Hi all,

New member here, looking to be part of the B&O family. I never imagined I will be able to afford beauties like the 18s, but here I am.

I need to confirm if the Onkyo TX-RZ810 will work with the Beolab 17, 18 and 19s through the Transmitter 1.

Here is a link to the product sheet.

Thank you.

That onkyo will work just fine, you will need three rj45 to rca cables (front, rear, sub) to go from the transmitter to the rca preouts on the onkyo.

Hi dptrvt,

Welcome to Beoworld!  Yes, neilgk175 is correct, you need 3 x RJ45 to twin RCA cables to link from the pre-out sockets of this receiver to the Transmitter 1 for a wireless connection to 2 x Beolab 17, 2 x Beolab 18 and 1 x Beolab 19 speakers:-

Good luck with the Transmitter 1. I had really bad issues with it in the year I had it and I had two in that time. It seems to have been down to 5ghz WiFi and WISA. My dealer sorted it with a new router using my old one in bridge mode and configuring the router to workwork in a higher band range. 

I've since got the eclipse and have no issues at all but if you can, I'd advise hardwiring your beolabs or checking out the competition - there's a German company making a rival to the T1.
