BeoVision 7-32 and Beosound 7.1? Can a Beolab2 be added?

Hello B&O experts,

Is it possible to add a Beolab2 to my BeoVision 7-32 MKIII and Beosound 7.1?  I have tried to configure it but the Beolab2 is always greyed out on the menu when the Beosound 7.1 is selected as centre speaker. I cannot figure out the correct way to connect them all together, hence my request for a solution to the experts on here..

Thanks in advance,

David

Hi David,

Try defining your BeoLab 7.1 as LEFT and RIGHT instead of CENTRE. You may need to plug its Powerlink cable into a different socket on the back of your BV7-32.

Once you have a LEFT/RIGHT it should let you specify a subwoofer. At least this is how it worked on my BV6-26.

Good luck,

Hi,

Isn't it possible to just to keep current configuration.

BL7.1 as centre speaker.

Connect PL cable from Center PL output of the TV to the BL2 input PL socket.

Connect another PL cable from BL2 output socket to the BL7.1.

Update to connection question.

I finally solved the problem thank goodness. I tried all suggestions and even contacted B&O technical department and the very helpful Steve at Heavenly Sounds who all suggested similar connections. However, with all the recommended connections in place the BeoSound 7.1 suffered from compression artifacts which was disconcerting.,

In the end I left the Beosound 7.1 in it's usual Powerlink socket ( one of two on the back of the BeoVision 7-32 ) and didn't specify front, rear or subwoofer in the menu... just the centre speaker.

I plugged in the BeoLab 2 in the remaining Powerlink socket. Everything now works as it should... crystal clear with added deep bass.

Thank you all for your input.
