Hi,
I am interested in purchasing a beosound 4 to pair with my beolab 3s. But I also plan to connect non-b&o dvd player or TV to the beosound 4. I know the bs4 has AUX in, can I connect bs4 to dvd player or TV through AUX connection? Am i going to lose any sound quality this way? As I am not sure which unit actually does audio processing. is the volume controlled by bs4? And does bs 4 has digital audio in?
Also, would i experience aduio/video delay issue through this set up? because there might not be lip sync function in dvd player and TV
my idea set up:
bs4 =>beolab 3s through powerlink
bs 4 => dvd player or TV through AUX analog connection
DVD player => TV through HDMI
Sorry to ask too many questions, I am newbie.
Welcome to Beoworld ... and don't worry, with products as sophisticated as B&O's we all are newbies in one area or another -- and often we have conflicting views which makes for great debating -- but we are all virtual friends here, so welcome
mivsbai:I know the bs4 has AUX in, can I connect bs4 to dvd player or TV through AUX connection?
yes you can
Am i going to lose any sound quality this way?
possibly - but compared to what ? compared to using the Beolab 3s in line interface mode ?
As I am not sure which unit actually does audio processing.
the DVD and/or TV will be doing the processing
is the volume controlled by bs4?
yes, but no source controls of the DVD and/or TV
And does bs 4 has digital audio in?
no
mivsbai: Also, would i experience aduio/video delay issue through this set up? because there might not be lip sync function in dvd player and TV
I think there would be no delays, since the BS4 will not be doing any processing, simply managing the AUX in to the Power Link out.
my idea set up: bs4 =>beolab 3s through powerlink bs 4 => dvd player or TV through AUX analog connection DVD player => TV through HDMI
I think that should work; might find that
"bs 4 => dvd player or TV through AUX analog connection"
is better
