What I
expect to get out of the update:
-Full
integration of all audio sources in a Multiroom setup throughout the house, including
my 20+
years old Beocenter
9500/Beogram 9500
-Video
sources
will
be “stand
alone” systems. If
I
later on want to add Video sources to the multi room setup (for joining audio),
that can be done with additional NL/ML converters, but for now I will not go
for that.
-Beolab
28 will be connected to BV7-55 with Powerlink and to LAN with a cable to the
first BL28. Connection between BL28 will be wireless.
I can read from Razlaw in the BeoLab 28 thread,
that
when Powerlink is active from BV7-55, the speakers are just a part of the 5.1
setup, and cannot be controlled individually as BL28, and when BV7-55 is off or
in speaker mode 1, I will be able to control the BL28 for music and include it
in the multiroom, which is just fine.

Questions:
•Do
you see any challenges using BL28 as front speakers in my 5.1 setup with the
BV7 as mentioned? Is there any limitations in the use of BL28 as multiroom
speakers, when they also are part of the 5.1 setup as well (Narrow/wide mode
etc.)
Would you keep the Beolab 2 in the 5.1 video setup?
•Is
it correct, that if I connect Beocenter 9500 and Beogram 9500 to a NL/ML
converter, I will be able to see and control all the Beocenter sources (Radio,
CD, Tape and Phono) in the B&O app and in a Beoremote One?
•since
there is no speakers connected directly to the converter, I probably need to
join from BL28 or another room to hear the sound, but that is okay – could that
be set up automatically with “MyButtons” on a BeoRemote One or in a Halo if I
have a Halo in the living room?
•Options
for BC 9500 and BV7-55 should be set to 1 on both, since they are not connected
through ML anymore, correct?
•What
is the optimal solution for remote control in the living room?
If I control the sources in the living room with a BR1, can I just have the BV7
and ATV in the TV listed sources, BC/BG9500 sources in the Music list together
with BL 28 ? – or do I have to switch between a “Beo4 mode” and normal IR mode
every time I change source between BV/BC/BG and the sources in the BL28?
•And
any difference if BR1 is IR or BT version? (I have Apple TV PUC on the BV 7)
•Any
additional advance from a Halo compared to a BR1?
•I
have read that the latest update for BL 28 made DLNA sharing possible, so if I
play DLNA music through one of the Cores, I can now join that on the BL 28
(with BV7-55 in standby or in speaker mode 1).
What about internet radio (B&O Radio/TuneIn) in the multiroom setup. If I
start a radio station on the BL28’s, can I join that from the Core’s and the
A6, or do I have to start the radio station again from a Core in TuneIn as well
– and will there be a sync problem here?
•What
happens if I keep the Master link wires between the Beocenter and the BV10 in
the living room and BV 6 in the Bedroom? Will that mess up the controls for
BC/BG 9500, or will I be able to join music on the BV10/6 ? I read the manuals
in a way so I need to add a NL/ML converter for each BV to get full control of
both the old BC sources and the BV’s in a multi room setup
•To
get the Core’s and the Beolink
Passive’s to work properly (turning on and off), I need to buy the special
cables from Steve at Sounds Heavenly, correct? (B&O cables are not turning
the Core into standby as far as I can read here in the forum)
