Nothing more – that I know of – than what you can easily find/see on Reddit.

If that is not working, try to PM Keith Saunders – he might be able to help.

 

And….by the way – welcome to the Beoworld Forum.

My M5 (on latest available sw) does….
….CD from BM6500/Converter AND Line-in from M3:

However it seems to be on another sw than yours:

If you want the ‘full monty’, you would need some kind of multichannel receiver/preamp in between.
There are some people on the forum, who do this…..maybe they can give you more detailed information (also about using the Sony as a center speaker).

If you just need your front speakers, a solution like this will be the easiest way to get there:

N.B.
The sub can be integrated there.

P.S.
The new BS Theatre has all that you’d need to connect multiple speakers to any new tv (including the LG).
If you want to wall mount please consider the G version of the LG.

No one knows, when or actually if there will be a MK2 – or what that would bring for that matter.

I’d say, if the Stage offers what you need….

….go for it!

Since the sw version of the LG tv has/can have an effect on the daily use of our BST’s….has anyone installed the new tv sw (was announced yesterday in my case)?

Not many detail there!

By the way – I have auto update disabled, but the tv announces the new sw every time I turn on the tv (untill now I klicked ‘no’).
But can you avoid this, if you want to stay on the current and only do a manual search, if you want to?

The system works fine but I can’t integrate it with my link NL/ML system. Have heard that a sw update should allow for that.

You will not be able to ‘integrate’ it with other NL devices.
What you mean is probably to ‘connect’ it to…
……in order to start a source directly from the BST.

This – sadly – is not yet possible (how long will it take ?)

But you can ‘expand’ from another device – this is what I do when I listen to CD’s from the 6500 system->NL/NL Converter.
I start playback manually and can then listen on the BST.

Seeems that only people with PUC’ed devices have the issues, or?

MM

It would be nice to know, if those who solely use the apps of the LG and have no external devices, ever have experienced the ‘shut down issue’.

Yes, I know – I was also adviced (by the support in DK) to use the blockers.

Since this ‘issue’ seems to be highly dependent on your BST configuration/setup, it always helps to know what people have, when posting about this.

In my case with Theatre and 4 speakers + two subs and 3 devices connected/2 of these puc’ed all to the Theatre (I only use the tuner of the LG, no apps), it mostly happens, when I change between the sources (ATV, Blu Ray player, Chromecast Ultra dongle)….at least so it seems (???)…..
…..that is my current ‘theory’.

In the last 5-6 days we have only used the ATV and there has been no issues.
No issues with pure audio playback from the BST.
BST and LG are updated to the latest sw.

I will report back, what happens, when I play from Blu Ray and go back to ATV etc etc in everyday use.

I have two CEC blockers laying around ready for use, but as long as there are no problems, I’ll wait.

Maybe it is fixed!?

Ich nutze immer noch einen BM6500.
Der ist allerdings nur da um den 6500/CD in meinem NL setup sichtbar/nutzbar zu machen.
(BM -> 1611 Konverter -> NL/ML Konverter).

Bis vor einem Jahr hatte ich noch via MCL/Speakers Link die Lautsprecher in der Küche da eingebunden.
Jetzt ist da ein Essence MK2 und meine uralten CX100 (mit einem kleinen Verstärker).

Zugegeben, etwas umständlich um im ganzen – sonst auf NL ungestellten – Haus CD’s zu hören (aber das möchte ich) und schon cool, daß man dabei den CD-player starten/stoppen usw kann.

Ich habe den Beomaster schon ewig und denke, daß er bleibt wo er ist.

Hi MM, hi Carolpa, I was already assuming (edit: counting on the fact) that I cannot control the BS5e through BeoLink. My aim will be to play it through a Line-in of a BLC (using A.AUX to listen to it in any of the rooms), control the content by hand (option 0). Carolpa, you confirm my thought to use the PowerLink socket for that.

I think the BS5/BM5 is very classic cool, but I am hesitant to put another big, fan-cooled box somewhere. The BS5e looks just as cool, and I hope the directly accessible nature of it will make my user experience better than I like the app/core. The downside is the low/no level of control. But hey, maybe I should see walking to my BS5e similarly romantic as flipping a record! Both haptic experiences. Keep you posted!

The BS5 Encore was meant to be a standalone unit…..
….or – as the name says – as a companion to the BS/M5, drawing on the files in the BM5.
You could have one BS/M5 and several Encores around the house.
This was made possible at some point in the evolution of the BM5……they added a DLNA server to the operation system.

Of course you can do as you (and Corolpa) suggests – that is also what Steve (SoundsHeavenly) proposes all the time as ‘integration light’.
And this can work well – but without the ‘integration’ that a NL/ML Converter can offer.
By the way, if you put the Encore into Option 4 and use The Beo4 with a Link command (before the actual command), you can remote control it without interfering with other ir-devices in the room.
You can even – with a newer Beo4 version, that can be set to Link Mode – use the remote pretty ‘normal’ (this is nice if you want to improve the WAF).

Also you have an option of connecting something – could be a turntable or an Airplay or Spotify Connect device – to the line-in port on the Encore.

Several BS/M5 users have managed to merge the system to an SSD drive, making the BM5 much faster.
If someone really wants to integrate the Beosound 5 to the setup (with ML and NL), the BS/S5 is the way to go.

P.S.
I have never heard a fan in the BM5 and the box can be hidden away.

@Carolpa

Sure, that will work…..has been done with different devices several times.
That is pretty easy!

But I did not understand that that was meant.

’Adding’ something/the Encore to a BLC should also mean being able to use and control the individual sources  (of the Encore) within the NL/ML setup.

I am considering adding an Encore (don’t want the BM5) to feed into one of my BLCs)

First of all……..you guys are awsome – it’s been a joy (and inspiration) to follow this thread ?

’….feed an Encore into a BLC’ – that sounds like an interesting project, since the Encore has no ML or alike ?

@Mikipedia is one of the few people with many speakers fulfilling several roles. @Sandyb has just the two speakers and the Theatre. Speculation: Perhaps when switching listening positions, the Theatre cycles thru each speaker, powering it up — and instead of accumulating/max-ing the wait times of all speakers before their amplifiers click on, it performs the delay per speaker (or pair) serially? After moving, when he sets it up again, maybe @Mikipedia can try with only one pair of external speakers…

—————

This – in my case – can’t be the reason.
As I wrote:
‘returning from a multi speaker ‘group’ to the BST alone – it takes up to 7 seconds to get sound.
The other way ‘round sound is immediately there’.

P.S.

I have 7 LP’s with 6 wired speakers (and the BST).
