Weird problems.  Hopefully someone here with much more knowledge on the subject than me will be able to help you.

You should set all speakers (with such a setting option) to free. This is how they were measured in Struer, before adding the values to the BS Theatre for the Room Sense process. A BL2 (or any sub) should be connected with its own PL (with no daisychaining to other BL’s).….otherweise the BS Theatre will not know which values to use, when Room Sensing. According to the BL2 manual, it should be set to 3, since it is connected seperately to the system: “If you have a Dolby Digital system, and therefore no speakers are directly connected to BeoLab 2, we recommend that you set the SETUP switch to 3”. MM

Any idea whether the Phase setting on the 19 is still relevant with a Theatre or does the Theatre’s magic make the Phase switch redundant?

I can do that with my 28s as fronts using them as the music source, but don’t know of any way to do it otherwise.

Connected a BL19 to my Theatre today, along with 28s and 1s. Question….does the Phase setting on the 19 matter with the Theatre?

[Razlaw]

Sorry, I am not quite understanding.  How does the BLI facilitate the playing of the records?

What do you mean by placed on a stand?

thanks!

Also, see the last paragraph on page 7 of the user guide.  It is not possible to daisy-chain the 28s, which seems like what you are trying to do.
Hope these suggestions solve your issue so you can begin enjoying the amazing sound the Theatre and 28s produce.

I have 28s connected to the Theatre.  My connections are one PL to left, a second PL to right, one Ethernet to left, a second Ethernet to right.  I have heard that there is an issue with having the 28s directly cabled to each other when connected to a Theatre.  Additionally, ensure both are on the same software.  There was a recent update from version 1.8xxxxx to 2.3.4xxxxx. Even though my 28s had been working fine, when the update occurred, only one speaker took the update and then they stopped pairing.  Going into the app it would show both had taken the update but going in to the system overview page of the app showed that the second speaker did not take the update.  I had to do a factory reset of that speaker, remove from the system/app, and reinstall. It immediately took the update.  I had the exact same issue occur with my Emerges. Also, rereading your question, it sounds like you have a PL connected to one speaker, then Ethernet between the two using the Ethernet connections on both? If you are using PL on one, I think you need to run a PL cable to the other. I don’t think they will work with only one connected to PL. You do not mention an Ethernet connection from your router? Also, as suggested by previous post, after cabling my 28s I paired them before adding to the Theatre in the app.

I have a Theatre with 28s and 1s and a 19 in transit to me to try .  Unfortunately I had the dealer ship it to my work address and eta is Friday, but my work will be closed until Tuesday so that is the earliest I will get it.

[Razlaw]

Your comments make me wonder about my plan to add a pair of 4000s to the Theatre/28s/1s.  As you say, perhaps more is not always better.

Checked the settings on the G2…..there it does show connected to internet by Ethernet.

oh boy I want to avoid doing that as its a mess and I want the TV to get software updates. Something else I don’t know if it is a bug or not… I have the theatre connected to the LG by the special ethernet TV port. The B&O app on the TV says it’s connected fine and using any internet services on the TV also works fine. The weird thing is in network setting on the LG it says ethernet is disconnected (and wifi is set to off). Anyone else have this?

I have not looked in the LG, but when I go in to the LG app it shows my LG refrigerator and gives all of it’s information but says the G2 is disconnected.

[Razlaw]

Have watched it multiple times this year already lol

[Razlaw]

I no longer have my 50s but if my memory is correct, mine looked similar to yours.

I have a G2 and used the included flush mount wall bracket. It does allow it to be pulled out from the wall a few inches. In fact, that is how it is installed. The wall bracket is to be in the extended position when the G2 is attached to it. Once the G2 is mounted, it is then pushed flush against the wall and the bracket fold in to the recess on the back of the G2.

Ah. The salesperson at Best Buy must not have understood. He advised that the bracket that came with the G2 was strictly fixed.

I actually pulled my C2 forward a little so that it’s totally centered with the depth of the Theatre. I think it looks great floating like that.

I thought about doing exactly what you did as I thought it would look great.

@Razlaw, Have you ever added a BL2 to your BL1 speakers? It seems that most people find that the BL2 adds that extra bass that the BL1 lacks to really round out the BL1. That’s why I’m thinking that any subwoofer in the back of your setup might really add to your BL1 speakers that you like in the back. If nothing else, you can physically feel the presence during those action scenes.

Many years ago when the 1s were fronts, I had a Velodyne subwoofer connected. At the time that is what B and O dealers were selling as there was no B and O subwoofer.  I don’t really remember much about how it impacted the sound.

Part of me wants to put the 19 in the rear for exactly the reason you mention. But I also want it for music with my 28s, for deep bass that can be present in organ music. For that purpose I feel like it should be in the front.

I can already notice a huge difference adding a BL2 and two BL4000 speakers for front height to my existing setup of BL9 for front, BL1 for surround, BL9 for back and BL4000 for surround height. How perfect that this coincides with today’s release of “House of the Dragon” on UHD. I’m eager to try out the scene with two dragons chasing and battling each other.

another question….I do not have a place where I could put large rear speakers.  I am using my 1s as the left and right surround in 5.1. I have thought of using my 9s instead for increased bass, but like the height of the sound from the 1s. Any opinion on 9s V 1s in a 5.1 setting?

Purchased some 18s as a rear set of speakers to go with my theatre. Happy Christmas to me

I will be interested to hear your thoughts. I almost bought a pair of 18s for rears.
