Yeah….I know. I meant that to me, it wasn’t a deal breaker for me demanding my money back.
Rest assured, I’ve been keeping Beocare fully occupied since receiving my Theatre telling them of the same bugs I’ve observed.
These however, do not work with the BL5’s.
INKT. ? Learnt something new there.
I think no matter what you do…..you will be listening to the BL5 DACs regardless.
CD Digital >> M-DAC >> Analogue PL >> BL5 ADC >> DSP >> BL5 DAC >> ICE >>
CD Digital >> SPDif >> DSP >> BL5 DAC >> ICE >>
I would suspect the BL5ADC is the weak link….but just guessing. (Educated guess as I was never happy with powerlink only on the BL5 compared to the SPDif connect which was much much better)
I would imagine that a Core plugged in to a BL5 (TOS/Coax + PL) would not have any problems. How it sounds….well that is for you to decide by testing at home or with your Dealer. The trick with the BL5 is to always use a digital signal in for music over Powerlink.
I have seen the core as out-of-stock and Im trying to find the source but believe the Core may be getting a WISA/Mozart update soon with a new chipset. (??)
I think the volume thing is not a hill of beans, just a muscle memory thing where the eyes tell you one thing but the ears say more. Once you get used to to 50-ish, it becomes second nature.
This is an old YT video on Noto and BL90 Design. The fabrication of the crown and its economics is described briefly here at 18minutes.
geoffmartin wrote: The sensitivity (the relationship between the levels of the input and the output signals) of the Beosound Theatre is the same as all other Beovision televisions (until the internal protection algorithms kick in). So, if you’re playing the same mix of the same input signal, then Volume Step 42 will deliver the same output level as on an Eclipse / Harmony / Beovision 11. Of course, this assumes that all other parameters are identical, which won’t make sense in most cases. (For example, I doubt that many persons will configure their Theatre to output only L / C / R as on an Eclipse.)Interesting. My observation of replacing an Eclipse on a one-for-one swap with a Theatre – even keeping the same wiring loom connecting BL90, BL3 and an Oppo 105 is that my typical “action movie” volume setting of 47 (sufficient) now runs 50-52.Nothing wrong with that…..it may be like a potent sports car…. The more power, the more mundane it feels as you accelerate with ease, the more you crave more power??Just doing research for the Essence/IR problem on another thread, found this.
BeoPart 6271214. IR Blaster cable with 3.5mm jacks to RJ45
Everything I see about the Essence I have seen is that it is a BT-remote controlled and that the IR port was placed there for “future” use. But dont take my word as 100% Only 10%.
Also, unless you are a Beo4, say a BR1 or Essence remote, they will need placing in IR mode rather than BT mode.
Attached is all I have from an obsolete Beolink reference manual.

I’m still ripping CDs. I’ve basically re-ripped my original ripped WMA files on the BS5, to FLAC, the re-ripped them all again with a Melco D100 ripper into a Melco N1 music server.
I have also migrated to Qobuz but still buy cheap CDs – often in used form from Amazon. It’s a cheap way of loading up on excellent quality rips which are yours to keep forever…..
I use Jaikoz to extensively re-tag my library to just the way I want it.
im sure my old BS5 can read all those FLACs again, but the age of CDs, rips and hard drives and so on is coming to end. Soon it will all be pay per view, including having your annual BMW seat-warming rental and your electric Mercedes that can accelerate just a little faster. Just hope I can keep all my effort going another 30years or so when it won’t really matter what happens to my FLACs
Shared bass across all loudspeakers to even out room-related issues.
Each to their own preferences. I saw a picture a few days ago of a 77in, with wings on a table stand on the floor (BV5/9/10 – like) looked absolutely stunning.
im with the low slung cabinet/plinth look to.
Go for it!
My opinion, is that the Theatre is a great leveller. I don’t think people should get hung up in speaker envy. If you have Beolabs and a Theatre, go for it and enjoy! It will be a great AV system and envy of many.
Get the Dealer to come in and fix the problem. You are clearly not happy and you paid the dealer some big cash for this. Make it warranty claim/non-satisfactory item claim.
There could be lots of things wrong in terms of setting and user configuration. There’s not enough there to really help you specifically. Your hardware should have more than ample bass – even at neutral settings – so genuine concern
The Theatre has a high-speed eArc cable supplied. Ask why they never used it – you paid for it. The old stage cable should go with the stage.
Check you are not in Night mode – that may make a difference.
Check Listening positions >> Select one >> Speakers Included >> Bass Management (120hz)
Check Sound modes >> Select One (movie) >> Advanced >> Check if anything is wrong here (hard to do as reference is not easy)
Failing everything, contemplate doing a complete factory re-set of the Theatre and re-build from scratch?
The wings can be done in-situ just by twisting the TV around. My installer did the same (agonising to watch – but it was part of the Training programme).
I would not be happy with anyone leaving cables behind a TV like that. Get him to install the cables so neat and tidy and correctly bundled and fixed. There is a massive real-estate space on the back of the Panel (not SMI) or on the wall to stick that power strip so you can gain 100-150mm of back-space from the rear.
The top edge of my SMI is nearest to the wall at approx 3-5mm gap. The Theatre rear is a good 25-30mm away (slight tilt of the Table stand). That means the panel rear has to be 60-80mm away from the wall at the base.
@xthx, Very nice setup and a 65” too. I thought it was a 55 from the thumbnail. Is that stand the one in the box? So you mounted the panel to the wall? I got the optional table stand and they installed the full circle of the stand but actually would like the half circle and get it closer to the wall. I wonder if it’s an easy change?
You will need to remove the panel from the SMI.
Then, this video shows the “circle” or “half-circle” plate assembly with 4 screws. https://player.vimeo.com/video/750347084?h=b64cfd67f4
I nearly went there. Glad I didn’t.
Ordered a 65in screen and 77in wings. Fortunately, due to delays, I could re-specify and the Dealer was very helpful.
The problem was to properly visualise that a 77in screen is 1771mm wide, 65in screen is 1441mm wide. So 165mm per side for “Eclipse wings look”. The standard overhang is IIRC, 70mm on the Eclipse 65 – so twice the overhang per side. Proportions are not good now.
Also, the finish/design of the Theatre wings is somewhat unresolved being fabricated a 10/12mm thick Alu/Plastic sandwich. The Eclipse wings were substantial rounded box-section for the actual soundbar – not a thin plate hanging in space.
My advice is buy the wings you need to fit your TV or have the soundbar be smaller than the TV. Visuals are better I think?
