Thanks Spiros... I actually read your thread about this and the BV7.

I do have some flexibility w/ device placement, so I could still use my BC9300...

Hmmm...

I have an older BS9000 (non N.RADIO)... can I use this in "Vintage Audio Master" (VAM) mode and get N.RADIO? It seemed possible on the site's VAM page, but by using multipe connections? The BS9000 could have AUX available, w/ or w/o a B&o AUX SOURCE SELECTOR.

LinkPlayer can work with the BS9000 non n.radio, in certain conditions and with certain limits.

If the BS9000 is in option 0 (has no speaker connected to it) and there is a TV in the same room, in option 2, then this is the "setup 1" and it will work fine. In this setup you do not need to connect directly to any BS9000 input as it uses masterlink. However you must leave PHONE and A.TAPE2 connections unconnected on the BS9000 if you want to use N.RADIO and N.MUSIC.

If you need one of these connections there is a way to only use one of them and still access N.MUSIC and N.RADIO.

Phil,

Thanks so much!

This is exactly how it is presently, and would remain.

The BS9000 has AUX IN only. Presently there is nothing connected to it. I have, however, in the past had...

1.) Airport Express (AE) connected -which would now be redundant anyway...

2.) A B&o AUX SOURCE SWITCH connected allowing connection of the AE as well as a BeoGram.

I am happy to leave the AUX IN unused, but I may consider reattaching a BG later, so would be interested in that. Not important now.

Below, I have attached a very rough schematical sketch of my idea. The red is the ML network and passes from room to room. I am curious (and I promise I will read more!) but is there a need for another IR Eye in ROOM A/B connected directly to the BeoPort? How might this interact and/or conflict w/ the IR Eye(s) already in place?

++++EDIT++++

There may well be an Avant in ROOM B as well... but I don't know if I will put it on the ML network... Also, my intent for control will be from Apple mobile products -not the G5.

Thx again!

This setup is fine for N.MUSIC/N.RADIO distribution in both rooms.

P.

Great!

Any need for the (third) IR eye on the BeoPort?

Thx again!

Not for N.MUSIC/N.RADIO distribution.

Phil,

I'm hoping to get a RedEye unit in the next week or so as it now apparently supports B&O IR codes.

Have you considered a hybrid RedEye/LinkRemote app so you can control the IR only B&O commands in addition to what is already there in LinkRemote and effectively control all B&O including on/off and volume from a single IPhone app?
