I had a problem with my 2 rear Beolab 17 connected via WISA not always turning green at startup.

I wrote for help in a danish forum on facebook how to update the software with a Beolab Transmitter 1. Suddenly Jacob from B&O support wrote, that if the BL17 was connected to a Beosound Theatre, he could update the SW remotely. After the update there's no problems with the connection.

Although it remains a problem for standalone BL17s on "dumb" music systems, there's nothing stopping the BL17 being voiced to original specifications (or improved specifications) via the DSP Theatre?

The other aspect is....that I always assumed the BL17/18....software updates were for WISA upgrades and not for the voicing/sound of the speaker. I dont know if that is correct or not....but it would be excellent if it could? I wonder if this is automatic, or you have to plug the SW into a USB stick and use the Theatre as a Transmitter1?

Yes, the BT has the bass parameters for older speakers, but when hooked up via Beolab Receiver 1/WiSA there is no way telling the BT to which one it is connected. This is rather stupid. Would require an add-on in the software.

Hi, my setup is Theatre with 2x Beolab 28. Wisa. Decrease is by watching Live tv. The rest is fine. Only live tv is the "problem".

My BT is connected to BL9s, and there is the occasional humming noise that is driving me crazy. I shift the power cables or PL cables a little and it disappears for awhile, but always comes back again. Would be grateful for any help.
