Hello all,

I am looking for advice on the best way to add a BeoCenter 2 to home NL network. The recently acquired a BC2 is next to the BeoVision Contour in my bedroom.

I considered connecting the BC2 to the Contour via a SCART to HDMI adapter in hopes I could also use the DVD function(Not a deal breaker). The other thought was to add the BC2 to a spare Beosound Core via RCA but not sure if I would be able to control the BC2 using the Beoremote One paired with the Beovision Contour.

You might wan't to consider how to control the BC2.

For the connection types you are mentioning yourself you might need to first activate an input on the contour and the operate the BC2 either on it's front panel or with the Beoremote one in IR mode (I have no experience with Beoremote One myself, so unsure about how the switching between bluetooth and IR works). This might be a little clunky user experience to operate.

A more user friendly approach might be to get a Beolink Converter NL/ML which can make the sources from the BC2 visible as sources for the Contour.

Not sure if operation of the DVD part can be done this way, but judging by your post it sound like a nice to have option.

Note that auto update does no longer work on the Beolink converters NL/ML, so if it does not have the latest software version you might need to get it updated by a B&O dealer to get full functionality.

Thanks Madskp. This makes sense. I will explore the NL/ML Converter route. I have one already in my network in another room, so hopefully it's easy to implement another one in this room too.
