Try adjusting the input sensitivity on the BeoSound Theatre instead and see if that improves. It is in the settings.

I also liked this function on the previous BeoVisions.
Would it work if you did AV-TV to the BeoSound Theatre. I.e. pull in the audio from the video aource to the speaker while it wouldn’t turn on the LG display?
That approach used to work on older BeoVisions as well.

Hi
As a fresh new owner using it a couple a days now i see the Beosound Theatre does evidently not handle DTS audio streams? Is that correct? No sound from several movie files I'm runing of which I expect they only have DTS audio inside as audio stream.
Any chance if so that DTS audio capability (codec) becomes available later on? (license cost of it should be peanuts i guess).
Furthermore, very satisfied and curious about further developments as this product matures in the near future

I think B&O have been hammered endlessly in the past for going their own way with standards and have listened it seems to their customers and integrated the “current hot potato” of movie sound formats: Dolby Atmos.
People can argue this way or that but despite the success of the BS Theatre, and it’s price point, they won’t be selling thousands of them like the mainstream manufacturers. As a consequence, I guess they needed to lockdown a design and a licence, rather than trying to buy them (formats) all in.

What's interesting is that the Harmony and Eclipse supports DTS but the Contour does not. DTS is not that big of a deal for me since I have an LG G2 that does not support DTS, but it would be nice to have it on the Theatre. I could plug the device directly into the Theatre which is a really nice option.
Most blu-ray/UHD players should be able to decode the DTS and then send sound to the Theatre. Where we really need the Theatre for decoding is with DTS:X and the new DTS:X Pro formats.
I think that B&O is making a mistake in listening to claims that only Dolby and Dolby Atmos are the only formats needed because DTS is hardly ever used in streaming (excepting the Kaleidescape system -- which is a difference creature altogether and more downloading than streaming). For people with lower-end audio systems, streaming might be fine. However, with higher performing speakers that you get with B&O you can tell a HUGE, MASSIVE difference between streaming and physical disc (or Kaleidescape). In looking through my huge blu-ray/UHD collection, I was surprised to see how many titles really do use DTS.

I didn't even think that my 4K players have DTS! I bought a Panasonic 4k player out of fear that when my Oppo 203 dies, there wouldn't be any good players left.
Since some of the BeoVisions support DTS, is it really a licensing issue for the Theatre?

Ok, not easy to give a definitive answer but just did a limited search “new year release” I.e films to be for sale in January. (These are not necessarily new titles - they may be titles that have been released with an upgrade (film definition or sound format or add-ons like directors cut etc….).
180 titles.
112 DTS-HD
46 DTS- TrueHD
55 Atmos
135 PCM
1 DTS-X of which in terms of video quality:-
180 HD
100 UHD+
81 HDR
Finally, I’m not sure of this, with “limited KalWorld forums” in UK/EU, the sharing of technical info is limited but I believe the Player throttles both sound and vision to the receiving equipment or cable limit. That does not mean if you do not have an Atmos receiver, Kaleidescape downscales to another format your receiver can play…say DTS….it probably falls off a cliff and plays PCM. To be honest….too technical for me.
