@ leosgonewild
I have a similar box, is yours 100% stable ?
Leo,thanks for sharing.Btw,get LinTronic and control everything by Beo4 ???

Hi Leo! Beoremote One,or Beo4 just matter of taste.Perhaps next task for Peter Pan ?
Hey. First, a drawing. That's what I can deliver. So a link to an alternative solution.

Could you explain how the volume control is handled?
Peter needs this input before he can create his signature "PANart ™"
Would it be correct to assume then, the ARC return signal from the TV is volume regulated?
- and can you set up that functionality in the Sound Setting on the TV?
One more question?
Are the two line outputs volume regulated as well ?
And you knew it would be asked eventuality : Can we have a picture of the INSIDE of the box, i.e. the board ?
Hi Leo
Thanks for your reply. Here a new drawing that I imagine your connection.
@PP Good work Peter! PANart™ at its finest !
leosgonewild:I think the volume is regulated inside the box. But it is done via signal from the tv through the cable. No need for setup other than choosing arc output and activating hdmi-cec. I haven’t tested the other rca outputs, but I believe they are. I will see if I have a cable somewhere so I can test it. Considering that I have to see if there is anyway to build the hdmi connection into the back of the Beolab 7, it will be dismantled.

Wouldn't it be cool if we could get that stand to move as well?
Looking forward to the pictures
PaulGiles:Brilliant. Yes, making the stands work via a similar method is surely possible. We have two motorised floor stands for BV6/7 just in our stores, one boxed. Seems a shame they have no use anymore.

The Cirrus chip actually have a few spare i/os but unfortunately I cant make out the marking on the other chips, except for the opamp.
An Arduino Nano would run a stand without breaking a sweat...
How did you manage to mount your TV on the stand? I have planned something similar for the weekend as my mom just bought a new 55" TV ;-)
I will replace the BL 7.2 with two Beolab 600 in her setup.

Hi Leo,
Brilliant! One question though:
Does your setup work with Dolby encoded programs? Or did you need to set up your TV sound to Linear PCM audio only?
In my experience some (most of but not all) of those boxes work very well with Linear PCM audio but will output only static or digital noise when they're feed with Dolby 5.1 audio coming from the TV.
Thank you.
Doesn't HDMI ARC only output stereo?

Svenni: Doesn't HDMI ARC only output stereo?
Ah, Maybe yes, I dont know. But it would make sense:now you say it I remember when I tried something similar it was with the optical output of the TV.
How did you manage to mount your LG TV on the stand?
I will replace the BL 7.2 with BL 7.4
I have the same box as you, but I get a deep humming. It's not like the usual static sound, but like a mod-bass hum.
I have it cabled the same way too.
Any ideas what could be wrong?
I figured out that it was the power supply I used that introduced the hum. I changed it another 5v 2a charger and the him disappeared.
I have also changed from headphone output to the RCA output. The sound is much much better and volume regulation is a lot smoother. You don't get that big difference in volume with every click like with the headphone out.
I've tried this solution with a Samsung LCD, about a year old. I got only full volume audio from the extractor. I've used 2 different extractors and these weren't cheap. Both were from the brand Marmitek.
The Samsung was a 43RU7100. It was a very unstable setup. I've fiddled for hours. The idea was to connect a set of BL6000's via the extractor to the Samsung. But I ended up with an extra BM6500. Not the best idea I had in mind.
So, I assume that it differs from brand to brand. It seems after a lot of reading that every brand has it's own thought which sound they put through the extractor. There are examples that the sound of the tv itself goes through the extractor, but sound from some apps don't, like Netflix or Spotify.

Maybe you can help me out. I have put the Marmitek AE24 ARC Extractor between my LG 49UM7100PLB and my BeoLab 7.1, .but the only problem is that I've got MAX volume output and I can't regulate the volume with the LG TV remote control...any advise?
WhauWWW, what a beautiful solution @leosgonewild Compliments!!!
The B&O Tv stand gives so much freedom (furniture placement) in the living room.I currently have two 8000's (I sold the BL2 a while ago, replaced it with a B&W asw610, which integrates better, separate eq control, etc.) connected to a B&O Playmaker and the Playmaker with a rca to spdif converter to my LG C9 Oled.
I controll the volume with my BEO 4.Works well and sound quality is good.I'm planning to change my setup (I made a 'wall' myself, see photo, but on photo still with my old Philips tv), removing the wall and place my LG 55" C9 Oled on a B&O (motorized?) stand, freely in the living room, upgrading with a 7.1/7.2 an two rear speakers (maybe beolab 3), to create 5.0/5.1 surround. Don't know how, maybe with a Almando surround module (I'm making another topic about this question).
Can you tell me how you made the B&O stand with the LG Oled tv?What model stand would I need, for the 55" Oled?And would a motorized model be possible? How to control it?
What model Arc audio extractor did you buy (aliexpress?)
Leo???
And what about the quality of the sound? How is the internal dac from such a 'cheap' arc converter?
I bought the same box but had to return it - not stable at all.
Hallo tuttivini. You can solve the problem like that.
@Peter Pan: What a great 'photoshop'. Compliments In fact, I had a 'similar' setup, like you described/drawed, in the past.Because I didn't like the looks of a big av-receiver on the shelf, I placed a Marantz NR av receiver, floating underneath the shelf.This worked great, but changed to a B&O playmaker, because of the good internal dac, simplicity, control volume with beo4 and cleaner looks, auto sensing/switching inputs, etc. (Playmaker hidden underneath the shelf).This pleased me for the last years, but always wanted a better centre-channel sound/voices coming from the 'screen'.So bought a Beolab 7.1 last week (this topic: https://archivedforum2.beoworld.org/forums/t/42877.aspx)Already made my own bracket to hang it underneath the tv.I'm making the 7.1 silver speaker-grill the same look as the 8000's this weekend (using same speaker cloth). Will post pictures.
Playing 'double stereo': 7.1 and 8000's both connected to the Playmaker (and a B&W subwoofer).And possibly going to upgrade to real 3.1 surround, when I find the right small surround decoder ( Almando, Canton Smart 5.1, etc, like asked in this topic: https://archivedforum2.beoworld.org/forums/p/42873/311542.aspx )
Here a photo of my former setup with the AV-receiver floating under the shelf...:
@ tuttivini. I hope you find the right solution for you.
