It would be nice to know, if those who solely use the apps of the LG and have no external devices, ever have experienced the ‘shut down issue’.

Yes, I know - I was also adviced (by the support in DK) to use the blockers.

I actually have PS5 and Apple TV 4K gen 3

all with hdmi in the BS TH and a single hdmi to earc on an LG G1 and never experienced shut downs. All cec is enabled. Previously the ps5 would turn on when I woke the apple. Tv but not anymore since the devices are routed through the BS TH, maybe the choice of where to connect hdmi influences the cec bug?  

Seeems that only people with PUC’ed devices have the issues, or?

MM

yes, my guess is that the issue is there for people with HDMI devices that are PUC'd but also have CEC  i.e a clash between the two. Just a guess though.

 

Im not 100% certain if that is the problem. Maybe/maybe not?

Going back to the first few days of owning my BST, I linked an Oppo BR with the BST and it worked but was painfully slow to move to icon to icon. In terms of response speed if observed (with no inexplicable shutdown):-

1st PUC only

2nd CEC only

3rd PUC and CEC

I think that the CEC protocol is for a very basic set of controls which help legacy devices (non-B&O) and best not used if you can have a PUC control.

Mine is fine but I only have the LG connected via HDMI. As for speakers I have 7 wired to the Theatre.
The system works fine but I can’t integrate it with my link NL/ML system.  Have heard that a sw update should allow for that.

You will not be able to ‘integrate’ it with other NL devices. What you mean is probably to ‘connect’ it to… ……in order to start a source directly from the BST. This - sadly - is not yet possible (how long will it take ?) But you can ‘expand’ from another device - this is what I do when I listen to CD’s from the 6500 system->NL/NL Converter. I start playback manually and can then listen on the BST. Login to view image MM

Since the sw version of the LG tv has/can have an effect on the daily use of our BST’s….has anyone installed the new tv sw (was announced yesterday in my case)?

Not many detail there!

By the way - I have auto update disabled, but the tv announces the new sw every time I turn on the tv (untill now I klicked ‘no’).
But can you avoid this, if you want to stay on the current and only do a manual search, if you want to?

I would like to have a 7.1.4 surround setup. I do have the folowing speakers: Beolab 18 as front, Beolab 17 as Surround and Beolab 17 as Back.
Why doesn't roomsense configure the Virtual speakers: Right & Left Elevated Virtual and Right & Left Wide Virtual.
I'm able to add them in the config of my Listening Position, but with no distance or Sound Pressure levels.

There is an explanation here: https://www.tonmeister.ca/wordpress/
#91.3 in a series of articles about the technology behind Bang & Olufsen

quote from the above link:
‘Finally, it’s worth noting that, in the specific case of the Beosound Theatre, by setting the Speaker Distances and Speaker Levels for the Left and Right Front-firing outputs for your listening position, then you have automatically calibrated the virtual outputs. This is because the Speaker Distances and Speaker Levels are compensations for the ACTUAL outputs of the system, which are the ones producing the signal that simulate the virtual loudspeakers. This is the reason why the four virtual loudspeakers do not have individual Speaker Distances and Speaker Levels. If they did, they would have to be identical to the Left and Right Front-firing outputs’ values.’

Now I wanna know, does the manual config of the virtual speakers mess with the TrueImage processing of the signal?

I would look at experimenting moving the BL17s back to a position of height and run a 5.1.2 setup. Move the BL17 Rears in the App to a height surround role. Experiment with sound levels and distances and see where you go. Unless you have a big room - or a room where you can put the BL17 back/rears somewhat back behind you, I think they may be wasted?

I think the virtual loudspeakers get greyed-out once you have physical loudspeakers in position? I must admit, apart from the soundbar, I dont really get the virtual "thing". Physicals are easy to understand.
