Mine is fine but I only have the LG connected via HDMI. As for speakers I have 7 wired to the Theatre.
The system works fine but I can’t integrate it with my link NL/ML system.  Have heard that a sw update should allow for that.

[BeoMedia]

I wasn’t aware I could request an update fix via the dealer but I suppose if it isn’t generally released to everyone there might be a reason for it and it could introduce new and different issues. At the moment the only issue I have is batteries are used quickly and I can’t activate sources of music from my link system.

[BeoMedia]

Just replaced batteries again. This is the second time in slightly less than 3 months so seems to last 6 weeks before needing to be replaced.

Here’s hoping a software update will eventually fix this.

Is anyone aware of B&O’s software update policy? I.e. whether to fix smaller issues as and when or to release few software updates that are intended to fix all issues at the same time? I guess I’m just wondering as I haven’t seen any updates since I installed the system in Dec-22.

[BeoMedia]

I had no update yesterday but I am not on the beta program.

[BeoMedia]

Is it the same remote you are using or have you purchased a new one for the Beosound Theatre?

[BeoMedia]

It happened again yesterday but it turned out the kids had been playing with the Apple Home app and assigned new names. All is well.

[BeoMedia]

Last night I noticed that the name (which you can assign yourself) of the Theatre had been changed to something random.
I couldn’t change it back via the app. It prompted me to do so via Apple Home app which I couldn’t figure out either.
then I unplugged the Theatre and restarted it and then I could easily change the name back via the B&O app.
The arbitrary name was a combo of the name of a Bluetooth speaker I have and some random numbers. How can this happen and have you experienced anything similar?

[BeoMedia]

my first BeoRemote One is the one I purchased with my BeoSound Theatre.
after a month of normal use (television in the evening) the remote is prompting me to change the batteries. The remote was brand new and I used the included batteries.
Is this normal or is it perhaps due to it ran software updates when I first took it in use?
It seems excessive to change batteries every month but I don’t know whether this is normal?

What’s your experience?

[BeoMedia]

How are software distributed; one region or country at the time? I still don’t have the latest version as I’m still on v2.3.4

How does that work?

(my Theatre is set to automatic updates and it states I’m at the latest version)

[BeoMedia]

I don’t have an Apple TV connected, just running the stock apps in the LG TV.

The Atmos test videos I am playing via Plex and the stock Plex app in the LG.

[BeoMedia]

I have tested some different sources that presumably should be in Atmos.

1. Apple Music, tracks marked with Atmos (same setting turned on my settings) shows as PCM 2.0 in the Theatre. I am playing this via AirPlay to the Theatre.
2. Atmos sound files downloaded, they do not show as Atmos in the Theatre but rather shows up as:
   Channel allocation: 7.1 and Codec: DolbyDigitalPlus.

I find this rather puzzling, I was expecting they should all be recognised as Atmos by the Theatre.

I suppose (cannot see why) that a 5.1 file that is non-Atmos will distribute sound upwards to a higher sound distribution. i.e a hard 5.1 file can only be a 5.1 sound or less.

The source material is 5.1 Atmos. And, the theatre is still recognizing it as “Atmos” which is why I’m puzzled as I thought you needed a 7.1 channel source to be Atmos.

I have 6 speakers (front, back and height) and 1 subwoofer connected to the Theatre.

The Theatre has identified this as a 7.1.2 setup. The x.x.2 are my height speakers and x.1.x the subwoofer.
The remaining 4 connected speakers and the Theatre is 5, the “missing” 2 to make it 7.x.x I assume is 2 up-firing speakers in the Theatre. Is that correct?

Btw you (forum posters) sometimes refer to seeing which of the speakers in the Theatre that are active and turned on, where do you see this please? I haven’t found it in my app.

thanks BeoMedia

[BeoMedia]

Thanks for this but can a 5.1 (6 channel source) provide Atmos to more than 6 speakers on our Theatre Atmos system? Would it contain sound to 7.1.2 speakers? Or only to 5.1 speakers and if the latter it wouldn’t be Atmos would it? ?

here you go

How is the Atmos sound format encoded?

I’ve read how the 3D experience is “object based” sound etc.

However, I have seen material with 5.1 channels where the B&O app shows it as Atmos. Can this be? I thought it would need to be 7.1 dedicated channels in order to provide the Atmos experience.

For true Atmos, is 7.1 channels a prerequisite in the source material or would 5.1 channels suffice?

To my Theater I have 2 front, 2 rear, 2 ceiling and one subwoofer speakers connected. How would an Atmos 5.1 and 7.1 Atmos source material differ?

[BeoMedia]

Interesting feedback from the ones of you who have speakers with their own sound correction. However, my BeoLab 1’s and BeoLab 2 have never sounded so good as now when they’re connected to the Theatre.

[BeoMedia]

Is/Was this the same issue with BeoSound Stage? How quickly did they resolve it for that product or is it still not possible to chose an audio source from the ML system on the Stage either?

[BeoMedia]

Sorry, I don’t think I follow – obviously the products need to be connected and the BLC allows for that between NL and ML. If they are not connected you can’t access them across products.
Is that what you mean?

[BeoMedia]

Update:

I can JOIN with the Theatre the source playing on the NL/ML Converter.
I cannot JOIN to music playing on the ML alone.
My BeoVision 11 can JOIN music playing on the ML network alone.

[BeoMedia]

Thank you for trying this out!

I will try to do sort of the same by playing CD via the ML/NL Converter and see if I can JOIN with the Theatre.
I would, however, prefer if I could chose the source from the Theatre directly.
