Hi All,
Just wondering if using a beosound core will solve the problem of connecting non B&O TV (LG OLED) to WISA speakers e.g. BL17s and subwoofer ?
Cheers
Oasis, the Core itself has no WISA capabilities and as far as I know, someone can correct me if I’m wrong, but no way to connect to a television.
Currently: BeoLab 17, BeoLab 18, BeoSound Core, Beosound Level, Beosound A1 2nd Gen, BeoPlay S8 Connection Hub, Halo, Essence Remote
Previously: BeoSound 1 non-GVA
What you may want is the S8 Connection a hub. :)

BS Moment, BS Core, BG 4002, BC 4500, BS1, BL18, BL19, BL8000 + RCV1, A6, M5, M3, A1, P6 (tks Botty), H5, TR1
Perhaps an S8 connection hub would work as a one-box solution? I don’t know if it has WISA built-in. Best to Google! :)
As has been mentioned, the Core itself has no WiSA built it. So you'd connect the BeoLab WiSA transmitter to the powerlink output to accomplish this.
As far as connecting to a TV - I use this setup (with a Sony OLED, though) and Control4 so that the Core is both my B&O audio player, but also my TV sound component. I don't know if the BeoRemote 1 BT with a compatible LG OLED would communicate with both at once or if that feature is only for the Stage.
maybe an idea to choose a LG OLED with WiSa

Core to tv connection: spdif?
Hello, the best solution (to my opinion) is the Almando Multiplay Surround Decoder II. This one has a build in WISA module. (https://almando.com/almando-multiplay-surround-decoder-78.html)
I have this decoder connected to my Samsung TV and works like a charm. All my B&O speakers work in full surround mode. Unfortunately the web page is in German, but if you give them a call the can explain everything in English. The instruction manual is in English.
Carolpa:But that was not the initial question: it reads, imo, can I solve the wisa connections by adding a Core
Very nice the soundset! did not know this product. In my situation I had to connect a Beolab 7.1, Beolab 2 and the Wisa speakers. So the only solution was the Almando. (as fas as I know). Indeed the Alamando is not cheap.
Thanks for all the suggestions.
I have an existing setup using the transmitter and Beosound essence MKI connected to the TV.
I don’t like the setup and somehow it doesn’t always work and thought the core might be a better option.
the Almando Multiplay Surround Decoder II does seem like a better alternative. Will look into it.
Not sure if this works but for the not Wisa enabled speaker you could use a WISA receiver. I have four of hem for my back speakers (BL3). If this makes sense form a budget point of view might me a diffeent question.
But also seeing the pricepoint and size of the device from the Wisa organization, it can not be that hard to integrate it into a stage.
