Nice. Thanks.

Hmmmm ... now there's a thought. I'll have to check with my B&O Service Rep to see if I can feed the signal through the BS9000 to use its Headphone jack. Or I can just try it... Your solution should work too - but if I'm tapping the signal before (or as) it gets to the AV7000 - I can go ultra lo-tech and just use a RCA switch/splitter

Sorry - but can you clarify. Is the line-out from the AV7000 ?

That's a thought - but then the B&O will remain the central controller and the passive speakers are essentially made active through an intermediary amp. But I don't think that will work with ...http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Polk-SurroundBar-True-Surround-Speaker-Black-SURROUNDBARB/sem/rpsm/oid/141406/catOid/-16881/rpem/ccd/productDetail

I've had this setup for over 5 years and it works great. I have no rear speakers because I hate the thought of running wires over the carpeting. My next project will be using something like the Yamaha or Polk surround-sound-in-one-speaker - but that probably means moving away from B&O. Now - I take it you don't have a need for using headphones

I could plug headphones into the BS9000 to listen to CD audio. But I'm interested in listening to DVD or AUX audio through headphones.

Is there any support for audio-out to headphones? I don't see a headphone jack anywhere on the unit. My setup: I have a AV7000 hooked into the Beosound9000 (through the adaptor); the AV7000 drives a set Beolab8000 speakers and a non-B&O subwoofer. The AV7000 also takes in non-B&O audio (DVD player and MP3-audio-in via AUX input). Thanks
