Hi all,
I have a BL7-1 as center speaker on my BV7-32. 2 BL 8000's as fronts and 2 BL4000's as rears. I have noticed that speaker option 4 on my BEO4 gives a more ''complete sound'' where the speaker option 5 gives my BL7-1 a big boost that dominates over the other speakers. Is there a trick to reduce the volume on my center speaker? I have set the correct distances of the speakers on settings menu. There is no sub on the system….yet.
Any clues ??

In our 7-40's menu there is a setting that allows the relative volume levels of the speakers to be set.
Beovision 7-55 with Beolab 7-4, 9s and 4000s
Beovision 10-40 with Beolab 1s and 6000s
Beosound 1, 5, 2000, and 3000

You can`t reduce volume for the center. Just increase volume of front- and rear speakers, this will change balance of the speakers and will give you the same result.
SPEAKER 5 is meant for surround sound, DD or DTS 5 (.1) channel decoded. SPEAKER 4 is 2x stereo (front stereo, rear stereo).
So listen to a 5.1 DD or DTS DVD before changing the sound settings.

I agree with Stefan here. The reason for a dominating center speaker in Speaker 5 mode, could be that you were listening to a mono signal, then almost all the sound will come form the center speaker.

Thank you for the prompt answers. Indeed increasing the levels of the other speakers and playing a little with the balance front/rear things got better. Thank you
