Masterlink issues: Beovision MX8000 – Beosound Ouverture for DVD audio

[Neil]

Afternoon,

I’d like to check my options for Master Link between my MX8000 and Ouverture system.

I have a pair of 6000 speakers connected to the Ourverture, but would like the option to play TV/DVD audio through these speakers.

I can do the opposite: I can use (Beo4) AV -> Go -> Radio/CD/etc to play Ouverture sources through the MX, but not the reverse.

Most guides seem to suggest that I should connect the speakers to the TV. Is this my only option?

For this is I should use A.Opt: 0, V.Opt: 2

Following the table below I have tried A.Opt: 1, V.Opt: 1, but not sure what else to do after that.

The MX8000 manual refers to a CD-ROM for additional settings, but I have so far not found this material online.

I do have a Beolab 2000 in a linked room which is working just fine: Hit DVD from the Beo4 and I have TV/DVD audio.

What else can I try for my main room setup?

Thanks in advance, Neil

Hi Neil,

If you prefer to keep the 6000s hooked to the Ouverture, option 1 on both products is the way to go.

Then,

To get DVD:

• On the 8000: DVD
• On the Ouverture AV+DVD

To get Radio:

• On the Ouverture: Radio
• On the 8000: AV+Radio

If your preferred listening position is the same for audio and video, the best solution would be to hook the speakers to the TV.

If my memories are good, you could take benefit of the “central balance” function to enlarge the video stage

And this case, the AV key on source while selecting a source is no more necessary.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Yann.

PS: is the MX directly connected the Ouverture or is there a black box (converter) between the 2 products?

For the most user friendly operation speakers connected to the MX8000 in option 2 and then the Ouverture in option 0 is recommended.

Else you will have to have both in option 1 and control it like Yann suggest.

The MX8000 has the possibility to have en optional ML module which I guess is the case here as the MX8000 does not have and Audio Aux Link connector as previous models.
