Hi guys
I can not find any guide how to set up the connection hub.
It's not the core it's the s8 this was purchased of eBay and I was going to set this up for my friend I have purchased the the rj45 to powerlinlk adapter, have looked on line but I cant seemed to find any guides any link to a guide would be appreciated
Have you tried here? https://www.bang-olufsen.com/en/product-support/loudspeakers/beoplay-s8

Page 9 and on.
Maybe this will help a bit too:

There is a tv - and there is a BV
Thanks for the replies and links I have looked at that manual and the you tube video but I only have the hub not the subwoofer with the connection so will this unit not work on its own ?
You wrote....’rj45 to powerlinlk adapter’, so I assumed, that your friend also have some (a pair of) BeoLabs.
Just connect these to the hub.
Hi millemissen
Correct he actually has 4 beolab 6000 and a lab 2, I take I will need to download the app and connect the hub to that, there is going to be an LG TV connected via optical,
You will have to daisychain the speakers and to choose L or R on the speakers according to where they are placed.
Just remember, that the hub does not support multichannel audio - only 2.0/2.1.
Hi
I thought that would the case, I'm surprised that there was not any set up guides for this

Maybe you should have asked your ebay seller 😉
Hi mm
Yes you are correct he should have asked, i was only trying to help that's why I wanted to ask on here, I did not think it would be hard to set up, I downloaded the bang and Olufsen app I selected the core but it won't work
He has a beocentre 2?
Just mentioning, that you can hardly expect support from B&O, when you buy off ebay.
However, at Beoworld we still try to help - as you have seen!
It really isn’t that hard....the (original) S8 is just a regular BeoLab.
You connect any modern BeoLab to the hub the same way.
The app and choosing the BS Core won’t help you anything - it’s a different product!!!
Connect one of the BL8000’s, set it to left or right....in order to see if the unit is working.
The process of connecting the tv to the optical in will be the same as described in the guide and as shown in the video.
kai: He has a beocentre 2?
What - why didn’t you mention that in the first place?
And where does that come into the game? How does he expect to use that?
I do appreciate your help, I thought that the s8 was just an older version and that you needed the app, I do appreciate your help, I will connect the unit up as you say would I be correct in saying that it needs to be connected to bang and Olufsen hifi for me to control the volume
kai: would I be correct in saying that it needs to be connected to bang and Olufsen hifi for me to control the volume
would I be correct in saying that it needs to be connected to bang and Olufsen hifi for me to control the volume
No!
I did - from your posts - understand that a LG tv should be connected to the optical in.
Please do read the guide page 12....about the ir learning.
And do watch the video (second half) - it’s all shown there.
Correct setup it should be possible to control the volume with the remote of the tv.
I presumed that I could just remove the beocentre as it's faulty and he could just the the hub in place with his speakers thanks for you guidance and help
Thanks mm
For your guidance and help I will try that later on today and let know
Thanks for all your advice it's now all working
kai: Hi mm Thanks for all your advice it's now all working
Glad to have helped.
In the end it wasn’t that hard, or?
No it was easy to set up, I had presumed that I neeeded the app to set it up, it does look similar to the core and that's why I thought I had to set it up with app. I think I might have a look at the core for myself a great way to bring my beolab 4000 right up to date
