And there you go. an extra input that can be chosen by any audio command that is not used for a datalink unit connected to the DIN inputs.

That’s useful! So as a ‘stand-alone’ the MCL2AV can have 4 selectable inputs if you include the AUX/TV socket (using ‘AV TV’). And the MCL input is a one-button-press selection. Does your test above have the AUX/TV socket connected to BL1611 etc, or is that to follow?

 

One little update regarding the MCL/PL connector in the BL3500.

I have been a little confused since Keithe mentioend that the PCB's wasn't changed when the MK2 version was made. Especially the pinout differences between the MCL connector and a PL connector was illogical where the signal and GND pins are different

Also Peter Pans drawings indicated that (MKI top MKII bottom):

I looked at the wiriring diagrams in the servicmanuals for both the MKI and MKII several times and notices that also here the signal pins and the GND pins is reversed (MK1 top, MKI bottom):

So I thought if the PCB's are not changed can the pinouts be reversed. I had earlier made a   mini jack to DIN conenctor like the Peter Pan one for the MK1. So I tried to switch the pins and put the signal lines on pin 3 and 5 and the GND on pin 1 and 4. Activating the BL3500 with the Menu+0+4+GO and the sound is comming through and I can't hear a difference between that pinout and the pinout I had before.

So as for signal lines this suddely makes it very similar to the powerlink conenctor.  It doesn't make us wiser on the 5V power on thing, but it might be a piece of the puzzle

 

 

 

 

It would be great to see the setup that madskp has explained up and running, so hopefully you can get hold of a BL1611 and MCL2AV and give it a try!

Here's a thread that confirms that the MCL2AV will control a Beogram using CD source-selection:  /forum/general-discussion-and-questions/mcl-pleasure#post-2148518

Unfortunately Gregg never answered whether PHONO would work but I doubt it.  Also, in that linked thread the Beogram was a 'local source' but I would hope that the BL1611 would make if available across the whole system.

Quick question for the "1611 creative use SWAT team" :-)

I can get my hand on a 1615. Now this box obviously only has the AUX port. But other than that: would this box allow my similar stunts to what you guys are pulling with the 1611?

cheers

It hasnt been tested in this thread, but Guy concluded based on the servicemanual that it is only One way ML->AAL
