in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 31, 2019 14:19 GMT

I didn’t really expect my OP to lead to all these observations about B&O! I certainly wanted to highlight a problem with their online customer service. My refund finally came through today. I ended up buying a Ruark Audi…

Meanwhile. My Soundstage has landed back in Germany. Now I wonder how long before I get confirmation of a refund. I’m sorry to read about the issues discussed here. Leaving aside the other important points made, Business…

The problem is the HDMI ARC connection. When my DVD was connected to the normal HDMI there was no interference. Bluetooth was fine. And the 3.5mm connection was also fine. I hope the issue gets resolved. I have gone back…

I managed to speak to someone today. They were very sympathetic and said they understood my frustration. The problem lies with their HQ. I ask myself why cannot they pick up a phone to a colleague and get it sorted immed…

Did you see this thread? /forum/general-discussion-and-questions/beosound-stage---lags The post refers to the C9 Mine was a different LG model. But the issue is the incompatibility of the HDMI ARC connection.

How else can I interpret a delay of almost two weeks in hearing from them online about my Beosound Stage which has been accepted warrants a full refund? I was told " As soon as our headquarters confirm the process, we wi…

I have phoned them three times and exchanged several messages and emails. But nothing from them since 3 December. I posted a DM to them on Twitter. That contact is trying to help but still no resolution.

My TV is the LG49UM7400PLB. The problem is that HDMI ARC is not a standard feature. Manufacturers may adopt slightly different characteristics for their ARC. And even one manufacturer may not have identical ARCs in all t…

My SKY Q box is connected to HDMI 1 on my TV. The fundamental point of using the ARC from the TV to the ARC on the stage is to optimise its benefits. For me, this whole business is now academic because I have returned th…

It's interesting to know you have questions to ask. B&O simply asked me to explain the problem which I did as fully as I thought necessary. They asked no questions or made any suggestions. They simply decided to ask me t…

I bought two identical TVs. And neither worked either with the Stage I bought online or the one I bought from my local dealer. They were among the cheapest of the LG TVs - LG49um7400PLB. And I have no wish to replace the…
