In speaker 5 mode, it depends on the played source. DVD / BluRay - 5.1 TV (cable) - Stereo I will check the setup today regarding the "surround" & "rear" settings but I remember that I couldn't save the configuration if the rear speakers are described as "surround" Rgds Stephan

Thats funny, in my setup its vice versa... if I assign them as "surround" the software doesn't save the configuration, works only if I assign the BL8000s as rear speakers. Maybe it depends on the speakers connected .... Cheers Stephan

Hmmm strange.. I also got a 7-4 an d the setup was pretty easy in terms of PowerLink & speakers. If you sit behind the TV, on the right hand side in the middle you find the speaker section. First connector is the center, second connector the sub, all other connections are free. Plug your speakers in and go to the software menu and select the attached

Feel free to drop me a PM, if you like a translation. Best regards Stephan

BL4000 is 95 Euros for a pair, bought some 6 months ago....

To answer your question:Keep the 8000s, don't go for 4000s and forget the 4s :-)

If you compare BL3 and BL8000 as rears for movie surround, you won't notice the difference. In music (speaker 4) mode, the sound from the 3s is more detailed in high/midrange but in my opinion the BL8000 sound is "rounder / warmer" Currently I have a pair of Beolab 5s in the front and 2 Beolab 8000s as rears, I tried a pair of 3s last

Hatte ich bei meiner BS9000 auch mal, ging dann so weit, daß die Mechanik die CDs nicht mehr korrekt positioniert hat und teilweise nix mehr abgespielt hat. Diagnose von B&O, Laserlinse trübe, tausch der kompletten Lasereinheit. Wurde von einem B&O Techniker bei mir zu Hause erledigt, Kostenpunkt incl. Reinigung der BS9000 (Staub

Ganz klares "Jein" :-) Die Beo5 liegt gut in der Hand und ist ein nettes Stück Technik, mehr aber auch nicht. Meine vergammelt seit Ewigkeiten im Büro weil ich nicht dazu komme das Setup auf meine Wünsche abzustimmen und ich benutze stattdessen immer noch meine gute alte Beo4. Man hätte so viel aus der Beo5 machen können

Tricky one... besides all the audio hassle, getting sound from iTunes was never the problem with my setup... Could you get it sorted out? Rgds Stephan
