6. CONNECTING BEOSOUND ESSENCE TO A BANG & OLUFSEN TV (B)
–
Motivation: Customer has a Bang & Olufsen TV and would like to use BeoSound Essence as a way to
enable music from mobile devices. Wants the remote to be more useful for one touch music access
and volume control (than content control. He will use App for that)
–
Solution:
–
Connect the BS Essence, via line-in, to the existing audio system
–
Set BeoSound
Essence Remote to Beo4 IR mode (“RADIO”)
–
Equipment/Cables needed:
–
1 x RJ45 Power Link to 2 x Phono (male)
– 6271216
–
Cable SCART female - Mini DIN 0.75m, black - 6271215
–
SCART audio/video adapter - not in Bang & Olufsen stock, must be sourced locally
–
Advantages:
–
Customer can still use sources of TV, and his existing remote control (Beo4), for volume
operation
–
Customer can use BS Essence remote for volume control, but not previous/next tracks on BS
Essence sources
–
One-touch music start can which the TV to the BS Essence source (e.g. if assigned to
“RADIO”), even from stand-by, but then the BeoSound Essence must be started/controlled via
the mobile device
–
Music silence??
–
Disadvantages:
–
BS Essence Remote cannot control the BeoSound Essence Sources (mobile device needs to
be used for that)
–
BS Essence needs to be put to stand-by via the App (in case of some sources)
–
Cannot use the “RADIO” button for another source on the TV
–
Considerations/Notes:
–
Volume has to be set to “Fixed Output” on BeoSound Essence, via BeoSetup application
–
The BS Essence Remote now communicates the TV, via infrared, so it needs proper line-of-
sight with the product. Consider during installation / mounting.
–
In the TV source settings,
the “RADIO” source must be assigned to the BeoSound Essence
–
TV will be blank while the BeoSound Essence source is selected
