Perhaps the app does a call to see whats you're set up stand wise and then knows your Serial number and what size you ordered.

Am I right? After the last software update the sound seems to have improved (Life TV (Satellite), B&O Radio). Sound of Bluray and Apple TV was always ok.

What do you mean improved sound?

You can also change the source starting volume for each source now.

It is not the starting sound LEVEL, but the sound QUALITY that seems have to been improved.

Overall: I still like the system

In addition the BeoSound 9000 as a stereo system for my BeoLab 9 is well integrated and also controlled by my BeoRemote 1.

How do you control your 9000 with the BR1?

Beoremote One can switch to infrared mode to control older products, the same as it can switch between multiple Bluetooth products.

with current software versions and experiences,

1) is it possible to activate and listen to a source from the Beosound Theatre from a link room?

2) is it possible to activate and listen to a source from a stereo connected to the link system from the Beosound Theatre?

I know we’ve discussed it before but wanted to check if there was an update or solution to this issue.

If still not possible has anyone heard from their dealer whether B&O is working on a solution or have decided not to pursue this? I haven’t been a me to hear either way.
Adding more speakers keeps enhancing my experience of the Theatre…  I went to review the ‘ultimate Dolby Atmos setup’ in the Manchester, UK store.  Ian the manager is a friend and I know he is passionate for delivering the best for his existing and new customers.

But he is naughty as his setup beats my LG G3 65” Theatre on a motorised wall bracket with 3 x pairs of BL17s and a BL19 and is food for thought on whether I start again and upgrade…

If you get the chance go and listen and see his…

LG G3 77” Theatre on a motorised floor stand using the FL, FR & C as the Centre; with BL50 as FL & FR, BL28 as either WL/SL & WR/SR; with BL8 as either SL/BL & SR/BR; a BL19; and 2 sets of Celestial each set using a BeoAmp 2 as the four Height speakers.

The sound and picture is so enveloping I can only imagine if in my home and no large airy store to transport me into the movie or stadium or concert hall… in this case using latest technology speakers paired with modern classics ‘more is more and beats all!’

Thank you Ian your store is leading the way to show the art of the possible and Bang & Olufsen’s products at their very best.  No doubt I will be handing you my money for years to come… now should I replace again and add the LG G4 because when you tempted me from my G2 bought with the Theatre in October 2022 to replace with a G3 in March 2023 it was itself a step up in the picture to match what will be a giant leap when I talk myself into replacing my BL17s with BL8s and add Celestial heights.
sounds awesome - I have a Theatre set as Centre-Centre-Centre, 50s as FL/FR and 17s as surround/rears.  Even without dedicated heights, its super impressive.

Remember, 28s/50s/90s are a few weeks away from a 15-20% price rise - so if you are in the market for any of those, I'd get in quick!

and yes, 15-20%!
Is it possible to connect a USB audio source to the Theatre?

So for instance can I connect an Apple Mac computer via USB to the Theatre and then stream the digital audio via the USB connection to the Theatre?

Best regards, Flere
