BeoSystem 4 and prehistoric Beo4
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 14, 2022 17:06Update. I've borrowed an 8-port HDMI splitter from work, which is overkill, and worked out why I'm getting odd behaviour when switching the BS4 into standby: it's because I'm powering the A/V tools off the USB on the Beo…
BeoSystem 4 and prehistoric Beo4
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 13, 2022 13:34My continuing reference to CEC is more a reflection of my mental state 🙂 With few exceptions every item of A/V equipment in my home is interoperable via CEC down to the horrid orange/brown plastic 2009 LG monstrosity in…
BeoSystem 4 and prehistoric Beo4
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 12, 2022 11:13You're right of course MM, the notion that having to - gasp! - manually power on an appliance is some sort of modern day tragedy is overdramatic nonsense on my part. But I know full well that I'll get pushback from my us…
BeoSystem 4 and prehistoric Beo4
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 12, 2022 10:07Thank you for the suggestion. I've managed to configure the BS4 such that it plays S/PDIF from the Sony TV without video, without interruption, hooray, but haven't yet got past the BS4 going to sleep when the TV is off a…
Beosound Balance - Issue with stereo pairing
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 12, 2022 09:55Interesting discussion on 5GHz. Long ago I created a hidden 2.4GHz-only SSID specifically for the Google Assistant products I have because some of them - most obviously the earlier Nest gear - do not support 5GHz. But I …

in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 11, 2022 19:08Is there ever a published changelog with B&O builds? Serious question
BeoSystem 4 and prehistoric Beo4
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 11, 2022 14:44re: second option above (using BS4 as the audio engine) I've bought an S/PDIF Toslink > coaxial Toslink converter in order to go from my Sony TV (optical) to the rear of the BS4 (not optical). I chose a small device from…
Beosound Balance - Issue with stereo pairing
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 11, 2022 14:34Are they linked as a stereo pair in your Google Home app? I ask because nothing I have paired via that mechanism has ever worked. I've been trying for 18 months with 2x original Google Home speakers and 2x third party (P…
B&O - purveyor of disposable hifi
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 9, 2022 16:30Initially I was spitting feathers when Tesla went CCS: customers had to fork out an additional sum for the kit and without it the Supercharger network looked small. But the company sent an email saying their " CCS Chargi…
BeoSystem 4 and prehistoric Beo4
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 8, 2022 20:35Thanks MM. I prefer Apple's Siri remote, but my experience with the Horizon was that the BeoRemote is the only viable option when it comes to waking and sleeping. The Horizon has the worst combination of no infrared and …

in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 8, 2022 17:54[quote user="kallasr"]Transmitter 1 is the way to go. If you run into trouble connecting wirelessly you might want to disable the 5 Ghz band of your WLAN (helped me as far as I remember). WISA was not very stable in my s…
BeoSystem 4 and prehistoric Beo4
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 8, 2022 17:47Update! Discovered my BeoSystem 4 doesn't understand HDMI-CEC meaning I need more cables to go the PUC route. I have a question: My Bravia KD-65X9005A does not have a PUC table specific to it. There are a bunch of Sony a…
BeoSystem 4 and prehistoric Beo4
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 28, 2021 13:52Everything is peachy... Apart from the fact I believed the BeoSystem 4 was WiSA capable. However, on close inspection of both the documentation MM linked earlier and the interface itself, there is no means of connecting …
BeoSystem 4 and prehistoric Beo4
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 27, 2021 14:29Have reached a dead end. There is a user defined PIN that's been set and, according to the manual, this code can't be removed without having the PIN in advance to deactivate it. Or it requires the involvement of B&O. Hav…

BeoSystem 4 and prehistoric Beo4
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 25, 2021 12:13Thanks both. As a Beovision virgin my understanding of these things is nil, so as always I appreciate your patience. It will come as no surprise to hear I don't have any IR receivers or transmitters connected to the BeoS…
BeoSystem 4 and prehistoric Beo4
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 24, 2021 19:48On a whim I bought a used BeoSystem 4. The seller had an old Beo4 remote that he included as part of the deal. My kids think it's the coolest remote they've ever seen. I've connected the HDMI out of the BS4 to HDMI in on…
BeoLab 18 and BeoLab 17 for cinema and music
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 27, 2021 11:41By way of an update here: Sold the 18s and bought another pair of 17s. Entirely subjective of course, but the frumpy looking 17s are a superior experience with your eyes shut 😁 I now also have a new BeoSound Core! And t…
