BV 8 system module
in General Discussion & Questions · May 13, 2010 22:02I also added the system module to my BV8-32 without difficulty. I didn't really need or want the ML connection; I added the SM simply because I wanted a 4th PUC input. I have a DVD1, Apple TV, DVR/tuner, and computer con…

Beolab 1 question

Apple TV & BV7-40 - digital sound to link rooms - how ?
