Hi guys,

Just received my Theatre and it amazing. Especially together with the Beolab 19.

But I miss a broader sound field and do not have space for Beolab 18 or 28.

What are your recommendations when it comes  to adding a L & R to the theatre? They need to be as discreet as possible.

Beolab 3  (cabled)

Beolab 4000 (cabled)

Beosound Balance/Essense/Level (if they release SW).

Thanks!

I'd just get some BL3s for now - they're not very expensive now, and will do a decent enough job if you dont have space for something bigger.

The update to allow something like the Balance to work as surrounds is (I'd suggest) a good year away.

Unrelated, but if you're in the UK, I'm selling my BL3's.

 

Does anyone recall what the specific settings for a Sport sound preset are?

This preset was a default option with the Eclipse but not for the Theatre and Stage.  I am looking to recreate and save as a user created sound mode, for my Theatre.

I did feel this was a great preset for Football and F1, and with the World Cup, felt I wanted to hear more of the stands and the echo of the stadium.

I am after the specific numbers for: frequency tilt, sound enhancement, speech enhancement plus the bass management, compression etc, as well as surround, height, stage width and envelopment, so I may copy these.

Thank you in advance.

*** update - started a separate post directed at Eclipse/Harmony owners ****

My Theatre was delivered on Friday and i hooked it up with my Beolab 90's cabled via Powerlink. I also borrowed a BS Core for testing and paired it to the BL90's and the Theatre.

Now the Theatre won't recognize the PL-Connection automatically ... looks like a software bug. If i want to watch TV i have to choose wireless mode for the BL90's via Beo-App ... switching to music via Core using the BL90's only requires interaction with the app again, in order to switch back to Powerlink input again manually.

Any ideas? Could be my faulty work, too of course.

Cheers

Does anyone have a white noise/hiss from the centre speaker in their theatre?

im trying to troubleshoot mine. It’s not source caused as it happens on all sources and with nothing connected. Have performed a reboot and factory reset but no improvement

I have the Theatre, BL90, BL3 in my system . It all works (to an extent), set up in the classical way. The only thing that is different is the core? What is that used for and how is it connected and controlled?

do I understand correctly that you can use the Theatre without any wings? does it look weird with gaps?

do I understand correctly that you can use the Theatre without any wings? does it look weird with gaps?

The BSTH is designed for a 55in screen (without wings). Wings can be purchased separately (at the stupid price of £800 a set) for 65in and 77in screens. I did consider at one point buying the 77in wing-set to go with a 65in screen and go for the Eclipse look. However, common sense was flicked back in to high" mode. I find the gap between screen and BSTH almost not noticeable from the fret width upward. DHA's picture probably accentuates matters (non-LG screen, bright backlight behind the panel and eye-level at the joint). You can fiddle endlessly to (limited) adjust the gap, how forward/backward/Tilt and twist you want the panel. The hardest adjustment is to jockey the ends of the panel to match the sides of the BSTH. Photo below is my Panel set-up at the viewing position. This Photo shows how the BSTH tries to hide its bulk and how relatively close the Panel goes to the wall. The SMI and out-going cables drive that distance.   I've gotta say, (I would say that wouldn't I?), that this product comes across as a pretty decent offering from B&O.  The design is out there, unusual, quirky but it works. The TV is packed with tech and sounds very good. I was even expecting the App to be useless. Yes, there a few things missing but as a software driven product, it works surprisingly well for a B&O product, a few weeks out of the box.
