I have only done it once so my memory might be a little off on the exact order of the steps but hopefully the screen shots will help if my memory is wrong of the steps. When you get to the screen in the last screen shot you have to select one of the positions by tapping on it. Only did a quick test with one speaker placed nowhere close to where I would ultimately want it. Hope this helps.

I can edit speaker roles on included speakers, but the Receiver 1 speakers get greyed out after room sense and I cannot select them to do anything with them.

Also, when editing roles, I only get one role for a subwoofer: rear(or possibly back) center. I see that you get THREE possible roles for subwoofers in the back of the room. This is odd.

Notice how I only get one dark square in the back of the room as an option for subwoofer placement whereas you get three dark squares.

This is good stuff. interesting.

One thing I am considering is to add a speaker set to go from 5.2.1 (the x.2.x only means the BL90 subs :) ) to a 5.2.2 and then a 5.2.4 system

I am looking at the offerings from B&O for satellite speakers to mount on a high mezzanine platform or on part of a vaulted (sloping) ceiling.   EoL BL3 or BL17 are probably too big (bulky). There is also a possibility of (even though they are more bulky but slimline) to use cosmetically re-engineered some old BL7.1's which are cheap as right now?

Apart from these old speakers, there is only a BS Shape. This may not be a bad thing;

Relatively slim-line, A single pair of speakers and an Amp is probably less than £2k (B&O's most cost-effective solution right now?) if you can exclude the Core and with a fabric cover, can be matched to disappear.

So obviously, Receiver 1 may work better in future, but does anyone have experience of the BS Shape with Theatre or if they are re-utilising a Core in a Theatre speaker setup?

Extremely happy with my new Theatre. A upgrade from my previous Beoplay S8s. Paired with a Sony 55” A90J panel instead of the recommended LG G2 and the remote works!

Anyone have pictures of the new wood covers coming out? I heard from my dealer that a Walnut and Smoked Oak version is coming out. Pricey but tempted by the walnut. £1,250 for just the cover!

 

I would be interested in knowing if the Shape can be used as a rear option with the theatre. My question is connectivity, can it be used wireless (I assume via the Core)
