The issue has been resolved. I foundthat when my streaming device outputs PCM 2.0 audio without CEC enabled, the device itself has a separate volume control. By adjusting the volume to a normal level using its remote control, everything is back to normal.

My BST cant rename in the app，every time renamed it will return to beovision theatre，does anyone experience this bug？

[solidkd]

Maybe 8s as front and 8000 as rear will perform better in the surround system , 80% sound come from L C R，and 8s is technically better than 8000

The fabric cove is more classic BO style than wood imo

I’ve tried using ipad pro via usb-c to theatre but it didnt work

Still considering choosing between BL8s and BL17s for my FL/R…

I am very dissapointed by the Theatre, not the product itself, but the software. e.g. Spotify no longer listed in music sources, but in the tv sources list. Contacting B&O support… please sir could you do a factory reset? Have done it 4 times now and I am tired of it. You lose all your settings. Unbelievable.

completely agree with you,and there is no airplay source that i can set for

When did B&O suddenly start calling the theatre The “BeoVision Theatre” when it’s paired with a screen? The name also changed on its own in the app.

This seems very reasonable,just a marketing move.

Thank you Geoff, your blog just open my mind

[solidkd]

Yeah i think thats the advantage of the three way design，the 5inch subwoofer can focus on low frequency，but you should also notice that 28hz is under the -10db definition

[solidkd]

Here is a response graph which tested by a cn kol

[solidkd]

28hz-23khz,now it is show on the website

[solidkd]

I think 8’s bass is more than enough for stero music. In most cases there is no need to add a subwoofer unless you’re watching a movie

In general very pleased with the performance. The BL8 is better matched to the theatre and 28’s than the 17’s. Without much effort or tweaking they are much more present to give front L and R channels a big upgrade. Beam width is different from the 28’s. Wide setting is a more open and room filling experience but I still mostly prefer narrow for music as I do with th 28’s. the possibilities in modifying listening positions and speaker role assignment is endless and you can lose yourself trying different things. Like using the front L/R speaker groups as front is nice but you lose stereo imaging from the front BL8 as well as clarity and spaciousness without using the app to open the sound field. for music listening with 8 +28+19 it’s a great combo too.

I’m thinking moving my 18s to the back and add 17s or 8s as the FR and FL，but for the price i can almost get 2 set of 17s instead of 1 set of 8s and i can upgrade to maybe 5.1.2 system instead of 5.1.0. So 8s is really a big jump from 17s when it comes to a surround setup？Really appreciate for your suggestion.

Very curious to test this. tomorrow I’m collecting the 8’s to replace the 17’s as front L/R with BST as center, BL19 for sub and BL28’s as surrounds. Pity the ultra wide band feature is not ready yet. haven’t read anything about 17’s trumping the 18’s. Was this about woofer size and bass output! maybe I need to try and integrate the 17’s as height channels from the ceiling

How does it going？

[solidkd]

I have a pair of 18s connect to my BST as front left and right,and I set my BST front left and front right speaker as “subwoofer center” in b&o app and other BST drivers as “none”,but when playing music there’s no bass from my theatre,”true image” is on,is there anything wrong i done above?

In my old setup I had B&O speakers connected to a Marantz AV system, with 3 game systems and other HDMI cables connected in a cabinet bellow. It was a hot mess of cables and a major pain to change anything. It was all hidden though including the cables. When I got the theatre I decided to get rid of the cabinet and get the floor stand instead. The problem was I still needed to connect 4 HDMI devices like: Apple TV, XBOX, NINTENDO, PS5. So I put all those HDMI items in the closet behind the couch and listening position. I use a Hue Sync box as well which all the HDMI devices input to and then I run a single Optical HDMI cable through concealed floorboards to the theatre. Everything turns on and off through HDMI control, I never have to interact with the HDMI devices unless I insert a DVD game. It amazingly has worked perfectly since day one, all of it. In your case you can put the AV system tucked away somewhere and just run the one cable to the TV. https://www.cablematters.com/Blog/HDMI/how-do-active-hdmi-cables-work And you can wall mount your Apple TV somewhere hidden: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07BPX8KL8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 But honestly I just recommend the theatre. It’s rather glorious visually and the sound is amazing as well. I do suggest a Sony TV over the LG G2/3 though. Sony has much better picture processing. This is my previous AV setup with everything in the cabinet: This is the cabinet removed and all the cables required: This is after the theatre and all HDMI devices in the back of room. I was using a black cable hide temporarily. And in the end I hid them with some white cable hiders: Hope that helps

Just want to know can theatre’s TV connect part works with non-lg brand tv？
