BS9000 has no datalink on the aux connector. But the powerlink connector has data (DL86?) on pin 6. What do you think ?
I am not sure the data connection i the Powerlink connectors will be of much use depending on the goal. If it is just to get an extra AUX input without datalink Usecase 6 above /api/files/d982635e23dc4d7a9fae07f4eee0a4ed can be used. If it is to be able to control a B&O record player or tape deck it may require to set the BS9000 in opt. 5 or 6 (as a link room) and via Masterlink connect to a Beolink converter 1611 and the via datalink to a Beomaster 3500/4500/5500/6500/7000 or a MCL2AV (in option 0 or with the IR eye covered) where the record player and/or tape deck is connected. It should then be possible to use theses source with a LINK + PHONO/TAPE command from the BS9000

Hi

Your examples are great - really helpful - thank you.

Your 8th .pdf shows a Beomaster 4500 in a link room connected with a special aux cable - I assume this works as a slave unit only.

Would this setup work with any other audio products that would normally be an audio master, eg Beocenter 9500?

Thanks

Alan

As far as I can tell it should work with other Audio master also. However there might be limitations since B&O never made it official. Note that it will only work with an older software revision on the Beomaster 4500. In this other thread  I have tested it with a direct connection to a Beocenter 9300 with the crossed cable.

Hi again

Sorry - I might not have been clear on my earlier post. I wonder the a Beoceter 9500 could be used as the slave unit instead of the Beomaster 4500?

Thanks

Did somebody test 1611 with a beomaster 5 to get AUX-in? I`d like to connect a beogram 5500.

Is Datalink to control beogram also supported?

The Beomaster 5 I have is dead, so haven't been able to test this scenario. However I can't see no reason it shouldn't work as it would be the same as having the Beomaster 5 and an other Beomaster/Beosound/Beocenter in the same masterlink network.

To control a Beogram you would also need a MCL2AV. The setup would be much like usecase 5 from my earlier post /api/files/2d139e8dd7504b04b47c855626ee1d24 Not sure how the option settings on the Beomsater 5 should be as I have yet to use one. Note that if a MCL2AV is used the Beogram is connected to the CD connection and controlled with the CD command. That is however a good thing as the phono command is the same as N.MUSIC and would introduce a conflict.

None of my 1611 converters has that long type number, but have proven to work for several configurations from this and other threads. I think the important thing is you do not get a type 1614 converter as it can not act as an audio master. Both my 1611 converter has SW 1.3, and I have yet to see one with an other software version
