Questions about Playmaker source auto switching
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 25, 2014 11:07As I said, I've tried everything. It's up to the store to find a solution if they want me to keep it. And also, a product like this shouldn't need a "solution", it's supposed to be plug and play. Does it work for you eve…
Questions about Playmaker source auto switching
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 25, 2014 10:13Thanks for all the input, I have tried everything now. I've decided to return it to the store again. If I'm lucky they'll find a MK1 for me. For now it's back to the Airport Express and manual switching... But I can live…
Questions about Playmaker source auto switching
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 23, 2014 13:49By the way, not getting stuff to work, only to find they're not plugged in? I do that all the time. Unless it's the electrical wiring in the house I'm working with. Then it's often plugged in when I thought it wasn't. I …
Questions about Playmaker source auto switching
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 23, 2014 13:38My dealer tried with the Playmaker they had on display in the store. I get signal from both the line-out and headphone out to the Playmaker. It plays just fine until I start streaming from my iphone, then it won't switch…
Questions about Playmaker source auto switching
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 23, 2014 06:12Thank you for testing. Your setup seems to work exactly the way I'm after. I tried both the TV's line level signal and headphone signal with different volume settings to the line-in on the Playmaker. I'll see if i can di…
Beovision 7 - Centres and Rears?
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 22, 2014 23:16Perhaps he prefers the sound of the 7.1 as fronts and would have better use of the 6000s if used as rear speakers. This would make a nice little surround sound system.
Questions about Playmaker source auto switching
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 21, 2014 21:11Thanks. I already tried that. I hope I did it right (no display on the device!) Even if that would have worked it wouldn't be a good solution for me. The volume control and autoswitch are the main reasons I'm interested …
Questions about Playmaker source auto switching
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 21, 2014 15:03Jeff, are you using the MK1 or MK2 Playmaker? I called my dealer today and they said that the MK2 perhaps doesn't autswitch to line-in, but that they weren't 100% sure. They would investigate this further and get back to…
Sound quality BL2500 versus BL4000 ?
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 21, 2014 14:53I have the Beolab 2500. My dealer told me the were active with electronic filters and separate amplifiers for each driver. They are quite heavy for their size, so I don't doubt him. Still the sound is nothing to write ho…
Questions about Playmaker source auto switching
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 21, 2014 05:50Thanks. Option 0 will ignore ir commands from the Beo remotes. I tried it just to make sure. I'll call the dealer and see if they have any ideas. It's good to know that it's working well for you. I
Questions about Playmaker source auto switching
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 21, 2014 00:18I don't think my setup is that strange. One line-in source and connected to a Beocenter or a pair of Beolabs. I just tried setting the Playmaker to option 0. Now I need to get up and swipe the volume control on the Playm…
Questions about Playmaker source auto switching
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 20, 2014 23:40i'm sorry if I was being unclear. I meant, I've tried all the inputs on the Beocenter, AUX, Tape etc with the same result: No autoswitching back to line-in. Then I tried connecting them to the speakers directly, without …

Questions about Playmaker source auto switching
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 20, 2014 22:17OK, so I went out and got the Playmaker. But I seem to have more or less the exact problem I feared. The Playmaker will autoswitch from line-in to Airplay just fine. The other way around is not working though... To get t…
Questions about Playmaker source auto switching
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 17, 2014 12:00I'll let you know if I decide to to buy one. It seems to be one of B&O's most useful but still most underappreciated products. Depending on how you use it, it's a lot more than just an overpriced Airport Express. Also, I…

Questions about Playmaker source auto switching
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 17, 2014 11:24To clarify things a bit. I'm thinking: I'm watching TV with the sound going through the Playmaker. Then, I stream some music from my iPhone, with the TV still on. The Playmaker would then auto switch to airplay. Then, af…
Questions about Playmaker source auto switching
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 17, 2014 11:16The reason I'm wondering is, I'm going to use it as both an airplay device but also a preamp for my TV via the TV:s headphone out. I already have a beocenter connected to the tv this way and an airport express, but I fee…
