The DPL port does nothing – is for ‘future use’.
When or if this ‘future use’ will be available, is not known
Please also have a look here:

The DPL port on the BL50 is for inter loudspeaker communication only.

As for digital inputs, apart from the USB audio input you have two SPDIF inputs – coax and toslink.

The optical input supports up to 24/96 – which is what the Core will output via optical.

Just use the optical in instead.

Every modern tv has an optical out.

That is a serious setup, indeed – have fun ?

Please report back, when you have all set up and configured….and testet.

Why not just use a regular ML cable?
Plug in the ML connector to the converter and run the ML cable (without the ML plug) to the junction box and mount the wires there just like the other ends are.

N.B.

You will probably be able to find your Blu Ray player in the PUC setup (in the tv menu) in order to control it with the B&O remote.

You can configure the Speaker Groups you make, so that only the 5’s (probably set as fronts) are active with a certain source….for instance if you often use the Blu Ray player as a CD player.

If you use the Beoremote One you can use one of the MyButtons to start a given source in a given speaker setup.

What happens if you use the local control on the A6?

@Sandyb
I see what you mean – having 4 speakers is always better.
But when someone just wants 2, I always ask people to concider using these in the back (with the BST) – which may seem a bit strange coming from a previous setup.
The triangle can sound very good for movies – but in a somewhat bigger room having fronts will be a good decision, even if music has less priority.
With the 28’s in the back there is still the option of using these for (2 channel) music.

I see no reason, why you should not be able to connect the 5’s there.

I have have been running a full 5.1 setup with my office V1/32” for many years…..no problems there.

Lots of options how to use the speakers/speaker groups….just like with other newer BV’s.

You ‘only’ have 3xPL and no WiSA.
Otherweise – if you can live with a max of 40” – no limits.

I have a blu ray player and an ATV connected – and it is connected to the NL setup in the house.

I am keeping that setup as long as possible!

If you are only considering one pair of speakers plus the BST as the new setup, I would advice thinking of using the 18 or 28 as the surround speakers….not placing these in the front.
For a tv/movie setup this would be ideal.

Do you plan to keep the BL8000?
How big is the room etc?

Sure, but in that case the owner of a BV Contour has paid extra for the included Stage…..that he can not use!

It is either/or – you can not send the sound from the LG using the Soundsend device to external speakers and use the Stage as the speaker unit at the same time – they both use the (e)ARC connection.

LG certified WiSA does not mean anything but certifying that the CEC control works flawless when connecting the Soundsend device to the newer LG tv’s.

The short answer is no!

It is dedicated to a built-in Netflix app on the tv.
The 1719 version was sold with the BV Eclipse:

Furthermore, with the 1719 you loose 3 of the otherweise 4 buttons on the more common 1717.

In that case the BL5’s get the CD signal from the 9000 divided into a digital coax connection for the sound and PL for control and volume.
The signal from the radio part will be only via PL.

N.B.
What is connected to the AUX-in on the 9000 will also come via PL

 

In the actual setup in the picture all PL and control will take place through the ML connection between 9000 and the BV…..given that the BV is in option 2 and the 9000 in option 0.

As far as I can see, the Wiim is connected only to the BL5’s (using the digital coax).
In that case the volume would have to be done via the BL5’s directly/Beo4.

In that setup I see no other solution than to connect the analog out of the Wiim to the BS 9000 – then the volume control would be just like with the CD and Radio section, through ML and BV7.

Another solution would be to connect the coax out directly to the BV7 – configure an input there and choose the A/V command plus the source button, you picked in the setup in order to just have sound.
This way the sound also will be through PL to the 5’s.

(Personally I’d choose the first option for convenience).

Unfortunately you do not write anything about how you want to connect the ‘new speaker’ – do you use an A/V receiver or will it be connected to a Beovision…..in which case, what is the amplifier?
Apart from the physical drivers in the ‘new speaker’ there are multiple things that can influence the sound.

I would do as Ravsted….get a BL7.1 – alternatively/or even better a BL7.4, if you have room for it below the tv.

@Guy

Thanks for mentioning this method.

However, most people I have helped, just use their Apple remote, instead of having to fiddle with teaching the ATV codes/using a random PUC entry.
It probably will be easier for lesser nerdy SWMBO’s to use the original Apple remote.
The nerdy ones – of course – do it that way.

Why not just use a HDMI Audio Extractor with analog L/R out in the first place and skip the APE thing?
Furthermore, not all old BV7 can handle the PCM digital input – depending on version and SW version (find out trying).

Notice, using the extractor….you must be sure that the ATV is outputting sound in PCM.

Also notice, if you want to control the ATV with the Beo4, you must have the appropriate PUC installed on the BV7.

Must be one like this……

 

And these are the connections that should be used….

….I guess!

I would not call it ‘trigger’, because it probably carries other informations too.

I am not sure that can be done.

It is either a bug or a task/feature that still hasn’t been done/added.

They probably don’t realize (some would say, care for) that some B&O owners still use the converter/gateway.

In a network link setup you use the BROne to choose the stations directly (they are displayed there) – or you use the app.
