Hi fellow beoworlders, I'm really interested in buying the beolab 14 2.1 but have no idea how you'd connect it. I noticed an advert on bang-olufsen Chelmsford Facebook page yesterday advertising the beolab 14 2.1 and stating that all you need for bang-olufsen sound quality from any tv is to simply connect it to your headphone jack on your tv and that's it.

i recently downloaded the user guide from b&0s site the other day and there was no pictures demonstrating that particular hook up.

I even went to b&0 in Chelsea and to be honest the guy i was talking to had no idea. If someone is able to find an instruction manual for the 2.1 beolab 14 or even pictures on how to set it up to a non b&0 tv and put it up on here i would be most grateful.

I heard them recently in Harrods and was absolutely blown away but it was connected to a bv11.

Many thanks so it isn't as simple as connecting it to the headphone jack of your tv, sounded to good to be true.

You have a non b&o tv then ?

i just read up on these and the beolab 14 2.1 only appears to be recommended for non Beo TVs .

Yes that's correct i don't have a b&0 tv but from what I've read hooking up a beolab 14 2.1 to a non b&0 tv should be a piece of cake.

This is correct.

However B&O does not deliver the cable between the BL14 and the device you would like to connect it to.

These need to be custom made for your purpose.

As far as I understood is correctly, even a speaker out on a TV could be used to connect to the BL14. But then you need the inputs connector,
