Hi,
As pointed out by Guy in another thread, this one is rather quiet.
So here is my contribution.
My setup includes products from the 80s to today.
The elder: Beogram 6006 bought in 1984. Latest arrival: Beoremote Halo bought in 2025.
Everything is connected in a Datalink/ML/NL network, explained in the attached schematic.
Bedroom 2: Beocenter 9500 with Beovox 4500 (Beoworld prize draw).
Study: Beolab 2500 connected to the NL/ML converter.
Technical closet: Beogram 6006 and Beocord 2000 Deluxe. Non-B&O sources on the right.
Playing on the Beogram: 1970s demo and testing LP from B&O.
Bedroom 1: BV9 and Beolab 6000 (Beoworld prize draw).
A nice way to wake-up.
Living-room, front : Theatre, Beolab 50 and Beocenter 2.
Living-room, rear: Beolab 8000. Halo for the 50s and Beo5 for Cabasse speakers connected to Beolink Passive.
The Cabasse speakers.

Hello Beofile and 10%,
What I understand in the explanations of the BL50 Technical Sound Guide is that narrow mode minimizes the influence of wall-reflections by narrowing the angle formed by the 2 moving wings placed under the acoustical lens. On wide mode, the wings are aligned so room-reflections are less reduced.
So, as 10%, I tend to think that Room compensation and beam width are linked.
I’ll stick to my plan.
Thanks for your help and kind regards,
Yann.

Hi,
Thanks for your help.
Yes, Chromecast is enabled.
The version number shown in the app is 1.28.102057.
The only (and unchecked) choice is to share the use-datas with Google.

Hi Michiel,
Attached some documents.
They are for the Deluxe versions, but I think that there are similarities with your version.
Kind regards,
Yann.
@ Mark:
Feel free to add them to the manuals base if it may help.

Hello,
B&O Radio is mentioned on the product information page, among the integrated music services.
What really misses, and this is also true for the whole portfolio, is Qobuz.

Bonjour Dueno,
Je connais déjà Mad, il est malheureusement trop loin de chez moi (plus de 500 km).
Mon dernier envoi chez eux s’est mal terminé: mon Beocenter 9000 a été détruit par UPS pendant le transport.
Aussi je cherche une station technique plus proche, afin de pouvoir apporter moi-même mon matériel sans aller aux 500 diables.
Cordialement,
Yann.

In fact, everything is in the display.
So if it’s rectangular –> Beo6
If it’s a square –> Beo5

Hi,
I cannot help you for the 1st question.
For the 2nd, connect a USB to mini USB cable to the charging base.
I assume that you have already installed the configuration tool on your PC.
Attached a very useful guide written by another Beoworlder, I hope it will help you.
Note that it is VERY important to have the Beo6 fully charged before downloading the file created in the software to the remote.
May I suggest you to read the other posts is this sub-section, you’ll learn a lot of things to know about this remote.
In the archived forum there is also a Beo5/6 section with a lot of informations.
Kind regards,
Yann.

Hi Politician,
As you, I swapped to an USB connexion, which works fine at 192/24.
Kind regards,

Hello,
@ Beofile: I doubt that our problems are linked, since yours seems to be recent while mine is present since a long time.
@ Mr 10%:
I bought a Wiim Pro+ 2 years ago together with the 50s. The problem was there from the beginning and I limited the bitrate to 96 kHz as per your 2nd suggestion.
Since I was not satified by the situation I recently changed the Wiim to a Wiim Ultra, expecting things would be better with this new model. Unfortunately not.
But fortunately the Ultra has an USB Audio output which works well a 192 kHz/24 bits.
So with this solution the problem is solved, but I was still wondering if my 50s were defective.
BTW, what is your opinion on USB Audio and why do you prefer to feed your BL90 with an analogue connexion ?
I suspect your DAC’s performances are higher than the 90s one (and in this case what are the key criteria to compare) , but are there other reasons?
Have a nice sunday,
Yann.

I edited my previous message with a detailed procedure.
Other point: I would delete or hide the sources of the 9000 in the V1 screen and vice-versa.

Hi,
Assuming that you do not use the 2 product simultaneously (I know nothing about the Almando product):
1: Create a zone for the 9000 and another one for the V1
2: Move the V1 zone under the 9000 one, so that the 2 zones are considered to be in the same room.
3: Add the 9000 and it’s speakers to the 9000 zone
3b: Set the 9000 to option 1 (right-click on the product’s picture to get the sub-menu, it might be the case as there are 2 sub-zones in the setup)
4: Add the V1 in it’s zone
4b: Set it to option 1
5: Add the logos, etc for each product and go to following screens.
Then, you can pass from one system to another by changing the zone.

Yann.

Hi Bo,
Since my 50s are connected to a Theatre through Powerlink, I prefer to avoid any potential conflict between PL and DPL.
And to be honest, I didn’t notice the DPL output on the Core.
That’s the consequence of the lack of documentation available on the B&O “help” part of their site.
I really miss the detailed and complete paper guides which were previously available.
Because the skeletal FAQs with 2 or 3 items offered now is of no help for complex questions.

Yann.

Hi,
I have a similar problem with my setup which includes Core and BL50s.
I suppose that you feed the Core through it’s optical input and assume that the Core’s toslink input has the same limitations.
Here is an explanation found in the Beolab 50 technical guide:
13.10 Optical input not working
The Optical input will not accept sampling rates above 96 kHz due to unreliability of an optical digital audio connection at higher sampling rates.
