Okay thanks than there’s still hope 🙂
My Theatre is on sw v2.3.4 are you on the same?
Also, how does these show on your BR1? Mine only shows “HDMI A” despite I have changed it to “Blu-Ray” in the app for the Theatre.
is your PS5 and Apple TV connected to your TV or Theatre?
And, a you control it with a BeoRemote one rather than your Apple Remote?
So I’ve played with my setup a little more today and the CEC controlling of Blu-ray player connnected directly to the Theatre is absolutely rubbish. In fact it doesn’t work at all.
1) when CEC is not disabled in the Theatre I cannot switch away to other sources once the Blu-ray player is turned on. E.g. when I try to watch live tv while the Blu-ray player is still powered on the tv attempts but is quickly pulled back to the Blu-ray player as a source.
2) when I disable CEC in the theatre I can freely change source to for instance live television.
3) at either approach 1) or 2) I can only control with my BeoRemote after I have started to control the Blu-ray player using the LG remote that came with my CX television. But still after a while of not controlling the Blu-ray player I loose the ability to control it with my BeoRemote one until I again first initiate the controlling with my LG remote.Have any of you experienced this issue and if so is there a solution?
Very late last night I made it work with CEC with the Blu Ray player connected directly to the Theatre.
It wasn’t obvious to me but I connected the Blu Ray to HDMI A on the Theatre. Disabled CEC for this port on the Theatre. Then via the LG menus I set the Blu Ray player up to be controlled via CEC and then I could control it with my BeoRemote One (via the Theatre).
If you do not deactivate CEC in the Theatre it kept jumping out of the setup process on the LG. Incidentally after this process I could control the Blu-ray with my BeoRemote one even with CEC turned off in the Theatre. I have not turned it on again as when I turned off the system the Blu-ray player didn’t turn off.
Controlling the Blu-ray with BeoRemote one worked fine otherwise. Can report back later when I’ve had a chance to test it more but it definitely is possible to control a Blu-ray player connected to the Theatre with the BeoRemote one.Today I connected my Blu-Ray player to HDMI A of the BeoSound Theatre. I would have assumed I could then control basic functions of the Blu Ray player via CEC but it doesn’t control anything at all.
I know I can connect IR PUC cable but would have thought basic functions via CEC would suffice.What am I missing please? I’ve left “disable CEC” to off in the “source startup behavior” menu.
My three Beolab Receiver 1’s all show different firmware, is it the firmware that is supposed to update or is there a separate software?
My three receivers have the following firmwares:
FW Version 189-10
FW Version 193-3FW Version 208-3
When downloading the software update from B&O the included text file shows the following description for the receiver but it doesn’t really compare to my firmware versions hence I am unsure whether it is the firmware that is meant to update.
from text file from B&O:
BeoLabR1: 1.0.1.7196 (FEP: 1.00a), (SUMMIT: 0208-03)I’m not sure I understand the issue or reasoning.
When you play to the Beolab 28 only, they are working without the Theatre right? If so they are on Wi-Fi and have good connection.When you use the wireless connection between the Theater and the Beolab 28 they are using a wireless wisa connection (rather than Wi-Fi) between the Theater and the Beolab 28’s. It is not your standard Wi-Fi so a wired Ethernet cable to the Beolab 28’s with Internet connection would not improve the connection.
However a Powerlink cable between the Theatre will replace the Wisa connection and thus eliminate a dropout (obviously Powerlink is nowadays in the RJ45 format as well).Sorry if I misunderstood your post though.
Mine is fine but I only have the LG connected via HDMI. As for speakers I have 7 wired to the Theatre.
The system works fine but I can’t integrate it with my link NL/ML system. Have heard that a sw update should allow for that.I wasn’t aware I could request an update fix via the dealer but I suppose if it isn’t generally released to everyone there might be a reason for it and it could introduce new and different issues. At the moment the only issue I have is batteries are used quickly and I can’t activate sources of music from my link system.
Just replaced batteries again. This is the second time in slightly less than 3 months so seems to last 6 weeks before needing to be replaced.
Here’s hoping a software update will eventually fix this.
Is anyone aware of B&O’s software update policy? I.e. whether to fix smaller issues as and when or to release few software updates that are intended to fix all issues at the same time? I guess I’m just wondering as I haven’t seen any updates since I installed the system in Dec-22.
Is it the same remote you are using or have you purchased a new one for the Beosound Theatre?
It happened again yesterday but it turned out the kids had been playing with the Apple Home app and assigned new names. All is well.
Last night I noticed that the name (which you can assign yourself) of the Theatre had been changed to something random.
I couldn’t change it back via the app. It prompted me to do so via Apple Home app which I couldn’t figure out either.
then I unplugged the Theatre and restarted it and then I could easily change the name back via the B&O app.
The arbitrary name was a combo of the name of a Bluetooth speaker I have and some random numbers. How can this happen and have you experienced anything similar?my first BeoRemote One is the one I purchased with my BeoSound Theatre.
after a month of normal use (television in the evening) the remote is prompting me to change the batteries. The remote was brand new and I used the included batteries.
Is this normal or is it perhaps due to it ran software updates when I first took it in use?
It seems excessive to change batteries every month but I don’t know whether this is normal?What’s your experience?
How are software distributed; one region or country at the time? I still don’t have the latest version as I’m still on v2.3.4
How does that work?
(my Theatre is set to automatic updates and it states I’m at the latest version)
I don’t have an Apple TV connected, just running the stock apps in the LG TV.
The Atmos test videos I am playing via Plex and the stock Plex app in the LG.
I have tested some different sources that presumably should be in Atmos.
- Apple Music, tracks marked with Atmos (same setting turned on my settings) shows as PCM 2.0 in the Theatre. I am playing this via AirPlay to the Theatre.
- Atmos sound files downloaded, they do not show as Atmos in the Theatre but rather shows up as:
Channel allocation: 7.1 and Codec: DolbyDigitalPlus.
I find this rather puzzling, I was expecting they should all be recognised as Atmos by the Theatre.
I suppose (cannot see why) that a 5.1 file that is non-Atmos will distribute sound upwards to a higher sound distribution. i.e a hard 5.1 file can only be a 5.1 sound or less.
***
The source material is 5.1 Atmos. And, the theatre is still recognizing it as “Atmos” which is why I’m puzzled as I thought you needed a 7.1 channel source to be Atmos.I have 6 speakers (front, back and height) and 1 subwoofer connected to the Theatre.
The Theatre has identified this as a 7.1.2 setup. The x.x.2 are my height speakers and x.1.x the subwoofer.
The remaining 4 connected speakers and the Theatre is 5, the “missing” 2 to make it 7.x.x I assume is 2 up-firing speakers in the Theatre. Is that correct?Btw you (forum posters) sometimes refer to seeing which of the speakers in the Theatre that are active and turned on, where do you see this please? I haven’t found it in my app.
thanks BeoMedia
