GOLD MemberThe doubled PL’s that excist in many BL’s is just a switch used to daisychain the PL signal to another speaker.
Of course it is always a delicate matter to give advice to someone, when you do not know the details of the room and the circumstances.
Looking forward to hear how you get along.You can read about the ‘receiver 1 issue’ in the big BST thread
here
This has been mentioned several times there.
It has to do with the fact that the BST knows the values etc of basicly all recent and previous Beolabs and can use this to calculate the filters, when you use Room Sense (with the help of the microphone).
But it can not know, what is connected to a Receiver 1.I guess there will be a way to solve this soon.
A workaround could be the ‘good old’ white noice setting up (like with the previous BV’s), that was introduced again not long ago for the BST.
This will not work as well as the Room Sence method, but it will work.——
I disagree with you, when you say, that ‘the surround bit is just for fun’.
Multichannel sound is a way to enhance/improve the experience of both sound from video and from music…….when done well.
And Atmos adds/can add to this experience.Of cource you need to listen to (well made) multichannel/Atmos music content first in order to recognize this.
I must admit that taste can be pretty individual.
But IMO ignoring multichannel music is often more a result of refusing to experience new things/ways of listening (we often tend to stick with old habits).To 2.
The only way to get around this probably is to try out the Almando Switch.
In my experience – many other BST owners agree – ones speaker setup will sound different/better when connected to the BST and properly ‘room sensed’.
I was pretty surpriced by the difference, when I changed from my old Avant 1st gen to the BST.
Did you try to set up your 5’s directly to the BST including using the Room Sense method?
Try making a listening position with only the 5’s L/R and play some 2 channel aka stereo music.Have fun.

Location: Flensborg————DanmarkYou should never connect two devices/two PL cables to one speaker!!!
(I did not suggest that!)
And the splitter cable won’t change that.In theory the Almando Switch should work.
However, if it does in your case, I can’t say.
You could try that out – I am sure you can return the switch if not.In general I am pretty sure that the result of having two this different speakers as surrounds/rears will not be satisfying (unless you decide for yourself that it is).
Rear/surround speakers have nothing to do with Atmos (that comes from upfiring/hight channels).
The right respectively the left speaker there become their own seperate signal/channel from the source in a 5.0 speaker setup.Honestly – I’d rethink the setup!
Please do concider if one of the 3 suggested solutions (especially 2) could be possible instead.MM
Location: Flensborg————DanmarkBasicly you can do anything, you’d want to with the speaker set up?
However, if anything is good, is another question??You could (and should) try out what you propose, but you will have to remove the Core/Coax and run pure PL from the Theatre (daisychaining is possible).
The roles for the speakers etc is set up in the Theatre/app.
You can make as many Listening Positions as you like (and delete those again). Do remember to take time in account – and you need to take off the frontcover for connecting the microphone.If you do not like what you hear……
……as I see it you have some other options:1: Bite the bullet and reorganize the speakers (in the end your wife will get used to it) for a as good as possible setup = the 5’s as fronts and a set of BL17’s as rears/surrounds (these are WiSA capable).
Or as an option for this – when B&O will have sorted out the Theatre/Receiver 1 problem – a set of BL3’s.
You do not need the Core for that setup – the Theatre offers everything a Core has and more.2: Use the 5’s and the Core as is…..for music.
Add rears/surrounds to the Theatre as described above – this alone will certainly bring a lot to the Theatre.3: Depending on your room layout and the seating/listening position, move and set up the BL5’s (PL cable required) as surrounds for the Theatre and make an additional Listening Position/speaker group for listening to music/radio with the 5’s only.
P.S.
You will never be able to connect the 5’s via a receiver 1 – it does not work with the 5’s.P.P.S.
Certain rumours say that there at some point will be an option of connecting the new Mozart based speakers as surrounds.
But!!! It is way to early to say anything about when and how this would work or whether you can mix with wired speakers in the front etc etc.
Just to say that there might be another option…..if you can wait long enough ?Happy playing with the Theatre.
MMLocation: Flensborg————DanmarkSo, what is next up for a change then?
The BS Stage with Mozart…..that could be fun, once they finish the sw for adding the other Mozart speakers as rears.MM
Location: Flensborg————DanmarkStill on 2.3.4 here.
MM
Location: Flensborg————DanmarkThanks for clarifying – I’ll pass that on to my friend.
MM
Location: Flensborg————DanmarkYou use an external device for regular tv viewing with the bedroom BST, right?
Not the internal tuner of the LG?MM
Location: Flensborg————Danmark1. I like it!
I found the button to turn off sound (should be off be default imo).
The single page option does not work correct with all documents.
Single page is handsome if you – like me – use an iPad and that way can have the text a bit higger.2. In order to decide which is best, I’d need to have both options…..for A/B comparison.
3. With some documents this might be the better way.
However, I’d prefer to have both options….if that is possible and not too much work for you.Thanks for trying out new things, Keith – much appreciated.

Location: Flensborg————DanmarkThe Flatpanel test of the Theatre is now online on the danish site:
Test – Theatre – danishI suppose that it will soon be available in english on the Flatpanelshd.com site as well.
MM
Location: Flensborg————DanmarkThat should not be a problem.
There are lots of phono preamps that have one or more aux input ports in addition to the built-in Riaa amp (they are basicly a switch).In that case you do not need the ‘phono preamp/aka Riaa preamp’ that you mentioned in your first post.
Beware – but you probably know it – that some BG’s already have a Riaa preamp built in.
P.S.
On a side note – personally I would not bother about ‘tube’.
The Theatre has many options to ‘design’ the sound for the inputs.
You can make a sound setup just for the line input there pretty much to your likings.
However, that is just my opinion.MM

‘I mean BG>phono preamp > preamplifier>theatre’If there already is a ‘phono preamp’, there will be no need for further preamping.
That is the way any BG must be setup to a line-input.I was just curious, if etype76 wanted something extra to manipulate the signal – some people want to add tube preamps and alike, when they want to listen to vinyl.

Location: Flensborg————DanmarkWhen I had my A8, it was running on wifi – so that should not be a problem.
The problem is your new router/the settings.
Hard to say anything, when one does not know the brand, the settings, the strenghts of the signal.After resetting it, I would try connecting it with a cable – that some times helps and can give you access to the menu for the wifi password.
Use the Bang & Olufsen app to set it up.MM
Location: Flensborg————DanmarkGreat – we should be happy to be the costumers of such a company.
Not many would offer that kind of service for a buyer of a second hand product, that is long eol.Personally I haven’t heard of this before – but obviously they knew.
Have fun with your M5.
P.S.
This should be the latest/recent sw:
Software 2.1.50868 – Release date 31st October 2022MM
Location: Flensborg————DanmarkThe Beosound 8 never had a wifi/network connection option.
MM
Location: Flensborg————DanmarkIch kann da nicht viel helfen.
Aber eine Anleitung findest du hier…..falls nicht schon bekannt:
https://www.manualslib.de/manual/18428/Detoma-C550-Aktiv.html#manual
MM
Location: Flensborg————DanmarkThe latest official release didn’t have any of these problems.
Unfortunately I can not say the same.
Mine behaves similar with the regular SW.
These issues are probably the reason why they haven’t released an official update yet (just the beta).
It is quite annoying – however, when it works (which really is most of the time) the setup is amazing….never thought my speaker setup could sound that good ?The worst thing is, that my wife tells me that she would not know what to do, when that happens and she is alone with the problem.
She keeps telling me that she liked our old Avant 1st gen more ?P.S.
Of course I have reported it, too.MM
Location: Flensborg————DanmarkI haven’t heard about this before – but it seems to be a fake M5, a copy.
Have you contacted the seller about this?
Could you post some pictures?
MM
Location: Flensborg————DanmarkIf you are just looking for switching between the tv and the projector……and you have all sources connected through the Theatre, I imagine that any modern 2.0 HDMI splitter will do the job.
Which switch from Atlona did you use?
MM
Location: Flensborg————DanmarkWell – both are ASE products.
So, it must have something to do with the CC version.
I will ask my friend to look after the version in M5 respectively in M5.
Or do you know more?
What do you mean by does not support ‘any longer’?MM
