Now that Mr Andersen and the app team – or whoever did it – has decided to honor us with a new redesigned app, why didn’t they think of adding the 4 MyButtons to the Now Playing screen?

We find these MyButtons on the new B&O Mozart devices, on the Beoremote Halo and – not to forget – on the Beoremote One.

Would have been a cool and usefull feature.

Maybe Mikipedi4 could ask that question!

I used some off Amazon, when I installed my Theatre/LG combo a year ago – definitely not something expensive or fancy.
As long as they are certified, they will be good.

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.

Listening to the 1993’ album Crescent Moon from the Cowboy Junkies.

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?

Thanks Keith

That’s the real Beotalk 😉

@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.
