Hello Alexey, I also have an LG TV connected, a C9 55", to a BS3 (mk3). I use a super simple optical (toslink) to coax converter. All works fine, feeding 6 Beolabs through Powerlink. Do you have Powerlink to RCA cables for the Beolab 8000s then? And you say that the Beolabs show orange leds? Orange leds are not usual and indicate an issue - they should be red (off) or green (on). Do you have Beolabs that work with Powerlink to try? Could it be that the volume coming from the BS3 is too low to trigger the RCA fed Beolabs? There are some more threads around this, including screenshots of the LG sound output options and the BS3 input options, such as this one:

Thank you for the response and the link, I’ve read it all. However, this doesn’t quite fit my case. I still want to use BS3 to pass digital audio to BeoLab 8000. I connected via RCA like this: TOSLINK from LG to a DAC → RCA to BeoLab 8000 (Line mode), and it works perfectly.

BeoSystem 3 is glowing orange. BeoLab always shows red. Powerlink is available, and that’s how I’d like to connect.

From the options I tried:

1. HDMI Extractor - HDMI eARC/ARC to extractor → Coaxial to SPDIF on BS3. No sound.
2. TOSLINK-to-COAXIAL converter - No sound.
3. DAC (with TOSLINK-to-COAXIAL function) - No sound.

I suspect I might be mistaken with the settings or modes.

It also worries me that AV4-AV6 are not listed in Monitor Information, even though I’m connecting to AV5-AV6.

Do you have an MK1? Which SPDIF input are you using? How does A.OPT/V.OPT work? In LG, do you select Dolby Digital and PCM?

Hi, mine is Mk3. I am using the AV2 S/PDIF sound input on the BS3 (under CONNECTIONS) The sound out setting of the LG is ‘optical out’ and ‘passthrough’ My BS3 is in V.OPT 2 Have you assigned speaker types and roles? (under SOUND SETUP)? And ‘default video speaker’ (under SOUND ADJUSTMENT)? J.  

 

I’d like to note that the BS3 is almost always in standby mode (flickering orange), as if it’s not receiving the correct sound.
