Good day folks,
I will start by saying I am not an audiophile and these are the first B&O products I have owned. I have two BeoLab 8000 mk2 models that I would like to use with my Samsung QE 65 TV. The TV has optical and HDMI arc output for sound. I chose to go the route of optical to analog and use RCA cables for each speaker. To achieve this I have a spdif cable from the TV to an optical to analog converter. I then attached each speaker to to analog outputs of the converter. One to the left and one to the right output. I put both speakers in LINE setting but only one ever “turns on” (light goes green). Both speakers work as both have separately turned on. Furthermore I could not control the sound volume with the TV remote anymore, which I had assumed I would be able to do as it is still the TV outputting the sound.
Does anyone have suggestions for how I can achieve using these Beolab 8000 speakers for my TV? I am not attached to using the solution I describe above.
Further to that, is it even appropriate to use these speakers for a TV or would I be better served getting a wifi module like shown here and using them for music? I ask this as the sound quality coming out of the single speaker that was working was not as amazing as i would have assumed it to be. This was likely heavily effected by how ridiculously loud it was though.
Many thanks for you help!
