There is also one setting ....SUBWOOFER SUBWOOFER. With that setting it is only possible to set one distance in the distance menu. It appears to be the normal one subwoofer setting.

There is also one more setting that will display SUBWOOFER SUBWOOFER. When that option is chosen it is possible to set only one distance whereas with the other settings two different distances can be set. That setting seems to be the normal one subwoofer setting.

You're welcome. From your pictures I can see only front and right subwoofer settings.

Here are some more pictures. All settings are not available at the same time. They appear when pressing the arrow key on the Beo 4.

Thanks Razlaw for explanation and picture !

OK, I think I understand how this works. My first supposition seems good: this is related to speaker distances for several subwoofers. SUBWOOFER/SUBWOOFER option is perhaps if you have 2 Lab 2 at equal distance from your listening position (default setup).

Curious thing is placing a subwoofer at the rear position is not recommended.

PS: The owner guide has not been upgraded at this time for show these new options.

What are the menu settings for each sub ?

The available settings are front, left, rear, and right.

OK. Curious... There is always only 2 PowerLinks outputs for subwoofers, but the software asks for the position of 4 subs ?

Could you precise how is the menu ? (or have you a picture ?)

SUBWOOFER ON/OFF

RIGHT SUBWOOFER ON/OFF

LEFT SUBWOOFER ON/OFF

FRONT SUBWOOFER ON/OFF

REAR SUBWOOFER ON/OFF

....... ?

The available settings are as follows under SPEAKER ROLES, one will be listed under the other, and they both change together when pressing the left/right on the Beo 4. It is not possible for instance to set both to the same position, other than the first option which is SUBWOOFER SUBWOOFER

The next option is

LEFT SUBWOOFER RIGHT SUBWOOFER , the next is RIGHT SUBWOOFER/LEFT SUBWOOFER followed by FRONT SUBWOOFER/REARSUBWOOFER and then FRONT SUBWOOFER/REAR SUBWOOFER and finally REAR SUBWOOFER/FRONT SUBWOOFER.

Also, when it is set to SUBWOOFER/SUBWOOFER there is only one setting for distance available in the distance menu. If the other options are chosen the distance menu will allow two different distances to be input for each sub.

Carolpa:
I tried two subs on my BS3. But because of the dimensions of the room it didn't impress me. It was over the top!

If one has a really large room I can imagining one wants a additional sub.

Two or more subs do not only give more power (not needed !): sound distribution is more even/coherent. I tested it intensively at my home. The result is definitely much better than only one sub. However my room has modest size: 4m large * 5.5m long.

I tested with 3 Lab 2 too, but the benefit is not really worth the prize. Since the BS3 there is two subs outputs. Full-range speakers (i.e. Lab 5s) are two bass units. I do not think this is only for large rooms, but because the listening position is more flexible with 2 subs than with only one.
