‘The best solution’ was asked:

I know of no solution other than the Sound Center of a BV Eclipse or Harmony - alternatively a DIY solution with a BeoSystem 4.

The aux input on the BS5 has a delay and not suitable for tv sound.

You’l need a B&O connection hub, BS Core or Hall Audio Streamer.

for example.

But I once heared that the Beolab5 need an extra connection?

However, the person mentioned wants ‘the best solution, so he can also keep the BeoRemote One and control his TV Sources (HDMI1 IP TV Player and HDMI2 Apple TV) and Volume’.

How would you do that with a Connection Hub/Hall streamer?

And he has a Beosound5….I assume that this currently is (or was) connected to the BV Avant.

Exactly, the Avant 55 is right now somehow connected to the BeoSound 5, I will need to check how exactly.

My local B&O sales rep told me now I would ideally buy this device: https://www.designedav.com/en/product/almando-multiplay-surround-decoder-mk2-10

That allows me to connect the BeoLab speakers directly to the Almado device, and use the BeoSound Core as a source as well.

But I guess I cannot use my remote anymore, correct? Did someone of you ever use this device?

Correct - and that is the reason, why I did not mention that device.

There are some users here, who use or have experience with it (and their costumer service).

On the Almando site is is discontinued - it says that there will be a new version in february (which nowadays might not be correct).

P.S. For the control of the external devices mentioned he would have to rely on CEC and/or the original remotes….which may or may not work as well as the B&O PUC controlling.

Thank you for all the help so far. I googled a bit further, which option do you think is the best:

Option 1:
LG TV - Headphone Out - Beolink Converter 1161166 (1611) - Masterlink to BeoMaster 5
According to this

Option 1 has no noticeable delay in my setup/ beomaster 5 + 1611 + 9 linked rooms

Are you using it together with a TV, or just an audio source?
