Looks like two sets of identical cables.

Why the instruction above recommends connecting the analog (L/R) as well as the digital coax, I don’t know – L/R should do it, if you do not have any additional speakers connected to the tv.

The data connection must be to control the tv/video (turn on/off etc), something that otherweise is part of a scart connection.

Did you try any of these connections out – following the instructions that Guy postet?

That sounds a bit odd.

A B&O dealer should indeed deliver an LG replacement and have the conversation with LG for the faulty tv.

Which ‘B&O dealer’ has a Metz tv in store???
Not someone I would like to deal with.

I would try to talk with him again – maybe consult the B&O support first.

It seems that your Avant (8490) is a US model……which probably is different than the EU models.

Would be helpfull if you could post a picture of the connection panel there.

Just to be clear.

Did you buy the LG seperate or together with the BST from a B&O dealer?

Since you focus on 2 channel listening – music and (on occasion) sound from the tv – this device might be worth considering:
https://hallaudio.com/en/produkter/traadloes-streaming/hall-wifi-streamer/

This way you could use your excisting speakers – either the BL8000/11 or the BL7-2 – for the tv.
In case you’d choose the BL7-2 with the tv, you’d have the 8000/11 free for music listening (if you add a BS Core as the source device).

You could also use a BS Core with the tv (optical connection) to drive the 8000/11.

I see several different options there.

If you have enough space/rooms, you could still add the Balances to the mix ?

In all cases – if you are an Apple user – you could achieve multiroom using Airplay for music.

@Mr10%

I may have misunderstood it?
But Tim wrote:
“This is why we think of switching to either a pair of BeoLab 18 or a pair of BeoSound Balance.”

Reading this I thought that Tim was prepared for the costs of these.
Therefore my suggestion….to go for the (admittedly) more expensive Theatre.

If it is just about finding the most cost-effective solution….you are right.
In that case the Almando solution might be worth looking at……if one can accept, that there is hardly any integration possible with the other B&O devices in the house.

P.S.
I am not able to suggest that, because I have no personal experience there.

Honestly, if you consider a pair of the Balances…..

respectively a set of BL 18 with addition of the Almando device (like Mr10% adviced)…….

…….you would almost be at the costs of the BS Theatre.

With the Theatre you could carry on with your current speaker setup/8000 and 11 (connected to the BST).

Using the Almando device and the set of 18’s would not give you an integration with other (Mozart) devices in the house. And connecting the  Balances to the LG would be limited – basicly to an airplay connection and therefore just 2 channel/stereo (no center channel speaker!).

IMO the Theatre is the way to go if you by any means can swallow what it would cost compared to other solutions – it has so many possibilities.

Just my 2 cents.
(Best decide before the rumoured price rise in august)

Sådan en har jeg også haft – den måtte en tur forbi et B&O servicecenter.

Der findes også et (enmands-) firma ved navn Juhltec (det må du google).
Jeg har dog ingen personlig erfaring med dem/ham.

Det er ikke usædvanligt at BL11 stiger af – de har jo også nogle år på bagen efterhånden.

Held og lykke – den er værd at beholde.

Hej raha

Har i et andet tv? Et tv, hvor det virker?

Jeg er ikke så sikker på, at det ligger i Avant’en.

Har i haft kontakt til Yousee om problemet?

No problem in posting qustions – I guess all interested forum members can learn when other people post questions and (maybe) also get answers.

You may perceive the sound from your 5’s – as well as from the entire setup – as different from before….exactly because the BS Theatre takes all speakers and the room in account.

Most people say that they think their speakers sound better when connected to the Theatre – however, better/worse is a very personal matter.

With the Theatre you have lots of options to tweak the sound to your own liking, should you not be satisfied.
I’d suggest to make more listening positions with the same speaker configuration, location etc and then tweak one of those in order to make comparisons.

“When you say it is inconvenient to switch between IR and BT, do you mean this act of having to tell the remote which device you wish to control?”

Yes, that is what I meant!

MM

The ir sensor of the BV11 is located at the top righ of the frame.

As for ir controlling of the Fire I have no personal experience and a google search does not bring any clarity.
Furthermore there might be different versions of the Fire device with different specs and different remotes?
This might be the explanation for the PUC entry for the Cube in the BV11 settings (??)

If your concern is, whether you may be able to control the BV using the Cube/remote/the built-in ir blaster function, you will not have any luck as Madskp already wrote.

Since there is no HDMI/CEC on the BV11, you’ll probably end up with two remotes.

……, but I observe that Beo4 can only control the devices on the right-hand side of the picture below, and not on the left. Is there a remote able to control both the left and the right on the picture? Perhaps a Beoremote 1 with BT?

You are right – no IR for the A6.
You could get the BROne/BT (which also has ir).
However, I find/found it inconvenient to have to switch from ir to bt mode for this.
Despite the costs, I would rather recomment having two remotes (a BROne/BT and a Beo4/navi) – especially if you have two seperate rooms.
If you happen to have an older mobile phone laying around, that you do not use anymore, you could use that – with the Bang & Olufsen app installed – as a remote for the A6.

@Sandyb

Maybe they count on these HWNI’s buying their stuff only as decor in their houses…..they’ll never notice the flaws ?

From the factory the BT is always open to connect.
You can turn this off in the settings of the device.
However, this makes it a bit more ‘complicated’, when you want to use that function yourself.

By the way, how often do you use BT with the Beosound Core, which is a network device and has several other ways to be used.
If seldom – or even never – you can deactivate BT there (at least there).

Maybe the best way would be to talk with your neighbours, invite them over to show how annoying it is, when someone else suddently starts playing music in your house.

That is not a flagship. It is just a modded turntable with a Core and the 28’s in a – admitted – beatifully crafted cabinet. Something for very few people with loads of money to spend on nostalgia (for some probably even just as an investment). Why so much efford on keeping an an inferior reproduction medium alive – I don’t get it?

Is Beogram 4002 really an inferior reproduction medium? Maybe there are different opinions out there?

https://www.hifinews.com/content/bo-beogram-4002-turntable

I did not write anything about the BG4002 being a bad/inferior turntable – in fact it is excellent (and better that most).
What I wrote is, that the medium vinyl record is inferior to what we can achieve nowadays….has been since the CD came in 1982.

Some may like what the vinyl media brings, but in my opinion a company that makes several outstanding speakers, should rather concentrate on making new digital based solutions.

That said – the 72-23 is a gem…..but a gem that only very, very few can afford and as such just a show off product.
People who prefer vinyl playback already have lots of options.

Usually the Avant from 2017 would be a MK2 also called the NG.
And sure….the MK1 often has problems with the DVE/mainboard, but as far as I know the issues with the MK2 are more related to the panel.

Buying an Avant MK2 one should know, that it is based on an older Android platform – using SmartTV functions there is best done with an external box like the AppleTV.

The prices for the MK2 are higher than for the MK1 – a newer device.
As for actual prices in your area, I have no idea.

A question on the side: if I have selected a speaker group and then go back to theatre alone, that takes me quite a long time, so about 15 seconds, is that the same for you?

Yes, there is still a bug there!
