That is fair points but I kind of like to be able to chose the source (internal app) of my choice directly from the BeoRemote 1. I would think that if I ran all apps from an ATV I can’t do that as the BeoRemote 1 would only allow me to activate the ATV as a source or can I activate an app on the ATV directly I wonder?

At the moment I am using the internal apps of my LG CX television (HBO, Disney etc). Would I gain anything from acquiring the latest Apple TV 4K to use instead?
Thanks

That sounds interesting. Which use cases could this scaled version be used for please? Is there a web interface or app that would allow to control ML or Datalink audio systems via WiFi and to stream these audio sources via AirPlay (there will not be a network RJ45 connection?)

Beyond a missing RIIA preamplifier which other functions will be missing from the light version?

I would be interested in further integration of new and legacy products, just not sure what new features and use cases it will bring (as a light version).

Occasionally my LG CX television loses the internet connection. I notice this when an LG pop up notification shows up reading something like “Ethernet connection has been reestablished”. Streaming service then halts (Netflix or similar) until it has buffered again so it can play.

the Ethernet cable to the LG CX television is connected to the Beosound Theatre so the connection from the Theatre must drop out occasionally (Theatre connected to my router directly with an ethernet cable).

Has anyone else experienced this if so what could the cause be; hardware or software? If the latter one can only hope it will be solved by a future update of the Theatre.

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.

[beomedia]

Fantastic – even works a treat on my LG CX. Not sure how I can activate it with the BeoRemote one though?

Hi guys,

I have now had a chance to measure the consumption of my Beomaster 7000 and in standby it is pulling 10.8 watts. This might be normal?

[beomedia]

A side note, my front fabric has a small cushion rubber square mounted on the inside of the fabric frame at 6’o clock.  I.e. in the middle at the bottom. Do you also have this? It actually makes the fabric bulge out a little bit from the speaker but I am hesitant to remove it as it might have a purpose as perhaps preventing vibration in the frame at higher volume?

Thanks that is useful but yes a precise “as and from serial xxxxxxxx foam was upgraded” would be great intel four our community.

Slightly off topic, I have also read that the internal cabling in a BeoLab 1 was covered in wrap-around foam that also went bad and damaged circuit boards.
Same question applies: was this bad foam in all serial numbers or only some of them? Might be them all as the BeoLab 1 had a shorter production run than the BeoLab 8000. Any input on this would be very interesting and useful as well.

[beomedia]

Did B&O ever change the foam used to a better type that doesn’t rot and if so from which serial number? Is there an easy way to check which foam one has without having to open the entire speaker?

[beomedia]

That’s a very fair point but hardly complimentary of the official software releases ?

[beomedia]

I spoke to support recently and they advised against the beta as it was full of bugs and I would need to factory reset the Theatre if I needed to revert to the previous software.
I would prefer to wait for an official update. They’re not paying me to beta test.

[beomedia]

Still no update for me so my Theatre is still on v2.3.4

[beomedia]

Thanks millemissen,

are these sources internal LG tv sources or hdmi sources connected to the Theatre?

thanks

[beomedia]

I’ve already made these changes but the names I apply are not reflected on the BeoRemote One.
Are the names you have added shown on the BR1?

[beomedia]

Yes confusing I would agree.

but you have not turned the toggle on hence not disabled CEC?

[beomedia]

Okay I understand thanks.
I’m on an older non-beta software.

Just to confirm, when you say CEC is set to off in the Beo app do you mean “CEC Disabled” like in my screen grab? Just trying to trouble shoot here 🙂

[beomedia]

Okay thanks than there’s still hope 🙂

My Theatre is on sw v2.3.4 are you on the same?

Also, how does these show on your BR1? Mine only shows “HDMI A” despite I have changed it to “Blu-Ray” in the app for the Theatre.

[beomedia]

is your PS5 and Apple TV connected to your TV or Theatre?

And,  a you control it with a BeoRemote one rather than your Apple Remote?

[beomedia]

So I’ve played with my setup a little more today and the CEC controlling of Blu-ray player connnected directly to the Theatre is absolutely rubbish. In fact it doesn’t work at all.

1) when CEC is not disabled in the Theatre I cannot switch away to other sources once the Blu-ray player is turned on. E.g. when I try to watch live tv while the Blu-ray player is still powered on the tv attempts but is quickly pulled back to the Blu-ray player as a source.
2) when I disable CEC in the theatre I can freely change source to for instance live television.
3) at either approach 1) or 2) I can only control with my BeoRemote after I have started to control the Blu-ray player using the LG remote that came with my CX television. But still after a while of not controlling the Blu-ray player I loose the ability to control it with my BeoRemote one until I again first initiate the controlling with my LG remote.

Have any of you experienced this issue and if so is there a solution?
