Most importantly how is the sonic capabilities?

Lotta stuff I can’t help with here. However, on the Netflix, or any entertainment app, once loaded from LG, they will appear on the configuration setting for the BSTH and for the remote.

I have lodged feedback with B&O. The sound modes can’t be edited.

Im also looking at installing Apple TV but was under the impression it could be done via the LG app alone and not require a separate box? Can you confirm this or is that just TV control and a box is still needed?

I see that all of the sources are on the ios app, but only a few on on the Beoremote One. Maybe it just takes take for them to be recognized and loaded.

It seems that one of the updates in the last few days made it so that we can now edit the Listening Positions. However, the speakers connected with Receiver 1 units get greyed out and can't be added. Has anyone else here seen this when using a Receiver 1 for WISA?

The term Apple TV" can be confusing. It's used for both the Apple TV Channel app and also for the physical box. The Apple TV Channel app is indeed directly available on the LG. It has all of the Apple original programming and access to movies and shows purchased on iTunes. The Apple TV box has all of the apps such as Netflix, HBO Max, etc. Really, though, most of the main streaming apps are also directly on the LG. The new Star Trek shows on Parmount Plus are now 4K and gorgeous. So is "Yellowstone" on Peacock.

I did get HBO Max to work again on the Apple TV. Maybe it just needed time to handshake for the HDCP. I'm now watching the season finale of "House of the Dragon." The sound is really amazing. Very detailed and rich.

Once you have loaded the app via the LG interface or added devices to the HDMI inputs….

Product Settings >> BeoRemote >> select remote. This list appears….

You can show 10 sources in TV and 10 in music. You can handle and slide each source into order. You can also slide to the hide list

@Mr10Percent,

Thank you! I didn't know that menu was there. That is very useful.

My Theatre has now decided to not work. The light at the front is flashing white.

Was trying to operate a product via HDMI when the problems began. Have powered the Theatre off several times. It works for a short time and then no response. Have tried reboot and eventually factory reset. Still the same.

Any thoughts?

 

Good news. I've found that the Halo can now fully control the Theatre. The (color) video interface is present. Touching the middle dot lets you pause/play the video. Swiping up twice provides the My Button presets. Swiping up again lets you select the listening position presets. You can select between TV and Music sources when you swipe down. All of the TV sources that you make available for the Beoremote One are available. The volume control on the wheel works. I'm able to control the lights and everything else I programed for the Halo via the BLI. However, I suspect those are being triggered by the Beosystem 4 which is still connected to power.

Speaker roles: I would have thought that middle ceiling speaker is a must for Atmos, is this not supported by the Theatre? I have downloaded the user manual but it is limited on information.

Questions:

1) does the Theatre support 8K as it is today or will it require hardware updates?

2) which provides best ease of use and control and sound and picture quality, to connect external sources to the Theatre or to the television?

3) can the Theatre control an LG CX? I find the user manual unclear as it states “newer than CX”, does that include or exclude the CX?

4) how many speakers can be wired to the theatre, I see 4 RJ45 powerlink, is it fair to assume 8 speakers? And can one assign any speaker position combination for each RJ45 or will they need to be in pairs i.e. front left and right as opposed to a subwoofer and a center speaker?

5) is the user experience once all is setup easy like BeoVisions normally are so that all members of the family can use the system?
