They can be found at a very affordable price now. You&#39;ll have masterlink for your BeoSound 9000, powerlink connections for all of your B&amp;O speakers, and PUC control for your Beo4/5/6. The BeoSystem 1 can conrol the Apple TV and most blu-ray players.</p> <p>Monster makes an HMDI switch that can learn the BeoSystem 1 IR commands of the Zektor switch supported by the BeoSystem 1. That way, you can have automatic switching of sources that connect directly to your tv for 1080p via HDMI. You&#39;ll lose the menu overlay by doing this, but you can just write those commands on a notecard until you have them memorized.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/351889.aspxWed, 28 Dec 2011 01:28:06 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:351889viagrawal0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/351889.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&PostID=351889<p>&nbsp;</p> <div>Hi everyone!</div> <div></div> <div>I&#39;m based in Chicago and currently have the AV7000 with the BeoSound 9000, Pentas as Fronts, Beolab 4000s as rears, and a center channel with a passive speaker. &nbsp;I&#39;m planning on purchasing a new 1080p flat panel to work with a Blu-ray player and Apple TV, and I&#39;d like to accordingly update my B&amp;O setup to the latest. &nbsp;</div> <div></div> <div>Unfortunately I don&#39;t have the ability to upgrade to a Beosystem 3, so someone suggested I edit our B&amp;O setup by replacing the AV-7000 with a non B&amp;O surround processor, combining the beolab 4000s into a center channel speaker, and using RCA outs from the processor on each of the Pentas. &nbsp;And if possible, of course keep the Beosound 9000 as well.</div> <div></div> <div>I&#39;d be happy with a Center + L/R stereo setup without the rear speakers. &nbsp;Are there any AV processors you can recommend that I could then route al my devices in to (via HDMI), outing the audio from the processor to all the B&amp;O speakers and outing the video direct to my TV?</div> <div></div> <div>Thanks much, really appreciate the help!</div> <div></div> <div>Vivek</div> <p>&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
