Stage/C1 is a common combination – there should be no problems there.
You can use the line input of the Stage for any audio device….with the right cable.
However, if you connect the BM5 you will have to deal with two x volume controls (and maybe even two remotes).
Do you also have the BS5 unit?
If you just want to have access to the music on the harddrive of the BM5, you can access the files throught the Stage/the Bang & Olufsen app.
You also have access to internet radio via the Stage, no need to use the BM5(/BS5) for that.
But maybe you like the BM5(/BS5) and want to keep it —— it is possible, but with some drawbacks.

This is odd – still not released (as far as I can see), but already unboxed/reviewed on YT:

Here is the direct link to the old thread in the archivedforum2.

An always inspiring thread ?

In that case it is not a MK3 version.
With the pre-HDMI versions you mostly adress the DVI as PC – however, there are different versions there (of the BV7 without HDMI).

Ein ML/MCL converter für multiroom system!
Was für Geräte hängen daran?

Du kannst den USB-eingang des BM5 für eine externe Soundkarte – genauer gesagt einen Behringer UCA222 – nutzen.
Z.B von hier:Dann hast du einen L/R Phono-eingang – dieses USB-gerät wird vom BM5 erkannt und ist durch A.Aux erreichbar (siehe Bedienungsanleiting des BS/BM5). Der Sonos Port muß dann auf ‘fixed volume output’ eingestellt werden – die Lautstärkeregelung erfolgt via das B&O-setup.
Ein Problem aber könnte sein, daß A.Aux nicht direkt von deinen Link-räumen erreicht werden kann. Dazu müssten wir mehr über das Setup wissen.
P.S.
Für den Ton eines TV’s ist das nicht zu empfehlen, da ein ‘Sound delay’ entstehen wird.MM
As long as the tv has an HDMI input port, that should be fine.
Just connect with a good HDMI cable and configure the device with a mobile phone/tablet….
With the Chromecast only picture and sound is shown/heard – all controlling happens in the sending device (apart from the volume control).
With the B&O tv you will have to assign a command/button on the Beo4 in order to turn on the tv to the right input.

Hi scanorama99
There were several threads in the (now) Archived Forum 2, where there was talk about this.
See here:
https://archivedforum2.beoworld.co.uk/forums/p/30790/356657.aspx#356657
The Willy, who is mentioned there, is not on Beoworld.
However, he is active in the Beotalk YT show – you may be able to contact him via the show or his social media.
But…..maybe another member will be able to provide more details.
It does not seem to be that hard, if you have some technical skills.

There is a Service Manual for the 1624, which on the first pages gives you an overview of the ‘buttons’ of that remote here:

There are several different versions of the Beo4 – and also different sw versions.
If you do not find the wanted entries in the List (by ‘adding’), they won’t be there. A ‘reset’ will not help.
So hard to say, if we don’t know more about version/sw version.
P.S. e.g. N.Radio came later, when it was needed for the actual current Beo-product. However N.Radio is the same code as Phono….if you have that on your Beo4

Well, I must be the only optimist around
No, you are not….I just find this kind of rhetorical questions a bit over the top.
Not worth spending much time answering IMO
MM
Double post
However, the other one disappeared ?
Henrik fra BOTF nåede også at få ‘nyheden’:

Thanks!
Which means, that they offer these new earbuds before B&O has launched them officially.
’Soul-stirring sound’…..that must be amazing ?
MM
Where/how did you find the pics/information?
When I try searching for Beoplay EX via the Support page, there is nothing.
When I try via the Google picture result, I – on the B&O site – am greeted with a request for logging in…..which never happened before.

Oder die deutchen Beofans kommen nicht in die Puschen

The BSys4/Sound Center platform – since that is the heart/the cornerstone of my setup.

I’d call that a bug in the Plex app.
What happens if you switch to another app, before you turn off the tv?

Hi Thought Police
It is nice to know more about your setup, your wishes and habits in using the system.
In addition to what Geoff wrote…….the solution that trackbeo mentions in his post would be one other possible solutions.
However this would require some additional hard (and soft) ware.
Roon is quite advanced – you will need to run a (Roon) server somewhere in your network (could be on the Mac).
Roon can play via Airplay, but that won’t bring you further.
If you want to play the files as they are, you will need an endpoint to connect to the 28’s and the network in that room. There are a lot of solutions for this out there – starting from a DIY Raspberry solution to totally overpriced.
And you will need the Roon app on a mobile device for controlling.
Yet another solution would be to have a DLNA server running on the Mac and point that to the music files on the Mac.
The Bang & Olufsen app has a section for playback of DLNA based music.
All in all you will have to deal with additional hardware and to learn how to cope with the stuff.
The great question however, is…..how much would you benefit?Some people will say that it is worth it – other will be more hesitant.
My advice would be to start out with simply using Airplay to the 28’s from an iPhone/iPad that has access to your local music on your Mac.
Thereafter you can start to do some experiments (if you are not satisfied).
It will take some time to find ‘the right solution’……..and after all listening to the music must have priority over gear, that might bring a bit of extra to the listening experience.
Once you have the A9 it can be adressed likewise. IMO it wise have a unified, convenient way of playing back your music.
Note! When using Airplay your wireless network should be up to date and well working. You could use the wired network connection in your rooms for additional access points, if needed.
Looking forward to read about how you get along – the 28’s are an excellent choice for speakers.
