Hi
I'm trying to help my mother with her b&o system. She's moving house and wondering if it's worth the hassle to take the b&o system with her given that the beovision tv is old, small and doesn't have hdmi inputs as it's analogue.
I was wondering what advice you might have about how best to set up a non-b&o tv with this system please?the goal is to be able to watch tv and play the sound through b & o system and also be able to stream music wirelessly from iPad to bo system.
We currently have an apple airport express plugged into the audio inputs on the beovision tv for streaming music to. Could we input into the Beolab 3200 using AUX input? Is there a way to use the speakers on their own with another tv or audio system? Could this be done wirelessly? I've read something about Wisa technology and receivers that plug into each speaker?
She has:
- Beolab 3200 base unit
- beovision avant tv (analogue)
- beolab 4000 x 4 speakers
- Beolab 3500 x 2 satellite speakers
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Ross

Yes you can.
Is there a way to use the speakers on their own with another tv or audio system?
If you have volume controlled output from a TV you can set the Beolab 4000 to Line In and use them as ordinary speakers for the TV.
Could this be done wirelessly?
No

I assume you mean Beosound 3200, right?
Welcome to Beoworld, by the way.
If you search the forum, there are plenty of threads on how to integrate B&O and non B&O TVs. Generally its not that straight forward, but adding the Beolab 4000 as I mentioned is possible (and easy).
The Beolab 3500 is only useful in a B&O masterlink setup, where they are connected to an Audio Master such as your Beosound 3200.
Thanks! I saw some posts on using speakers - was just trying to work out optimum solution. It sounds like easiest thing would be to use audio output from non-bo tv into an input socket in Beosound 3200 unit? And apple airport into separate input?
Also - is a master-linked system like this easy to deinstall / reinstall? I mean would it need b & o technician expertise or could I do it myself?
Thanks again
