Thanks! On every priviously BV there was a P.Mute (picture mute) option in the remote. This has been missed by some of us and has been reported to B&O as a wish for… However those of us, who might benefit from this function, are obviously too few for them to get into action. I have had a workaround for this for a while, that I can live with. The link to the Reddit page mostly present solutions for those who use the Magic Remote – not for us with a BROne. However one suggestion can be used: Login to view image Going into the Settings and doing this should not be a problem with the BROne. This means – translated to the BROne – that you must find this entry in the List: Login to view image Sorry for the danish language – I am sure you will find it ? On the screen it then looks like this (please note, that I have deleted all other entries there….I do not need those. Login to view image Pushing ‘Skærm fra’/Picture off does the job ? A couple of actions, yes – but it does the job……untill maybe someday B&O might reintroduce P.Mute again as an entry in the List of the remote. Hope that helps. Note! This is a general solution of the LG tv, that works for any source, be it internal or external. My LG version is a C2. MM

Sadly there have been made some changes for the BROne from the side of B&O here.

The new remote SW does not support the above mentioned ‘workaround’ anymore.

If you - as described - go into List there is no entry for Muligheder/Options any more.

This means, that you can no longer have this rather quick access to turn off the screen (as described above in my original post)….which is a pity.

Am I really the only one, who wants to turn off the LG screen, when I listen to a music album (mostly in Atmos) from the Apple Music app on my AppleTV - or when I use my Blu Ray player as a CD player???

How can removing features be progress 😡

Not completely related ro no screen from an HDMI source but I'm wondering if apple music would be better quality if not streamed through airplay but directly from a Mac mini to the BS Theatre.

My intention is as follows:

Mac Mini M4 Pro (with HDMI 2.1) and link the HDMI into one of the Theatre ports.

The playback would be then sent digitally to the Theatre I assume? The Question is, weather this signal is better quality when the Theatre streams to BL28 and BL8 without the Airplay conversion to AAC 256kbps before sending it to the receiving speakers.

So in the end I hope the Mac mini can output a signal that is one on one received by the BS Theatre over HDMI and sent 'clean' in 24/48 or 24/96 (B&O removed the bitrate fro the website specs)

 

Thanks for any advice or sharing your own experiences

Connecting the Mac Mini to the Theatre this way means, that you’d use the Theatre/tv screen combo as a monitor for the Mac.

(Not having a tv connected to the Theatre - generally speaking* - makes it impossible to control the Mac.
* You could use remote control from another Mac, use ‘continuity’ from another Apple device or other workarounds).

So the output depends on the audio settings on the Mac - have a look

No, you're not the only one But I find it even after the update simple. On the BR1 I have to choose  "list" and then "option". The LG screen displays the LG setting. The "default" (=last used) then is "Screen Off".

@Carolpa

Isn’t that pretty much the same ‘workaround’, that I described in my post here from 29 July 2024 at 16:26?
Still I find it annoying, that you can not do this (P.Mute) directly anymore with the BROne.
