2) Unless bought from a pre-owned reseller or private sale the Dealership should have installed

All in jest anyway.

You are always sneaky, aren't you.

The speakers are brand new from an authorized dealer that happens to be 200 miles from me. 

I don't see why you are even talking about this...

KOS is right about this, as you bought it new from a B&O dealer, he should have included to come and help you to install it.

I bought my BV10-40 from Paris and I live in Toulouse (800km far from Paris) and the dealer took a flight to come and install it.

I think imo it's the minimum a dealer should do when selling a pair of BL5.

Anyway, I'm happy for you to get these marvellous BL5, they are my dream!

Cheers and good install!

This is my first B&O product and I have no experience with them. Strange the dealer never mentioned the installing service, except when we spoke about other B&O devices

Never mind...

I am surprised that your dealer would not install and set up your lab5's. I use two dealers one in Dublin and one in Nimes and both are great at calling out for even something as simple as  delivering a new bc2.

Hello again

Could you please tell me: is this an RCA cable for the line connection?

No, that is most likely the end of one of your SPDIF-cables for a digital connection. You use it to daisy-chain your speakers - Source>Cable to Speaker A>Cable from Speaker A to Speaker B. (You set which speaker is supposed to be Left or Right with a little button inside the connection panel).

Really?! I was about to power on when I read this post. 

Those cables came with the speakers. Why would they give me spdif and not RCA.

Also, surprised to see such a small power cord.

Hi Maab,

Don't you have the user manual with the speakers?

There is a picture showing which cables you need and how to connect them to your a/v system.

Could you please show us the cables included in the BL5 kit and what is your A/V system so that we can help you?

Cheers,

Edouard, 

I do have the manual, but it doesnt go into specifics on how the cable looks like.

here is a photo of the cables that came with each speaker. 

Beside these, not pictured there is a skimpy short power cord.

Thank you

Separately, I also purchased the sync cord:

OK why is this 'sneaky'?  Did you mean 'sneaky?'  

Since most-informed users of this forum agree that if you are buying 18000 euro speakers - way above the price (4000 Euros overpriced at least) they are available for elsewhere brand new or otherwise - then the supplying Dealer should have installed and if not, been supportive with the setup and configuration of Beolab 5.

Even should no other user have agreed with me, I would still argue this point.  I am quite happy to try and make amends with any advice you need on setting your speakers up, especially if using pre-outs with a third party amp (which would be the only reason you have a sync cable is my understanding).

Just because I found it amusing you were seeking advice about opening a Beolab 5 box doesn't warrant the comments you are making.

EdouardG asked the correct questions and you have ignored those to date - without knowing what you are connecting Lab 5's to - and it seems without RCA cables (if the sync cable has been supplied for purpose) - then you will get nowhere.  Personally I am highly suspicious of a pair of speakers supplied as they are, seemingly without manuals, with this configuration of cables.  Is there a serial number under either large rim?  If new, it should start at the very least with a 225xxxxx in my view.
