With a Sony Android TV.

I use Spotify to listen to music via the TV and can control the TV with my phone from the Goggle Home app or by voice with a Google assistant.

I only have one TV linked, but can listen to it in every room, tough it only makes sense for music (Spotify/Youtube/Tunein).

I use my Beomaster 5 to listen to the radio, I only need to hit the play button on one of the IR eyes I have in each room or on a beosound essence remote in others, it's just so much easier than turning it on the TV then selecting Tunein and a station, or even doing via phone or assistant, then selecting "TV" on the beo4.

I barely listen to CDs anymore, but the sound quality is so much better. I love the looks of the Beosound 5 and hope I can keep it longer.

I don't know if connecting all my TVs, with multiple 1611 would work.

Ok, I bought myself a Beolink 1611 converter and will try like you mentioned.

I realised yesterday that there are currently 4 speakers in the system all connected directly to the Avant TV:
2x BeoLab 5 front and 2x Piega surround speakers.

How can I connect these 4 speakers to the BeoMaster 5? I read link that I can connect up to 8 speakers and also need to switch the settings on the Beomaster to the following:

"

In the BS5 menu, there is an “AudioMaster” submenu that needs to be selected as ON. There is also another menu just below it called “AM”, please set this to AM: 2 or AM: 6.

I guess that tells the BS5 to output the sound via the directly connected speakers instead of via the TV?

And one more question:
Right now my friend is using a Beolink Gateway, and I guess that is somehow providing the communication between the Beomaster 5 and Avant 55 and also the BeoRemote One. What else do I need to change, to make the remote at least control the Audio System (CD, Radio etc.) as before? Also I would probably need to change some settings, so that when I press TV on the remote, the Beomaster 5 knows to play now the Line In via Masterlink from the Beolink 1161166 Converter?

If you're playing the TV with speakers connected directly to the Beomaster 5, I can't say if you will hear a delay or not.

My speakers are connected to Beolink actives / passives or I have Beolabs 3500/2000, I do have 2 x 8000 directly on the Beomaster 5, but in a different room than my TV and it's not possible to tell whether there is a delay or not, they are too far apart.

My apartment is almost fully wired with Masterlink cables, each room having at least 1 socket, I added a Beolink Wireless in 1 room that wasn't wired with the transmitter in a room close to it. This setup is a bit different than yours.

If there is a delay, it will be small but would be annoying, on an android TV you can tweak some parameters to remove the delay.

Bottom line is that I don't have the answers to your questions, I can only make good guesses.

I will try now, I read from multiple people that there is no delay using the Beolink Converter.

But can you help me on my other questions:

• How can I connect 4 speakers (2x BeoLab 5 + 2x Piega) with 4 PowerLink connectors to the BeoMaster 5? It has only two PowerLink outputs?
• After changing the settings of the BeoMaster 5 to Audio Master, do I need to change anything else so that the remote works as before regarding Radio and other Audio only sources?

I think that if you use 2 Powerlink Y splitters it could work but you should ask steve@soundsheavenly.com 

I don't know anything about Piega loudspeakers, for sure they need to be active speakers otherwise you need an amp. 

In my setup, the Beomaster 5 needs to be set as AM and in option 2, all functions work as they should with the beo4 remote or the Beosound essence remote. Radio is always the default source so I need to hit the "TV" button on the beo4 to listen to the TV.

I would like to have the TV as a default in my system but I didn't manage this even when the Beosmaster 5 is not in AM mode, I thought that the 1611 would take over and be the Master but it's not the case, maybe I need to do it differently.

Most important, you should plug the Masterlink cable in the 1611 before you plug in the power source otherwise the autoconfiguration doesn't seem to work.
