If I connect Powerlink speakers in series to a single Powerlink connection on my Beovision 11-46 TV, will the TV still recognise each individual speaker in the series, and be able to send a separate signal to each?
I want to buy a Powerlink switch so that when I am listening to audio sources, I don't need to use my Beovision 11-46 TV at all. It takes too long to start up, and only displays simple info in the LED displays on my Beolab 3000 speakers.
As well as the Beolab 3000, I have a Beolab 2 sub with a pair of Beolab 3 connected to it. That therefore works as a surround sound setup when watching video sources, or stereo when listening to audio sources.
If I wanted to use a Powerlink switch to switch inputs between my Beovision 11-46 and my Beosound 9000, could I do this with only one Powerlink switch, with all of my speakers connected in series, or would I need two Powerlink switches one for the BL3000 and another for the BL2/3? Would my TV be able to assign the right roles to all 5 speakers if they were connected in series to a single PL output?
Just hoping I can save a bit of money by buying one Powerlink switch instead of two really!
