Guys, I am trying to connect my Beolabs 28 to the Theatre. 1 cable from Beolab 28 from PL to Theatre PL1. One cable from Beolab to the other meaning ethernet socket to the other Beolab ethernet socket. Problem is by going in to the app and adding both speakers only the left one (with connection to Theatre) plays a sound but the right one does not. What am I doing wrong?

Dont have BL28s, myself, but Im guessing you first need to pair the BL28s together in the BeoApp before the Theatre.

Then add the PL cable from the “master” to the Theatre (assuming you daisy-chain to the Slave BL28). You can also connect them via WISA if you wish?

I have 28s connected to the Theatre. My connections are one PL to left, a second PL to right, one Ethernet to left, a second Ethernet to right. I have heard that there is an issue with having the 28s directly cabled to each other when connected to a Theatre. Additionally, ensure both are on the same software. There was a recent update from version 1.8xxxxx to 2.3.4xxxxx. Even though my 28s had been working fine, when the update occurred, only one speaker took the update and then they stopped pairing. Going into the app it would show both had taken the update but going in to the system overview page of the app showed that the second speaker did not take the update. I had to do a factory reset of that speaker, remove from the system/app, and reinstall. It immediately took the update. I had the exact same issue occur with my Emerges. Also, rereading your question, it sounds like you have a PL connected to one speaker, then Ethernet between the two using the Ethernet connections on both? If you are using PL on one, I think you need to run a PL cable to the other. I don’t think they will work with only one connected to PL. You do not mention an Ethernet connection from your router? Also, as suggested by previous post, after cabling my 28s I paired them before adding to the Theatre in the app.

Also, see the last paragraph on page 7 of the user guide. It is not possible to daisy-chain the 28s, which seems like what you are trying to do.
Hope these suggestions solve your issue so you can begin enjoying the amazing sound the Theatre and 28s produce.

Thank you very much. I will enjoy it with Wisa.
