Replaced noisy fans with the most silent Noctua fans I could find (on sticky old ugly bedroom BV7-32 that came with a BL7-1 I bought)

Hi Mr10Percent,
I use TIA/EIA 568 B standard mounted CAT7 in wall cabling, driving (a.o.) BeoLab 4000s. The cables are terminated with in wall RJ45 sockets, and I use RJ45 to DIN PowerLink cables. BeoLab 3s (also ICEpower) should then be OK too I reckon.
Member tuttivini cut off one RJ45 plug from Cat7 patch cables and soldered DIN plugs to them. He told me it worked fine.
You state ‘flat CAT7′, not sure if that makes any difference? It is the same shielding classification right?
Hope this helps. Johan

Congratulations to all lucky winners! Thanks PrizeBot (and your crew).
Happy Christmas to all around the BeoWorld.

Hi, I use:
BeoLab 8000s as the main stereo speakers +BL2, 7-1 & 6000s for surround sound in the living room
4000s in the kitchen, 3500 in the utility room
BV10 and BV7 in the office and bedroom.
Longing for BeoLab 5s!

Hi again, it was M5x20 ?: https://beoworld.org/forums/search/M5+head/
Just to close the loop when people find this post!
Good luck, Johan

Hi a2bur, and welcome to the (new) forum. Good to hear that it is solved. Thanks for sharing. Did you make an additional 4 pin connection between the BeoSystem 3 and one Penta then?
Must sound good with six Pentas ๐

Congratulations RobinWal! And welcome to the (new) forum. The speakers look amazing on the concrete floor. Enjoy! (while I keep on dreaming of them some more :-)). Johan

Gotcha! A loop milled from a strip. Smart “software guy”! (19:12).
Good persistence to hold on to a design philosophy so much that a weld (that normally is hidden on the back) gets eliminated because the speaker is 360ยฐ, and hence has no back!

Thanks for this Steve, I find it really interesting to see why some design choices were made. Still curious how the one piece bezel is actually produced before it gets bent and polished!

Thanks Rolf. Maybe it is the Core that needs a bit of software work then. I am afraid I cannot help you with the Moment [edit] issue. Best of luck!

With the fantastic new Theatre proposition, I think it is interesting to see how the audio and video signal management, and also audio and video reproduction have been going around various ‘cabinets’ over time:
From the ‘norm’ (I trust that there are historical exceptions) that everything is integrated in one cabinet to separable cabinets: (trying to be complete)
AV9000 – audio&video management + video reproduction in one cabinet, separate speaker cabinet (with VCR though)
BeoVision 4/12 – audio+video management in BeoSystem 1/2/3/4, separate screen, separate (center) speaker
BeoVision 7 – audio+video management & video reproduction combined, separate (center) speaker
BeoVision 9 – audio+video management in BeoSystem 3, audio (center) and video reproduction combined in one cabinet
BeoVision 5/6/10/11/14/Horizon & BeoPlay V1 – all in one
BeoSound Stage/Theatre & BeoVisionย Contour/Eclipse/Harmony – video management & reproduction in one cabinet (TV), audio management and reproduction in one cabinet (you could argue the Contour has no easily separable cabinets, but I believe the screen is actually a complete LG TV)
It looks like that first the speakers were isolated from the AV management, then later also the screen. Then it all came together again. After that the video management found its home in the screen, and the audio management in the center speaker. Which sounds quite logical to me!
I am using a BeoSystem 3 with an LG C9 and a BeoLab 7-1 center speaker, but actually only use the audio management and PUC control of the LG. All video management is with the LG. Bigger cable salad! ๐
Just a thought.

Watched the two video’s now, very interesting. I would see the thick aluminium fins of the Theatre also as a reference to BV6&7 secondary ‘bezels’.
Thanks Steve!

Hi Rolf, I confirm that my iPad app has that same software version (with the same problem still unfortunately).

Hi BeoMedia, I checked both my BLCs right now, and they run on time.
Johan
Location: NetherlandsMy B&O Icons:
Hi Rolf,
My BLC setup is practically the same (with a BeoSound Core and BeoLab 4000 though). Migration to B&O Radio did not help to fix what you describe. After a radio station switch on the B&O app, you should also be able to switch stations with the Beo4.
Thanks for opening a ticket too, let’s hope B&O goes hunting for this bug soon!

apart from one (quite annoying) change! โ I now MUST start radio from the app.
did you change your BLC settings (โIR Mappingโ) accordantly?
I did now! And it works. Thanks again for your help Carolpa!
When I first checked the BLC settings, I could not find ‘B&O Radio’ as a source. It turned out that in the set-up menu of the Core all source tick boxes (‘at sources in local list’) were unchecked. I re-checked the tick boxes, and ‘B&O Radio’ (actually ‘B&O Radio’) showed as a source in the BLC’s ‘IR mapping’ menu.

After an update of the app (on iPad) I am also able to use B&O radio (using Millemissen’s tip to rebuild a list of favorites from the bottom up). Playing my stations seems to work well from Core through BLC onto MasterLink, apart from one (quite annoying) change! – I now MUST start radio from the app. Radio with not start with the (IR) remotes. Only after starting radio from the app, I can use Beo4 to select the station or move up&down. The Core keeps playing radio after I switch (my BeoLink Active) off with the remote, but stops when I want to start RADIO (again) with Beo4. Has anyone else such a set-up (and issue)? My Core is at software 2.1.5087122855122.
In the other thread (https://forum.beoworld.org/forums/topic/new-software-edge-shape-core-bs1-bs2-a9-mk3-4/) I wrote that I corresponded with B&O about a similar problem (still with Tunein). I will see if there will be a change with any software update and let you know.
I am able to toggle between B&O radio and TuneIn, so for now I will use the latter that still behaves a bit better and does not switch off radio when I use the RADIO button Beo4.
Have a good evening!

Switching radio stations on the Core through Beo4 and MasterLinked products (using a BLC) did not work a couple of times now. After changing the radio station in the app however, it does work as normal. I will see if this persists and if I can replicate and influence and let you know. I did restart the Core and deleted and rejoined both the Core and the BLC to no avail.
I found out that after a full system switch-off (in the app, or with a long press on the Beo4) the issue arises: when I then choose RADIO on the Beo4, the last chosen radio station plays, but I cannot use the Beo4 to choose another station. Only after I change radio station in the app once, I can use the Beo4 again for changing stations (I use TuneIn btw). I will see if I can report this to the software team. Is anyone else seeing this too?
After some friendly e-mail exchange I received this answer: “We are pleased to inform you that yes it will be fixed in a future software update regarding the issue; the issue has been reported to the Product Development team, and they will provide a software update as soon as possible.”
