Hi fellow B&O lovers,

I have the theatre for a couple of weeks now, very keen with it and combined with a pair of beolabs 9 for the front and 6000 mk2 for the back it’s a real gamechanger.

however I’ve found quite a big bug it seems. When switching from listening modes for some strange reason the theatre itself always becomes louder. It changes back to the right settings when you touch the “db” meter for whichever speaker you select. Just a quick tap on it seems to fix it.

This is quite annoying seeing every single time i startup my Apple TV / soundbar and tv i need to go into the settings of the app and tap on the listening position and tap on one of the “db” levels.

Anyone having the same strange problems. My setup is; beolabs 9 as front, theatre as center channel so left and right speakers combined with the center itself. 6000MK2 as left and right side surround.

Edit: Seems I’ve found the problem. When recalibrating the theatre disables left and right front firing and only uses the center and height channels from the soundbar. After that the problem disappears. However when putting right and left front firing in the center mode the problem occurs once again when switching listening positions. When adjusting “db” from whichever speaker it works again.

So a pretty big bug in the software. For now I’m only using the center channel from the theatre the left and right tweeter + midrange completely disabled. Still sounds awesome but would be nice to see this getting fixed.

Please report to B&O support

I am very glad I ordered my Theatre early. My dealer told me that the gold Theatres would probably arrive in late November but I got mine shortly after the release. My theatre has 18’s up front and 17’s in the rear along with a 19. I couldn’t be more happy with the sound of the entire system. I have a Beogram 8002 connected and it has been a joy to listen to vinyl with it. I haven’t experienced any real problems with it, it seems to switch sources seamlessly. When I watch tv it is only with the Theatre, so when I want to listen to music via AppleTV or watch a 4k blu-ray movie, both of which are connected to the tv, I have to switch the listening position to the full system. Every other source uses the entire system. That’s typically my only interaction with the Theatre not counting volume control. I am not a complicated user so for me it’s been perfect.

I would love to see your gold Theatre! Can you please post pictures?

@Hiort Was that an update just for your BS1 or is it a general one? MM

Not sure.
I would guess it’s just for mine.

Update: B&O support informed me that an update was triggered for my BS1 to cure the problem. 2.1.51694 is now in BS1 and I can change channel as I used before ?

Shall add that if I put everything in stand at and then start up again it does not work to change channel again.

Hello Hiort, sounds like the same issue that Rolf2 and I have, see here: https://forum.beoworld.org/forums/topic/bo-radio-migration-available-now/page/4/#post-12269.

We found that after changing station once in the app, then changing stations with the remote works as normal again.

Regards, Johan

Thanks Johan!
That worked for me as well. The drawback is that the Beosound 1 the goes from mute to playing. I have submitted the question to B&O support. I will revert back in this thread with what they say.

Probably something related to the rather strange initiative to publish NFT art.
I was under the impression the NFT market was dead.

Hi,

Why it’s not “Dolby Atmos” too in audio codec?

I dont understand.

The audio codec name is “Dolby TrueHD”. Atmos is metadata, that include information on what should be played in e.g hight channels. In Stage that is the hight channels Stage emulate.

So the app rightly display the audio codec used and that Atmos metadata is received.

It does take some attention to settings of a device to get Dolby Atmos being sent. I just sat through the James Bond movie “No Time to Die” and though the sound was amazing. However, when I checked what the sound was on the B&O app, it showed 7.1 True HD PCM. I had the output on the Sony UHD player set correctly to “Auto.” However, I needed to turn the setting for “Secondary audio” to “off.” This wasn’t really very intuitive. After doing so, I got “Dolby Atmos” shown on the B&O app. I went back and re-watched a few scenes and was blown away by the difference. BTW, the Theatre really shows the difference between compressed and uncompressed audio. On a lesser quality speaker, streaming might seem fine. However, with a UHD you get to realize the full potential of B&O speakers with the lossless sound.

Beojeff, I assume your post relate to Theater and not Stage, right?

Here are all the install videos https://support.bang-olufsen.com/hc/en-us/articles/9396520485777-Beosound-Theatre-Installation-videos

I find these installation videos oddly satisfying to watch 🙂 Amazing attention to detail B&O have put into the motorised wall bracket. Its a sturdy piece of kit.

Those are certainly not up to date. Mine are on ver. 2.1.50400.
As YannChris said, make sure to add the products to the app by tapping the plus icon up to the right in the startscreen of the app.
Your devices that appear to be on your network should then appear.
Make sure your phone (if you use the app on there) are on the same network as the M5.

Let us know your progress.

Thanks for the review ?

Never consider an Edge, but I was quite impressed when I listened at my dealer when it was launched.

Could imagine it to be a conversation piece when you have a party ?

Hefty price for sure, but its the beovision for the future with all the connectivity one would expect.
Happy to see that it is available with a motorized wall bracket.
So it will be a bit under 100K SEK for a complete 55″ Beovision experience with the possibility to swap screen when panel technology evolve. Not too bad,

The setting PCM in the ATV means that the ATV must decode the stream – this way you won’t get any Atmos metadata….and thus no indication in the app. If set to Auto the ATV will know what us on ‘the other end’ and will send the Atmos stream for the Stage to decode = indication in the app. MM

Agree. In this case it was the TV that had the PCM setting.

I found was I was looking for.

In the app under settings and sound info, I found this screen:

I was puzzled why it did not say Atmos.

Then I changed the sound out setting in the TV (Apple TV is connected to the TV) from PCM to Auto and then the following showed:

All good! ?

Thanks Beofredrik.

I don’t have the Stage in my home. I helping my son a bit that has acquired a Stage for his new apartment.

Focus for us is mainly to see that Atmos is present while watching movies.

Think the short answer is that it is not possible (in any convenient way).

Im not super technical but you need to get the left and right channels, at line level out from the Levels. I do not see how that could be done.

Noticed that when I switch to “classic interface”, the issue when shutting of the original source in a multiroom disappear.
