Hello Matador, I did use this battery https://www.123accu.nl/Bang-Olufsen-8700091-HHR-120AAB33-F1x2-accu-2-4-V-1200-mAh-123accu-huismerk-i47359.html for some weeks now and it seems to work fine.

Hello, that is correct. I bought two batteries in the end.

This one did not work.

It seemed to work at first, but would not charge. Sometimes it showed it was fully charged, but when the remote was taken off the charger, it told it was low.

This one (from here: https://www.123accu.nl/Bang-Olufsen-8700091-HHR-120AAB33-F1x2-accu-2-4-V-1200-mAh-123accu-huismerk-i47359.html) worked:

Its box:

Hope this helps! Regards, Johan

Hi Steve, would it be an idea to explore how B&O has set up their support team, how they organized dealing with the different requests coming from their customers?

Hi emabonacchi, I do use my BeoSystem 3 like that. The video inputs go into my LG OLED c9 (like an apple TV), the audio signal comes from the TV through its Toslink (optical), is then converted to S/PDIF digital coax, and fed into the BS3. Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound is supported.

The idea is to use the modern 4K TV as the ‘video hub’, and the BS3 (with its MasterLink capability) as the ‘audio hub’.

Hello Mark,

Great to see you value BeoWorld, with all the work Lee and Keith have done to allow many to bring and take useful information for a better Bang & Olufsen experience. And have a good laugh (or rant) in doing so :-). Looking forward to your input!

Lee, Keith, it has been a pleasure to ‘feel’ your dedication through the years. I hope to see you on the forum for many more years to come. Many thanks to you.

Regards, Johan

Hi Carolpa,

To illustrate:

Name the CD source CD6500Carolpa in the BLC:Make it available in the Core:

And seeing it on the BR1 (under MUSIC)

So Bluetooth would be the best! (as MM already said). Regards, Johan

Hi Darkstar101, it seems your post was not meant for this thread? Regards, J.

Hi, I am assuming that then the BR1 will show the (in the app selected) NL sources (with the names given in the BLC settings) under the MUSIC button.

To your other question on the IR based communication in the diagram – the expectation is that ‘CD’ will start the Bs9000 and ‘[Link symbol]CD’ will start the BC2.

It is a pity that the Core does not have the settings page to link IR commands to NL sources as the BLC has!

Maybe something for the development team?

Regards, Johan

Hi,

It is not installed yet – for now it exists only in the above chart :-). We will have to wait a little before testing this.

I do actually hope the Bluetooth connection between BR1 BT and Core is so strong that the above is not necessary. (Will investigate ‘bridging/meshing’ Bluetooth in the meantime).

B&O support actually hinted that what we want to achieve is complicated, and a B&O installer should be consulted.

We will have to be a bit patient I guess.

Thanks for thinking with us! Regards, Johan

Hi all, after a dialogue with B&O support on the meaning of the sources ‘CD’ and ‘[Link symbol]CD’, we came to this outcome:

where the trick lies in Option 5 setting of the BC2.

The proof will be in the pudding I guess. For now it seems that this enables:

• Using a Core for PowerLink and S/PDIF signal paths
• Tucking the Core far away by using an IR eye
• Using two ‘CD’ commands for two CD sources under the MUSIC button of the BR1 in ‘BeoSound’ mode

Regards, Johan

With ‘Link symbol’ I mean this:

Hi MM, your observations are correct (and appreciated). The remotely positioned Core will require much longer S/PDIF and PL cables indeed. But having no cable clutter in the Living room is priority. Hence the IR eye (with BR1 limitations) or the above idea (unsure if feasible). Thanks! Regards, Johan

This made me thinking – could I bridge BlueTooth communication over Ethernet, something like this:Has anyone attempted something like this?

Thanks, Johan

@Tignum I do not understand the need/wish for an ir eye in this case. You (he) would need to have the eye some where reachable for the Beo4 including cabling. If someone want to hide a Core away, he IMO should go for a BROne/BT instead. Or is there something, that I don’t understand in the setup? MM

Hi MM, the Core will be placed in a utility room, easily 10-15m away from the living room, one level down. I am not expecting the Bluetooth signal to cover that distance. That is the reason to bring a wired (IR) sensor to the living room. I expect a much more reliable control this way. We already made peace with the idea that the CD command of the BR1 will be reserved for the BeoSound 9000. Still, playing from the BeoCenter 2 CD should be possible using the app. Thanks as always! Johan

Hello again MM, yesterday I played a bit with the Core and the BR1 BT (never really did that before – I bought the BR1 to control my BS3 with ‘navi’ in the first place). But it is really nice! With the radiostations in the screen, all source names etc. Hmmm – let at least keep all options open.
Regards,
Johan

Hi Paul, are you a magician? :-). That must have been the system logging that time I guess.

How many do you have?! Me four…

Hello Ryan, great that you found the issue, and thanks for sharing that. These DIN to RCA adapter cables can look the same, but can be wired very differently. Many of us found that out I guess 🙂

Hi Johan could you post or PM me some settings of your Core/BLC? Everything I try/change ends with the same outcome…… only one connected device is visible! thx in advance Paul

Hi Paul, is there something specific you want to see? Let me know, J.
