Thanks!
Never had that - which probably is why it was a mystery to me.

Freshly installed. G3 77"+Theatre and table stand installed on the floor. And BL28 moved from light to dark oak+black fabric. Beolab 3 as rear speakers.

Beautiful! And it must be a joy to watch a good movie with your setup.

Congrats, Johan

Hi OldJack,

did you get 4) to work yet? I struggle with this. I can only join an ML source via the converter but not activate it from the Theatre.

The Theatre has only been programmed to decode the full Atmos compatible data. If it cannot, or if no height speakers are detected, it defaults to a lower standard.
This is not really correct... or, perhaps we have to be a bit more specific. If there are signals in an Atmos stream that are intended for height" channels, but there are no outputs assigned to "height" channels in the current Listening Position, the Theatre does not "default to a lower standard" (which implied that only a subset of the total mix is decoded, e.g. 5.1). All information in the Atmos stream is decoded. However, the channels and/or objects assigned to "height" locations are downmixed or rendered (depending on whether the information in the mix was in a channel or an object) to a non-height loudspeaker (or loudspeakers).
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

To be specific.....this is exactly what I tried (badly) to explain. i.e. 5.2.4 to 5.2.0. The word standard" here is the debateable phrase. Now I am corrected, I shall continue to use my (very) buggy Beosound Theatre wondering endlessly about the downmixing.
