That would be Ultra Party Mode ?

But – as the post from Mr10% indicates – nothing for ‘critical listening’.

I never tried other than the standart setups.

But, since the BM5 has a line-out port and you only need the sound going to your BS9000/AUX, it should be possible to use the appropriate cable for a connection.

The only problems I see there is, that you (probably) will not be able to use the manual volume control on the BS5….in any case it would be better to use volume control via the BS9000.
Also there will be some troubles with remote controlling of the two units – both will respond, unless you can set the BS/BM5 to option 0.
In that case you will have to control the BS/BM5 manually and choose A.aux on the BS9000 with the Beo4.
For how this can be done have a look here on page 20.

Wish you good luck experimenting – please return with your results.

P.S.
Do not use any other cables between the two units.
And…..you will need a wired ethernet connection from your home network for the BM5.

Still there is the question that Carolpa (and also I) asked…..do you have any NL devices in the mix?
Or do you just think of being able to have an interface on a mobile device (= the app) to control the sources of the BC9500?

And where will the speakers be connected?

This is important because of the settings in the NL/ML Converter.

It will be something like this (this is my 6500 set and the converters).
Of cource depending on you setup in general!
In my case it is also linked to my V1 tv…..which is NL.

P.S.
Please don’t ask what ‘GeneralDown – GeneralUp’ means….I have no idea ?

N.B.
Using the converter only makes sense, if you have NL devices in the setup.

Not what I have noticed.

Is it on all stations or only on

some?

Are you sure you use B&O Radio and not (still) TuneIn?

@BeoVision
If you have a spare PUC/IR Blaster, my advice would be to use that with the ATV, once it is there……..assuming that the spare HDMI cable is connected to the Theatre, of course.

If that however, is connected to the tv, you only have CEC controlling as an option (which may work fine).

Pardon me, but what is: ‘a puc cable was run to my comms cab’ – what is a comms cab?
If the PUC cable was run to another device than the ATV (and just to that), this has no influenze on (PUC) controlling the ATV.

Probably – when the Theatre was installed – the installer meant to rely on CEC controlling of the ATV by just connecting it to the Theatre or to the LG-tv by a HDMI cable.
This mostly works fine.
A lot do it that way – personally I prefer the PUC method.
In both cases it is controlled with the Beoremote.

As for optimal settings on the ATV 4K please have a look

here and here

Here are some tips about the settings of the LG tv.

Please notice that there are different views on how to best make these settings.
A Google search can help.
The most important setting IMO is the enable ‘Filmmaker Mode’!

Relax…..as long as you label your cables properly, it is doable.

Some versions have – my C2, which I bought in Germany, has a twin tuner ?

MM

Does your tv have a dual tuner?

Maybe this can help a bit.

 

By the way nowadays Sonos only work as a Mesh network, if one of the devices is hardwired.
Otherweise it works over the regular wifi network (which of course can be a Mesh network).

 Are you able to hide yours away?

Yes, but that is because my tv is placed on a lowboard.
Actually it is the same, that I had with my (wallmounted) Avant previously – and the BV8-40 before that.

I need the space there – not just for the ATV – but also for a Bluray player, a network switch, a Chromecast Ultra dongle, the power sockets and ‘cables that are always too long’.
No need for wall mounting here and no need for turning the tv.

If you have the Theatre on a tablestand/floorstand, the ATV should be able to fit into the SMI, you’ll need for mounting the tv to the Theatre.

There is no way you can hide an ATV behind a wallmounted LG….unless you’d make a hole/a cave for it in the wall.

It makes much more sense to connect it directly to the Theatre (and use the PUC).
I can assure you, that you can control the ATV just like before – I do that every day.

You could ‘deintegrate’ both.

Then the Core will be visible as a product in the app.
It seems that your queues are active on the Core (?)

After starting plyback, the Core will be silent, because there are no speakers connected.
However, you can ‘Join in’ from anywhere.

On the Beoremote/Beo4 there even is a button for ‘Join’.
Or you can ‘expand to’ from the app.

And you can – in the settings of the Avant – set up a specific Speaker Group’ for whenever you ‘Join’.

This is exactlh how my ‘not integrated, but connected’ Essence/V1 behaves.

Give it a try to see if that works vetter for you.

I have therefore trouble having a real integrated system in my living room……’.
So it seems that those two devices are integrated – anyway there are no more integration steps, that you can do.

What would you expect from a ‘real integrated system’?

Hi Greg and welcome here.

 

If you want to change the settings to ‘Integrated’, I can provide a screenshot, that shows how my Essence works with my V1 tv.
This can show you, what to do with your setup.

For that you must dig deep into the konfiguration page of the Core and find the section ‘Beolink’…..’Connect with other product’
Please notice that my Essence is not integrated, but you see the box – that would have to be ticked for this – marked with red.

I guess it should be understandable even if in danish.
Don’t worry, you can always revert the setting, if it does not behave as you’d need it.

You will then see the sources of the Core in the Source Menu of the tv!

As for the ‘queue issue’ I can’t say much – I do not do playlists.
Is that a newer problem/is it a queue from Deezer/are you using the newer B&O app version?
It might have something to do with this (in many cases the app is behaving odd!)
Maybe someone else knows about this.

Audio options on the Chromecast /w Google TV under advanced sound options are:

• Dolby Digital
• Dolby Digital Plus
• Dolby Atmos with Dolby Digital Plus
• DTS

That’s all.

Would it be worth to try to connect audio from the audio extractor via spdif/coax instead of analog to the BV to get sound ?

Looks like those are settings for multichannel sound.
There must be a setting for ‘downmix to 2 channel’ somewhere.
