Hi B&Oguys,
I am going to buy Beolab 8000 and Beosound 9000 later this month and I wonder about connectivity.
This will be my first B&O gear of this kind so I have no experience. I learned that there is one powerlink and one cinch on each speaker. Plus there is one AUX on Beosound 9000. Now, I have 3 sources of sound: Beosound 9000 obviously, my Apple Airport Express (3.5 jack out) and my Tv (not B&O, 3.5 jack out).
So my question is, how do I connect these 3 sources to Beolab 8000?
I reckon I can connect Beosound to Beolab's powerlink, Airport to Beosound's AUX input and my TV to Beolab's cinch input, but then I would have to switch the connector in the back of both Beolab speakers to the Line position everytime I would want to watch TV, I am right?
If I am, this is not very practical solution. Is there something I am missing or is there some kind of HUB for this?Thanks very much and excuse my english.
