Which Beolabs speakers are you using?

Is the switch set to 'Audio' on the back of the speaker?

Are you using the correct Powerlink cables i.e. MKII?:

Powerlink cable suitability for speakers;

Mk1 are for non IcePower speakers (for example the BeoLab 6000, early BeoLab 4000, BeoLab 8000)

Mk2 are for everything and can also carry data signals, so are perfect for BeoLab Penta/Beolab 4500.

 

Mk3 are for IcePowered (for example BeoLab 8002, BeoLab 6002, BeoLab 3)

Dave.

I've never used my 9500 with Beolab speakers with a display but I don't see why they shouldn't.  They need the MK2 Powerlink (fully wired) cables though to carry the data.  MK1 cables won't show the display.
