Did you find a solution to this? We have two Beolit 12, one A8, a Playmaker/BL6000 and it all sounds great. We just got a BeoPlay V1 and an Apple-TV, and the sound on the Apple-TV is out if sync with rhe rest. It is not posdible to use the V1 with the rest of the units - which the shop promised would work. The shop is trying to fugure out snd sre very friendly, but haven't a solution so far. Any further ideas here? Thanks!

Hi Travellers4fun,

No, actually I don't try to play that often on all units simultaneously anymore, since the "out of sync" problems usually starts after 20-30 minutes almost half of the time I try it, so I stick with using only one of the Apple TVs or the Beolit at the time.

In my case, I have the version 1 on all 3 AppleTV's I have and all are connected via Scart since I only have older TV's (BV3, AV9000 and AV5).
Maybe it's just the sound transmission from the AppleTV to the TV/Soundsystem that causes the delay, since it works fine for you to stream directly to the other Wireless B&O Units? I imagine you are using a newer AppleTV and HDMI, which should be fast enough to a V1, I would presume..

So, you never had any out-of sync problems streaming to your beolit's and your A8 simultaneously?

I found this thread on Apple's websited

I guess the out-of-sync problem is not related to your Apple TV, but to the Beoplay V1. The delay is caused by the V1 sound processing. I tried something similar with my Sonos system, and always had an out-of-sync between the V1/Sonos and the other Sonos units. Changing the sound processing parameters on the V1 didn't help. This phenomenon is typical for all A/V type if devices.

I ended up by connecting my Sonos directly to my BL8000 via a Powerlink switch.
