 

If format 0 is not doing anything its normally because you have not set a proector against display 2 in the menu

In the connections i don't get Display 2

Strange

When i go to options then connections i get

AV1

AV2

AV3

AV4

AV5

Display 2
