iTUNES PLUS SOUNDS POOR ON BEOSOUND 5...
in Beo5 & Beo6 · Jun 24, 2009 18:47[quote user="Stan"] Because he wants to, and this proves nothing other than some people have a lot of money to spend. [/quote] I believe you've inadvertently offended half the B&O community 🙂 How about: because they asp…
iTUNES PLUS SOUNDS POOR ON BEOSOUND 5...
in Beo5 & Beo6 · Jun 24, 2009 16:29[quote user="Stan"] First, I think you have a typo... "The transport process is definitely lossless (unless it uses network-based protocols... )". I'm pretty sure that you mean "lossy" (the opposite of lossless) since th…

in Beo5 & Beo6 · Jun 24, 2009 05:25I promised to myself I won’t get drawn into this type of argument but here it is 🙂 Audio or video information is transfered to a digital media at a certain resolution and speed (bit rate per second and sampling rate). T…

in Beo5 & Beo6 · Jun 23, 2009 17:32Stan, agree with what you say... that was the gist of my comments also. In short, the AAC 256 Kbps - no matter where sourced from - are inferior to AAC lossless (just to keep things simple). But I need to make this point…

in Beo5 & Beo6 · Jun 23, 2009 04:51[quote user="Puncher"] OK - I can't say I'm convinced - if there is a difference it says one codec (likely the aac) isn't truly lossless, I don't think the hardware has any effect. [/quote] I can assure you there is a di…

in Beo5 & Beo6 · Jun 22, 2009 18:42[quote user="puncher"] If both 1. & 2. are lossless conversions, to what do you attribute the apparent superioity of the wma lossless file? [/quote] Primarily, on a blind test - comparing the same song at the same (lossl…

in Beo5 & Beo6 · Jun 20, 2009 18:59[quote user="moxxey"] No-one said that, as a rule, the new iTunes Plus audio tracks are now 'better' or more 'superior' to those from CD (ie. a lossless digital computer version). However, they are definitely far superio…

in Beo5 & Beo6 · Jun 19, 2009 18:27[quote user="Puncher"] I understand what you're saying but aren't iTunes plus still only 256Kbps compressed *.aac files? My concern regarding files ripped specifically by the publisher for use in iTunes, iPods etc. would…
BM5 built into BV9
in Beo5 & Beo6 · May 18, 2009 20:21I believe the BM5 mounting kit for the BV9 set is only useful / required if you want all the cables (i.e. 3 cords from the BS5 head unit and the ML from the BS3 etc.) to be connected at the back of the BV9 using the opti…
Apple Lossless and Beosound 5
in Beo5 & Beo6 · Apr 15, 2009 00:09Also, you may find that Apple Lossless audio files played on Windows-based software (i.e. the BeoPlayer / BeoSound media player software loaded on the BeoMaster) have a slightly inferior sound quality than the supported …
How can i make my TV to be switched off, while i am listening music ??
in Beo5 & Beo6 · Apr 4, 2009 05:02It seems when the BS5 is used in conjunction with a BV9 (or BV4 / BS3) in Audio mode (N.MUSIC no screen) rather Video (PC with screen on) it uses the MasterLink cable to transfer the audio from the BM5 to the BS3 (i.e. t…
At Last!
in Beo5 & Beo6 · Apr 2, 2009 03:36: I have asked in several related threads for anyone thats knows to tell us why/how : the BS5 is necessary for MOTS operation but no one has posted a reply as yet. It is not. The BS5 head unit is an (optional) wired remo…
BeoSound 5 - First Impressions
in Beo5 & Beo6 · Apr 1, 2009 07:40That is correct. With the current (and perhaps future) versions of the software, once the BS5 head unit is connected to the BM5 (i.e. full package setup) the focus is mainly on the BS5. If the BM5 is used by itself then …
How can i make my TV to be switched off, while i am listening music ??
in Beo5 & Beo6 · Mar 30, 2009 16:55A bit strange, yes. It is either due to wanting to restrict access to the BS3 via VGA only (which only allows a max resolution of 1280 x 720) or something to do with the BV9 unit (which has an internal AC socket box)? No…
How can i make my TV to be switched off, while i am listening music ??
in Beo5 & Beo6 · Mar 30, 2009 16:03Yes. It is possible to assign the BM5 to any AV port and connect the video via DVI-I (analogue) to HDMI (digital). But, if you connect the BM5 via MasterLink to the BS3 it will automatically revert to AV5 / VGA and the o…
How can i make my TV to be switched off, while i am listening music ??
in Beo5 & Beo6 · Mar 30, 2009 09:13Gents, I believe we may have found the core of the issue with the BV9 (or BV4 + BS4) setup. The BS5/BM5 has to be set to "AM = Yes" and "AM MODE = 0" under Roles (as previously described). However, the AV system has to b…
How can i make my TV to be switched off, while i am listening music ??
in Beo5 & Beo6 · Mar 30, 2009 08:25BS3 has the latest SW version (5.04a). The PC AV port is automatically assigned to the "BeoMaster5" PUC under "AV5 - PC" as soon as you connect the BM5 box to the BS3 processor via MasterLink. That is one of the annoying…
How can i make my TV to be switched off, while i am listening music ??
in Beo5 & Beo6 · Mar 30, 2009 08:03I want one of those! 🙂 Unfortunately, that behavior is not (currently) replicated with a BV9 when selecting N.MUSIC. It turns on the BS5, starts playing the last track in Stereo (Speaker 2) mode but the TV screen is ena…
How can i make my TV to be switched off, while i am listening music ??
in Beo5 & Beo6 · Mar 30, 2009 07:44I was expecting the same behavior you describe above with your BV7-40 when using the BV9 (or the BV4 + BS3 combo) but somehow it does not operate as such. With the BeoCenter 2 player the socket box would have sent a sign…
How can i make my TV to be switched off, while i am listening music ??
in Beo5 & Beo6 · Mar 30, 2009 06:18I wouldn't quite panic as yet. There's a process you can follow: talk to your dealer again, explain you circumstances and they should be able to help (via BeoCare or otherwise). It may not be right now but I am sure B&O …
