Hello...

i bought my first Mac at the weekend, a Mini along with an IPOD Touch on wicj i have downloaded the "remote" software.

So, in my lounge i have a new BV732 with a Mini connect, and it all works fine, i can control itunes throught the Touch no worries ( but no RADIO on the list ??..should it be there ?)

Anyway..when i go into the kitchen and turn my Beolab2000 on by the end button it turns on and i can hear what ever i am listening to in the main roon

now......

in the bedroom i have an old avant with some Lab6000`s.....i cannot for the life of me get this to turn on with the Mini as the source....

i havent yet investigated video as yet btw...thats next...but how do i turn my avant on to the pc source ?.....

i am a computer numpty btw !...lol

Hi Andy,
I'm not sure, but I think the Beovision must be NRADIO/NMUSIC compliant to work, and I don't think the Avant is.
If I'm wrong, someone will soon correct me, I'm sure.
Hope you are well🙂

Andy.

Yes, I have to correct you:  in a setup like Andy's, the TV has not to be NMusic compliant. I was  using a pretty much similar setup: Mac mini connected to a BV 7-32, in one link room a BL 2000 and in a second link room a MX4002, all connected via masterlink. I could hear the music from iTunes running on my Mac via BL 2000 and MX4002, as the sound signal is simply distributed per masterlink like sound from any other source. Unfortunately I have changed my setup and don't use the MX any longer, so I can't figure out experimentally what might be wrong with Andy's setup

Hey Andy

What V.OPT (video option) is your Avant set to?

Make sure the Avant is set to V.OPT : 6

The Avant should be fine with N.Music. Agree with above - it may be set to just get video commands. Mine is in a similar set up and is perfect.
