Have you tried to connect A9s cabled to see if the problems remain? (assuming they are on Wifi now)

[Hiort]

Thanks!
This has been fixed now.

I have done yet another factory reset of my M5 including removing from app and adding again.
Now its seems actually to work as expected i.e “releasing” the BS1 after everything is put to standby. I have to do some additional tests to finally verify.

According to Apple, Control Centre is the settings menu top right here:

Exactly. I dont understand why B&O cannot add that to the PUC codes

Also when I had the theatre installed a puc cable was run to my comms cab, I take it this can be used so I can control the Apple TV with the beoremote?

Correct. However, you will not be able to bring up the Control Centre from your Beoremote One.

Is this a bug? After some thoughts I would say not. If you set the BLC “Primary” connected to your BS1, the ML sources connected to the BLC becoming sources of the BS1. So when you start the BS1. it starts with the latest played source. Thus not a bug but a choice how the system should react. You could skip setting the BLC as primary on the BS1 and add the BLC separately to the B&o app. Open the B&o app, chose the BLC and select the ML source to be played. Then join the BS1 and/or M5

Thanks for your input Caropla, but there is no BLC or ML involved in my setup.

The behavior you describe means B&O are trying to emulate the classic interface with new software and firmware, and have not considered all the edge cases. Report this behavior as a bug.

Agree.
I have reported to B&O support. Lets see what they say.

[Hiort]

Hiort, your right! All my devices do show this behaviour after a minor updates. For example: yesterday evening I played the BG400o on my Shape connected to a BLC. If I give a play command on the Shape today (white triangle on the black player ribbon) it starts the last played source, the BG4000. It works with all sources this way now: so also BLC connected sources. But for some, to me unknown reason, some sources are more persistent then others. On a strange way the “a.tape7000” starts unexpectedly. I’m still figuring out, how the system exactly reacts.

Interesting! I also had that “unexpected start” happening.
I think (but Im not sure) that this issue came with the August update of the ASE platform.

Will report to Support to see what they may say.

Did you change these settings recently?

Have a look here.

This A6 version looks awesome!

Original screen is Samsung, but special for B&O and not available any longer.

I have not seen anyone being able to but anything else in the cabinet. Don´t think its worth the hazzle.

[Hiort]

@Hiort – As you didn’t complete the Google Setup, were you able to set the Wifi settings in the B&O config without Google? And are you able to perform Bluetooth pairing in the B&O app/ config webpage like other speakers?

I dont think I can do that actually.

@Hiort I also wonder whether the four beoremote one preset buttons are married up to the ones on the top of the speaker, when a remote is paired, or whether they can function separately.

Not really sure if that is possible. I have no Beoremote One BT to test with unfortunately.

The new app clearly hasn’t been tested on ASE devices. There is also no TV remote for my Beovision 11.

Strange…
I have remote for my BV11 on the app… version 5.4.0.23100370349 and used on iPhone 12 Pro.

[Hiort]

The black boxes are as you can see Beolink Passive amplifiers. To them you are able to connect passive speakers ( i.e regular speakers without amplifier built in, that then are your ceiling speakers). The controller on the wall control the Beolink boxes so you can control volume and join what is playing from the main room.

You can find manuals here: https://support.bang-olufsen.com/hc/en-us/articles/360041405052-Beolink-Passive

For all this to work you need a “Master”. In your system that probably was a Beosound 9000 CD system. I think others in the forum could guide what type of master that would be in order for you to connect a Media Server. You will not be able to do that directly to the setup you have now. You need a Masterlink capable B&O product.

I have the BS1 2nd Gen GVA.

Initially you had to have it activated through Google.

You then have the “buttons” that you can assign to various Google tasks. The “buttons” are just dots, so its hard to remember shat dot that triggered what command. Only related to Google sources and e.g BeoRadio source. I never used those presets.

I recently reset my BS1 to factory settings and reinstalled. I never proceeded with the Google part of the installation, and now I just have the center button/light. And Im not being reminded by Google. I think this is a change actually, because before I think you had that annoying red indication that Google was not active.

Anyone else notice the warped play pause button? (reverted back to normal now?)

Just tested the latest version and it looks okay

As it seems B&O are struggling to get the business to generate increased revenue over time.

Looking at revenue they have been hoovering around 2.6 – 2.7 billion DKK the last couple of years. I just read the book “Breakpoint” that described the makeover of the company that was performed during early parts the 90:ies . During that period the revenue were slightly below that. During the later years of the 90:ies the revenue were up above 3 Billion DKK and the profit was decent.

Since then its been downhill. I guess its a difficult niche B&O have, since they focus now on the richest individuals where they compete with “superbrands” that sell products that are perhaps “easier” to consume and feels more relevant if you want to show your wealth (watches, cars, clothes, bags etc).

To my knowledge there is no possibility to access control centre using BRone. Would love that feature though.

I have moved an Eclipse 55″.

I removed the stand and carried the TV using the speaker as the handle and gently supported by holding the screen part.

If you look at about 3 min into this video you can see the four bolts that fix the TV to the soundbar. https://vimeo.com/232474225

I never removed the TV from the soundbar during the move. I transported it “face down” supported by soft cushions and blankets in the back of my Volvo V90.

[Hiort]

You mention “scart”. In not aware of any scart connection on BV11.

I use the “AV in” socket with cable from Steve at Soundsheavenly. He is the goto person when it comes to connecting stuff to B&O gear.

see socket below:
