[quote user="tkl95"] On topic 4, I have indeed a very symmetrical setup in a 6x5m room. [/quote] In that case, AST would probably be of no benefit to you. It's a solution to a problem - but you do not have that problem... :-) Cheers -geoff

Hi, I need to know more in order to help you. You say "the echo problem". Can you be more specific? Which speakers are early and which are producing the echo? Cheers -geoff

[quote user="tkl95"] 1.) Is it true that I need to purchase a new Beosystem 3 in order to have AST? 2.) Or can my Dec 2006 Beosystem 3 be upgraded with the AST module and about how much would that cost? 3.) I currently have 1xBL7.1, 1xBL2, 4xBL5, so currently my BL2 does not produce any sound anymore. B&O statement was is normal BL5 overrules

[quote user="Razlaw"] However, I am confused as a menu appears that says Distance 1, Distance 2, Distance 3, Rotate and allows settings to be changed for all four of these. I do not see this menu anywhere in the user guide. What is it for? Selecting one of the distance options will produce a tone from one of the 5 connected speakers. I took

[quote user="beojeff"] I agree with Razlaw. It sounds like we've discovered that the Linear PCM issue can be helped with AST. Perhaps an unexpected benefit of AST! Please stop in from time to time and join in our BeoWorld discussions, Geoff. [/quote] Hi Beojeff. If you use AST, you will certainly get sound out of all of your loudspeakers

[quote user="beojeff"] Geoff, I've researched the issue with the PS3 and the lack of utilizing all the speakers. It seems that it's a common surround processor issue found with cheaper surround processors. (I hope this matter can be fixed so that the BeoSystem 3 maintains it's status as one of the superior surround processors!

Hi Razlaw, [quote user="Razlaw"] 1. The Beolab 1s are placed in the back corners of the room/sitting area. Just behind and to the sides of the sitting area. In the setup menu they are identified as as left and right surrounds. Is this the correct setting for a 5.1? My understanding is that it is but the next question will explain why I ask

[quote user="beojeff"] Thanks for the response, Geoff. I have the speakers correctly labeled as "surround" and "back." (I just used the terms "side surround" and "rear surround" to be more descriptive.) It seems odd that the BS3 uses the (side) surround speakers and not the rear speakers for 5.1 blu

[quote user="beojeff"] I have a 7.1 B&O speaker setup with my BeoSystem 3. All 7 speakers are rarely used. Moreover, there is a difference in sources as to which 5.1 speakers are used: with blu-ray (via PS3) 5.1 uses the side surrounds but not the rear surrounds, but TV and DVD use the rear surround speakers but not the side surround speakers

[quote user="Heribert"] Just for BS3 based TVs. Is there any plan to bring it down to BV8 in the next years (e.g. by using a small "AST-Box" or better a SW Update? Thanks and have a nice weekend Heribert [/quote] Hi Heribert Sorry, but I don't have an answer to this question. Firstly, I honestly don't know the answer. Secondly
