Virker Volume kontrol egentligt fint med ARC forbindelse til Hall devicen?

Ja!
Yes, I did not notice any problems there.
Just use the remote of the tv.

@Hiort

There must be some kind of misunderstanding there – probably on the side of the ‘support’.

No problems here either – works as usual, as intended.
Honestly….this would be a deep cut into the B&O Multiroom experience.

See picture – this morning I started airplaying from the Apple Music app to an Essence, then joined in on my V1 (with Beo4), then expanded via the app to multiple devices (one of which is a Mozart product/BS Theatre).
All perfect and in sync.

If you have further conversation with ‘the support’ please direct the guys to this thread.

Should there be any changes coming for this, I expect an official explanation/an announcement from B&O….not just something, that someone in ‘the support’ writes!

@Guy
Oh sorry, my bad ?

It really is about the 7-32.

All I found was this….

….but that does not seem to work with the 7-32 of Stotty.

There might be differences in the different versions of that tv.
It is too long ago that I had to deal with those BV….I do not remember anymore.

You do not need to be an expert (a Rotel expert) for setting up the speakers.
Looking through the manual of the 1570 (page 41-44) reveals a pretty basic/normal/manual setup procedure like you find in many (older) A/V processors (no fancy automatic sw like Audyssey or Dirac Live there).

You set up the speakers as ‘small, big….’, you can determine a specific crossover frequency for the sub and you have a section with a test tone generator (best used with an SPL meter) – that is all.

Hi millemissen There is no audio master in the system that is why I wanted to upgrade the older Apple to a newer 4K mk2 that way they have they can watch all the tv shows and movies, and then play music via AirPlay to the main tv, but listen to the music on the passive kits they have round the house ?

Ok…..
……another option would be – after you have the new ATV installed and ready – to keep the old one (which has toslink out).
You can connect that via HDMI and use the toslink out to a converter to RCA.
The RCA (L/R) from the converter can then be connected to the analog input of the tv and this configured as a source.
This means that you will have sound, that is distributable on the ML, if you activate it (play to via Airplay) and push the choosen command on the Beo4.
This command should also activate the sound from the old ATV in the linkroom/s.

By the way – you do not need the newest ATV version, an ATV/HD (if you can get one) will do the job on a BV10.

I can assure you that the Hall device ‘sounds good’ – I have set up a few of those.
I still have the one I originally bought for testing – although no need for it at the moment, I will keep it…..just in case.

Just use a splitter cable – which can be ordered with the device, if you’d need one.

Basicly, adding a sub like the BL2  needs a bit of experimenting to find the right spot in the room in order to minimize room mode problems.

You must be talking a ‘very’ old ATV……assuming that one has a toslink out.

Is there an Audiomaster in the setup?
If yes, that old ATV could be used as an Airplay receiver connected to the Audiomaster (using a toslink to analog/RCA adapter)……for distributing the sound over ML.

And replace the ‘very’ old ATV with a newer – version 3 – ATV for video content on the BV10.

The Beolab 18 are – as you say – powered speakers, but must be connected to a volume controlled line out of the amplifier/preamp.

That should not be a problem, if you want to use them for 2 channel listening.
I suppose you also aim at using them as the fronts in a multichannel setup.
This will require a good deal of calibration of the system (adjusting the output level for all channels etc), but should be doable.

The BL18 have a wireless option, but they are not ‘smart speakers’ in the sense, that you can play directly to them – you will need a player (with volume regulated line-outs) or a device connected like you already do with your existing devices.

The wireless option is for transmitting sound from a WiSA enabled sender (like that in the B&O tv products or from 3rd party).

Please note!
The BL18 have 3 wired input connection – these can all be used……there is a priority.
This way you could have your preamp connected via RCA and run a toslink connection from a (volume regulated) 2 channel source (for streaming e.g. Spotify).

Please have a look at this Q and A on this website (you will find that there by scrolling a bit).

Wired or wireless???

Nimm nur die MK2 Version…..es sei denn du bekommst eine MK1 sehr billig und bist darauf eingestellt zu testen, ob es funktioniert für deinen Zweck ?

Die MK2 ist die ‘moderne’ Ausgabe, die noch upgedated wird und funktioniert (ich habe 4 Stück davon in Betrieb bei mir).
Die kannst du auch mit weiteren neueren B&O NetworkLink-Geräten verbinden…..falls mal noch welche dazu kommen sollten.

Die BeoRemote One kannst du leicht selber einrichten.
Das ist alles gut beschrieben auf der Homepage bzw in der App.
Nicht vergessen…..du brauchst die BT Version von der BROne!

Du kannst aber auch deine Essence MK2 mittels der App von B&O bedienen (die brauchst du eh zum Einrichten/konfigurieren). Die BROne brauchst du nicht unbedingt!!

In der Sektion für Ton dort mußt du auswählen, daß die Essence Box an einen Beosound angeschlossen ist – danach den Ton/die Lautstärke wie gewohnt über deine Beosound 4 regulieren.

Du kannst gerne hier nachfragen, wenn es so weit ist und du weitere Hilfe brauchst.

I am looking forward to learn how that will work on a daily basis.
So, please post the results here.

@Guy

The ‘fixed BS9000 line-level output to the BT transmitter’ worries me.
How would you control the volume for the headphones in that case?

MM

Location: Flensborg————Danmark

[Millemis]

You already have the cable needed for connecting the Beogram to the 9000…..unless this was changed!
It is the normal datalink cable, that is mounted on every BG6500 (DIN 7 pin).

I do not know of any such device – as said……..plug in and out manually, when needed.
These BT adapter (transmitter with minijack for the headphone connection) can easily be found online.
I am not sure how good they are, though!

MM

[Millemis]

Why not connect the Beogram directly to the 9000?
Then you’d need only one connection to the line-in of the Moment.

As for the BT question – if you ‘only’ want to send from the 9000/Beogram, you could use a BT transmitter with the 9000 headphone connection (which you’d – of course – would have to plug in and out).

That is the normal behaviour, when you have ‘Quick Start’ activated (as the name says).
That goes for all sources!

When you want to see the logo (and save a few pennies for power), then just avoid the Quick Start.

Setting the ATV to ‘always on’ makes the ATV screen appear right away.

And you can ‘expand’ to other Network Linked devices using the B&O  app.

MM

That is for the built-in DVB Tuner.
Sort of an afterthought, since it/that version originally only had an analog tuner.

Hallo Frostnase (das paßt ja zum heutigen Wetter hier bei uns).

Nein – es gibt nichts zum einbauen!
Was es mal gab ist längst gekauft und eingebaut – viele Länder haben lange vor Deutschland FM Radio abgeschaltet.

Das Koncept vom BS Moment war zwar gut, aber die Hardware zeigte sich anfällig und die meisten meiden diesen Beosound.
Ausserdem unterstützt der nur Internetradio durch TuneIn, welches die Sache kompliziert.
Alle andere – Netradio-basierte – B&O Geräte haben umgestellt auf das hauseigene Bang & Olufsen Radio.
Der BS5 wäre natürlich eine Lösung, erfordert aber etwas an Kenntnisse über Netzweranschluß etc etc.
Und wie lange hält das Gerät noch?

Es gibt aber auch Lösungen wie die Radioadapter vom OneRemote oder das Neoradio.
Eine weitere Möglichkeit wäre eine Ankupplung eines Alexas……..oder – noch besser – eines BS Core oder BS Essence MK2 (vom Secondhand Markt).
Die letzten bieten dann auch andere Vorteile – wie Spotify Connect, Airplay2 etc….

Von B&O gibt es – und wird es geben – bei den neueren Produkten nur Internetradio (B&O Radio).
Damit ist es aber ganz leicht mit einem Knopfdruck – auf der Beoremote One – Zugriff auf mehr oder wenig jeden gewünschten Radiosender zu haben.

The PIN codes can easily be deactivated in the setup menu of both tv’s.
If they are both working for time being, just deactivate….and activate again after the reset.
Imo there is no need for a PIN these days for these old tv’s – but that is up to you to decide.

If you do not have the PIN code (and can not turn on the tv), the only way is to get a Master PIN code from a dealer.
Hereafter you can give it a PIN of your own choice….if neeeded.
