Is it possible to use a playmaker with a beosound 1???
i,also have a pair of beolab 4000 I'm just confused as how I would hook it up with either of these
the beosound 1 has an aux socket but I'm not sure if the playmaker will work with it
as for the beolab 4000 speakers I only have the speakers and don't know how I the playmaker will work with these
Hi chris,
you can use both - but not at the same time
The Playmaker has PowerLink-outputs, so you can connect any BeLab to it.
You control it with the Beo4 and direct on the PM (some functions).
And you can connect the Playmaker to the AUX-in of the BS1.
You need an adapter-cable (from your B&O-dealer or from Steve - Sounds Heavenly) for this, and the PM must be in Option 0./line mode
This means that you control the sound via the BS1.
The PM autoswitches the sources (AirPlay/DLNA/Line-in).
No problem really.

There is a tv - and there is a BV
Thanks! I'm sure the sound will be stronger on the beolab 4000 speakers but I may be wrong
years ago I used to hook up an iPod to my beosound 1 via the aux in and the sound was rather weak
maybe with the playmaker it will sound better...
If you have both, use the BL4000's - you won't regret it.
