What is Digital PowerLink (DPL)?
Digital PowerLink is a protocol developed by Bang & Olufsen that digitally connects speakers to a TV or soundbar on the Mozart Platform™, for a high-quality surround experience.

Supported products (DPL):
Beovision / Beosound Theatre
Beolab 28 – Beolab 8
Beosound A9 (5th gen), Beosound 2 (3rd gen)
Beosound Balance, Level, A5, Emerge

What is the Mozart Platform? The Mozart Platform™ is the modern B&O system for streaming and network audio, designed for longevity and updates.
*When you connect speakers using DPL, the speakers become "dead" slaves of the Theatre/Premiere, and any old settings you had configured on the speakers are not used.
The speakers also disappear from the app's main menu, meaning you can no longer adjust a sound mode for the connected speakers anywhere.
Via DPL, everything is controlled by the Theatre/Premiere, and any settings you may have applied to the speakers before connecting them via DPL (such as creating a sound mode with a specific preset ID number or room compensation) no longer have any effect.
The speakers function as if they have been reset to factory settings.

*This question and answer come from the B&O website; Powmascables has no affiliation with Bang & Olufsen.
