However, the way the Theatre and Room-Sense works is initially, when setting up my 5.2.2, (please note, I designate my system as x.2.y because of the BL90 “subs”), the system recognised it as 7.2. Therefore, with the Theatre, you have to designate the two new channels as height channels – almost like it calibrates like DTS-X?
This is because the automatic Speaker Role detection cannot see" the height of a real loudspeaker. Therefore if you DO have loudspeakers that are mounted high on the walls, or on the ceiling, you'll have to assign "height" Speaker Roles to those outputs manually as an adjustment to the automatically-chosen roles.
PLEASE READ before sending me a Personal Message.

If you have questions about or problems with B&O equipment, these should be directed through your dealer and/or B&O's Customer Service department.

I cannot be a "short circuit", bypassing these communication channels.

Thanks

Thank you very much for that guide, Geoff. It's very useful!

I'd like to offer a bit of feedback: When manually adjusting for the speaker level in a Listening Position, the tone that the Theatre generates is too faint. It's really difficult to get a good reading with a decibel meter. The Beosystem 4, on the other hand, generated a very audible tone to capture a speaker's level on a  decibel meter. Hopefully, the issue will be fixed such that we can indicate the speaker model attached to a Receiver 1 so that manual value entry won't be necessary.
Is it possible to use one of the B&O headphones capable of Dolby Atmos to use with the Theatre to enjoy Dolby Atmos through the headphones?
There is a Theatre software update today.

Just installed my update, was pretty quick

in case anyone hadn’t seen the release
Question (forgive me if this is a dumb q).

The TSG (page 23) says "Similarly, in cases where the Beosound Theatre is accompanied by two larger front loudspeakers, it may be preferable to use the three front-firing outputs to all produce the Centre Front channel (instead of using the centre output only)."

In my setup, with BL50s besides the Theatre, the speaker role/allocation settings page shows my Left and Right Front Firing as "Not available" and greyed out.

Anyone know how to engage them to try out the scenario described in the TSG?

Again, forgive me if I'm being dumb.

I cant see the release notes now for some reason.

From memory, mentioned bug fixes / stability, somethign about BL14s, improved responsiveness to BR1 commands, something about Receiver 1 support, support fro 3rd party speakers….

May have been the odd other thing, cant remember now
The version mentioned on the B&O website is from last year and probably the initial one.
Software 2.3.4.15123 - Release date 21st November 2022
I guess the time is due for ‘some bug/stability fixes’!

I wonder if what you/Sandyb got, is the same as what is called ‘beta’ by now.
