Ja, daar zit wat in. Zo ingewikkeld is het niet, een RJ45 erop knijpen 😉

Hallo roycke,
Naast het antwoord op je vraag in de pm hierbij nog het BeoLink handboek met daarin de pinouts van verschillende PowerLink oplossingen. Hoop dat het je helpt om je connectie issues op te lossen. Het aankrimpen van de RJ45 connectors is een secuur werkje!
Groet, Johan

Looks cool Evan! Will you make use of the ribbed backside of the BL4000s so the position angle can be varied (or will it rely on gravity and friction).

Hi mreilly2002, and welcome!
Connecting the Sky Glass TV’s eARC HDMI port with an HDMI port on the BeoSystem3 will not work. Search the archive forums and you will find threads like these: https://archivedforum2.beoworld.org/forums/p/23067/191023.aspx#191023 / https://archivedforum2.beoworld.org/forums/p/44743/324322.aspx#324322.
As I think there is no (optical) audio output on the TV, the option you have is to extract the audio signal from the eARC port and then feeding it into the BS3 either with a coax spdif or an HDMI lead, using something like this: https://marmitek.com/collections/hdmi-audio-extractor/products/connect-ae14-hdmi-audio-extractor-4k-arc or this https://www.reichelt.nl/nl/en/hdmi-earc-audio-adapter-extractor-4k-18-gb-s-pure-ptchdearc4k-p311687.html?CCOUNTRY=662&LANGUAGE=nl&GROUPID=5391&START=0&OFFSET=16&SID=93Xlul5qwQATUAAEhF17k8d54b7f16b05b0e810d1859a0f9e7465&LANGUAGE=EN&&r=1. There are many if you google a bit.
My advice is to be critical when selecting one: if I am not wrong the Marmitek wants you to press a button each time you use it? I would not want to do that!
I use a BeoSystem 3 for processing audio only using it’s spdif coax input and that works fine with me (5.1 max). I believe that when using one of its HDMI inputs you can play also 7.1.
Good luck, let us know your next steps.

Hi Joost, all, did anyone see or try this product: https://neomesteren.dk/en/produkter/neoradio?
What could be interesting is the claim “Neo Stream is developed for Neo Radio. You experience it as DAB channels. Change channels with your Beo4 or Beoremote One. It couldn’t be easier.” There is no manual available on the site, so how that exactly works is not clear to me. I would guess it converts internet radio into an FM signal that is fed into the antenna input plug.
It states that the Neo Radio supports BeoSound 9000.
Not supercheap either (3000 dkk / 400 eur) and currently out of stock.

Welcome to the forum JMK. There seems to exist a ‘converter’ according to this older beoworld thread: https://archivedforum.beoworld.org/forums/p/12394/92008.aspx. Not sure if that device would also translate Beo4 or BeoLink 1000 tone adjustment signals. The manual found here does not mention tone adjustment. https://beo.zone/media/files/Bang-Olufsen-Beomaster_5000-Owners-Manual-2.pdf.
I think Matador gives the best advice.Regards, Johan

Hi, I tried to capture the texture of the powdercoating on my 7-4. I can tell it was a massive improvement from the scratched and sticky ‘before’ situation. But it also costed more than the speaker :-).
Good luck, let us know the result!

Hello DanteM,
I have good experience with powdercoating. I brought a very sticky BeoLab 7-4 to a local shop, they sandblasted the empty cabinet (I made sure to put screws to avoid the threads get damaged or covered) and coated it with a light textured black coating. They normally make you choose from samples so you can choose how smooth or rough you want the texture. It does not feel rubbery but is much more pleasant to the touch than before and very tough.
I had some Beo4’s done as well and the coating holds really well. I can send a photograph tomorrow when there is daylight again if you want.

Hi Rolf,
I am now able to switch radio stations using Beo4 straight on. No need to use the app first anymore! I have not noticed a software update, but I did fiddle a bit with the Core settings though. The only thing is that I cannot choose the first station in the B&O radio list by pressing a ‘1’ nor pressing ’01’ nor pressing ‘1 GO’. The other stations do respond directly. I have asked B&O for this.
Keep you posted, Johan.

Hi Xavier,
Both my BLCs are “1.4.3.19864, December 11, 2015” and they work fine.
Hope this helps. Regards, Johan

Hello Hiort, sounds like the same issue that Rolf2 and I have, see here: https://forum.beoworld.org/forums/topic/bo-radio-migration-available-now/page/4/#post-12269.
We found that after changing station once in the app, then changing stations with the remote works as normal again.

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
