Has anybody here managed so far, to add a pair of older Beolab speakers via Powerlink to the Theater?

Tried to hook up my BL5's to the Theater using Powerlink via the App. When i ran the process through the app, the Theatre detected connections at the Powerlink sockets, turned the BL5's on and tried to send a testing sound to them, but there was no sound to be heard. After a while the BL5's shut down again.

Similar experience when trying to run room sense with the BL90's wired over Powerlink. In that case the App completely shut down.

how long is the included HDMI cable which comes with the BeoSound Theatre? (I guess same question applies for the ethernet RJ45 cable and power cable).

Beo911,

Strange behaviour? As I've indicated way way back, Loading the LG App was a problem that my Dealer had to do remotely, BeoApp in the BSTH was straightforward.

Adding the BL90/BL3 was again very straightforward. The only eyebrow raiser is that when you add speakers, you see the Soundbar and two + boxes. Intuitively, you would place FL and FR but no. You add FL and branch-off RL, and the second +, you add SL and branch off SR

Mission completed ... everything works as promised now.

Had a longer phone call with the dealer today, after he got further info/instructions from B&O.

It is impressive what the Room Compensation via the Theatre did to the BL5's ... big benefit!

Theatre and BL5 up front and BL17 as rears ... i like it a lot. Still have to place the BL5's correctly ... few centimeters here and there

Chill area for kids and friends ready now.

Problem with the BL90's and Powerlink was, that it has to be set to low latency when operating the Room Sense process. After i did that, everything worked fine.

Quick pic from sunday after an exhausting build up session ... still few visual quirks ... need a longer mains cable and will have to re-do some of the cableing, but that should be easy.

That’s interesting. When I did room sense, it just worked but I did not look to see if it was in high/low latency. I think I was in auto (video, low latency).

I gave B&O support feedback on the App this morning: that is if you play BL90 via XLR (configured to narrow mode/high latency) and go to standby, then fire up TV, there was a sync error and the BL90 stayed in narrow rather than auto select (0) to wide mode. So, it appears the BL90s aren’t fully integrated yet??

 

Nice setup BTW
