      I am getting a lot of hum from my BL3 speakers when using 5m cables. Both mk2 and mk3. The cables do not cross or run along powerlines. With 1m cables I only have a barely noticeable hiss. This I can live with but the hum from the 5m cables is much too much.  Is the Theatre particularly picky about cabling? Or is it the Bl3’s?

      I am trying to find a good way to do a permanent install while redecorating the TV room, so any suggestions are welcome. If possible I’d like to use the smalles possible diameter cable because this will leave me with the options for hiding them away.

        EDIT: After a factory reset all speakers are added to the list and the issue is resolved. I will leave the post for reference.

        Today, I attempted to add a pair of BL3 speakers to my BeoSound Theater setup and would like to hear if other forum members have experienced similar issues.

        Previously, I had only used a pair of BL5 without any problems. However, when adding the BL3s, I encountered the following issue: while the test sound plays successfully through all four speakers during setup the resulting speaker list only shows 2 or 3 speakers instead of all 4 after finishing the setup process. The configuration varies—sometimes it lists 1 BL5 and 2 BL3s, and other times 2 BL5s and 1 BL3.

        Even worse, when I disconnect the BL3s and try just to setup the BL5s again sometimes only 1 BL5 end up in the list.

        Currently, the BL5s are daisy-chained through PL1. For the BL3s, I used Y-splitters. I tested two configurations: both BL3s on a single Y-splitter connected to PL2, and each BL3 on separate Y-splitters connected to PL2 and PL3. In one instance, I managed to get all speakers recognized using two Y-splitters, but I need it to work with just one, as the BL3s will eventually be wired to the back.

        To troubleshoot, I tested the setup on two different iPhones and an Android device, but the issue persisted. Any insights or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated.

        Images show 4 speakers in the setup and the only 2 in the resulting list.
