Hello Graham,
Yes, your speakers are connected to your BS3, they are not affected by a change in monitor.
But be aware that your BS3 needs to be able to respond to your remote control, by means of an IR receiver. I am not so familiar with BV4 screens but believe some have a an IR sensor on top, some not.
If your current screen has one, like this:
you will need a separate IR eye, like this:
Is there not a possibility to source a modern 55 inch screen from a B&O dealer, who can help you get you up and running?Best of luck,Regards,JohanLocation: Netherlands

Hello Graham,
When your BS3 has a DVI output, you will need a DVI to HDMI cable.
Assuming your BS3 has a separate IR eye connected already now, your system might just work as before as the Samsung should start when an HDMI is detected (maybe have this confirmed by your dealer).

Hello Martin,
These are from the BeoLink handbook:
The color scheme depends of course on what type of cable you have.Hope it helps.Regards,JohanLocation: Netherlands

Hello Martin!
Wow that is a nice upgrade!
Your connection idea will work fine. B&O advises CAT7 for their S/FTP cabling, I would just stick with that.
Could these be an option for you:
they will save you a ‘mechanical’ connection in the signal path.

Great that you keep them going J. Malonson! When they are still on their amps, the Pentas look a bit more ‘technical’ in my opinion. Enjoy and thanks for sharing!

Hello david Sander,
They are BeoLab 4000s no? Another indicator is whether the status LEDs are switches (mk1) or just indicate status (mk2) check also https://beocentral.com/beolab4000.
According to Beoworld’s product section, the mk2 was introduced in 2007, and your serial number indicates that too.
Very versatile speakers in my opinion, and I really like how the wall-mounts work with the ribs for positioning.

Hi lenhi,
The 8 lead cable with the brown/blue/green/orange should be a shielded CAT7 S/FTP cable, normally used for ethernet connections. The white leads are twisted with one of the colored leads. It is perfectly possible to use CAT7 cables for MasterLink connections: try to find a BeoLink handbook (best is to be come silver/gold member of course, for access to manuals!).
Some time ago I made such charts for my own cabling needs:
Maybe the tables can help to redo the connections in your junction boxes.Hope this helps.Regards,JohanLocation: Netherlands

Hello Graham, I remember this conversation here: https://forum.beoworld.org/forums/topic/beosystem3/.
I reckon you never pulled the trigger on the Sony TV? I think the comments of Millemissen are very good. They are not only about how to set things up, but also about the ease of use afterwards.
Most convenient could be a TV that switches on when a signal (given by the BeoSystem 3) is detected. Then you can control the system as you do today.
The downside could be that then you do not harvest the 4/8K image a modern TV provides, as the BeoSystem 3 provides HD signals max.

Hello RAFA 1986, the BeoLab 11 is said to have line-in sensitivity: it switches on when there is a sound signal detected (and off when there is not).
Do the 11 & 8000s switch off when you unplug the DAC input from the 11?

Hi,
The latest addition, a very nice P6. Sounds impressive and I like the somewhat old fashioned Braun style of it.
I thought about an M3 too (for multiroom) but trust this one is better for shower condensation.Regards,JohanLocation: Netherlands

I use a BC26 mainly for audio 🙂. Giorgione, would a pair of trumpet stands be something?
B&O stands are very good. BeoVision 1 (nice TV too!) had beautiful stand options. Probably too large to repurpose for speakers. I am afraid that many are taken to trash with the TV nowadays.
Are you now all happy with connectivity of the system?
Have a good evening,

They look amazing, I like the stands in black most. Your cables look thicker than BeoLab 8000 rubber tubes!

Yes, just great that such specific parts are available to keep our B&O gear in great shape.
These feet are on my BeoMaster now https://www.dksoundparts.com/product/rubber-feet-set-beosystem-5000-5500-6500-7000/ . Very pleased!

Hello benjnz,
I use a 1611 converter to go from DataLink to MasterLink. You will not need IR eyes (the 9300 has one for local usage).
The option setting of the 9300 can be ‘0’ when you have no speakers attached, and then the BLC can be an audio slave.
In the menus of the other BLCs (ML/NL converters) you can set what the CD command in that ML chain does.
Hope these remarks are helpful! I will be a bit of puzzling always :-).
Good luck!

Hello (sorry not answering Vedet’s post), but I can report that the app 7.4.1 works for a large extent on my (M4) Mac mini now!
Still on the iPhone I have some troublesome playing DLNA albums (shuffle not working as it should).
