TV Optical output to Beolab Transmitter 1 Setup

2 replies

Hi,

1. Can I send 5.1 surround signal from Netflix on LG NanoCell smart TV to the Beolab transmitter 1 via toslink?

2. I have 2x BL17, 2x BL18, and a BL19, planning to set up a 4.1 surround system. The transmitter 1 picks up all 5 speakers. When I try to assign the speakers channel, is the left blinking light of PL3 represents subwoofer channel? The manual shows subwoofer to be the right light of PL4, but I only have 5 speakers, it won’t go to PL4.

 

thanks.

According to the installation guide:

"The BeoLab Transmitter 1 has four RJ45 inputs with Power Link / Line-in connection which have both a left and right sound channel. This means you can connect as much as 8 sound channels as input of which one can be a subwoofer in the room. In addition there is an optical stereo TOSLINK TM input (S/P-DIF) and two RCA (Line-in) for connection stereo sound channels of an audio system."

That I translate to Stereo only for the Toslink-IN

Did you set SUB 2.1 Switch to OFF?
