Hi Stefan

I have almost the same set up as you. + 15 for rear surround - minus the moment.

Lets start with the Tv.

If you have a non B&O Tv you will have to get an a/v receicer like a Marantz 5010 and connect from the pre-amp out to the Transmitter 1.

That is the easy part.

You now have 2 choices for the moment:

1 connect the moment as a "source" to the A/v receiver - drawback you must turn on the receiver before using the moment.

2 connect the moment with a B&o cable (rj45 to RCA l/r) on the transmitter 1.

The transmitter one will prioritize the input from the moment over input from the receiver should you have both on at the same time.

I have researched this in detail and would have gone the moment to transmitter route, but I have the complication of running an additional zone from my receiver.

Good luck.

Hello,

Purchase the new BeoPlay Connection Hub + A BeoLab Transmitter 1.

Connect your television to the connection hub using an optical cable and connect the BeoSound Moment using an RJ45 PowerLink cable to the PowerLink Input.

Connect the BeoLab Transmitter 1 to the PowerLink Output and register the speakers.

Problem solved! You now have wireless speakers that will switch when you use each source. And what's even better is your television remote will control the volume of the speakers when watching the TV. 

BeoSound MOment remains as it always has.

Wow, that was quick!

I love this forum and the helpfulness of the users.
As I already own the Transmitter I think I will go for the Connection Hub. I like the concept of just pushing one button and then everything works as designed. No matter whether it's the BeoSound Moment or the remote control of the TV.

Thanks to both of you for your replies!

Keep it real simple and just run the line out from your TV (analog) to your Moment analog input. Then use either the Moment remote or get a BeoRemote One to control it. If you have some extra funds you could get the RCV3000 to the transmitter 1 and use your TV remote to control the transmitter 1 direct when using the TV. Once you run an optical or analog input. 

Hi Tayne,

The issue in my case was that the TV remote was not able to control the sound volume.

I believe this problem was dependent on the TV make - in my case Samsung.

At the time I was told that if I had bought a Sony that problem did not exist. 

However, that was before the Beoplay Connection hub.

What would you do if you wanted to have 5.1 surround sound from your non B&O TV ??

If you want 5.1 from a non-B&O tv, the only option is a pre-amp or Beosystem 4. The connection hub doesn't do anything but stereo/2.1. 

Small tip for most tv's. If you disable volume control of tv speakers thenlatest samsung give an error. Optical always sends audio, so leave the internal speakers 'on' but use old earplugs and connect them to the tv. Match the volume control from 0 and the volume works fine with on-screen indication.

Hi Troikus,

My experience with B&O has been a bit of a journey and I found out that no sooner did I get something set up I found out that I did not go far enough.

That is precisely how I ended up with an A/V receiver when I wanted true 5.1 sound reproduction.

Net, net - it is important to know what the ultimate goal is - you may save yourself time and money in the process.
