main unit Beosound 9000

main zone 1x Beolink passive via powerlink

2 rooms

2x BeoLink Passive with BeoLink IR receiver via Masterlink

 

main room works fine.

issue I have is If both Beolink passive are plugged in with masterlink then one of them is not responding to beolink ir receiver (eye)

if i unplug one of them other one does works fine.

that got me into thinking reprogramming eye with beo4 remote with no luck atm

as i said if all is plugged in then one is working 100% and other remote lights coming on but not responding - play button stays RED after pressing it.

any ideas?

Hi and welcome to Beoworld!

Have you tried swapping the IR sensors between the two passives, to see if the fault follows?

I would suspect cabling of one of the IR eye's to be either incorrect or disconnected, either inside the sensor itself, or inside the DIN connector.

Hey Guy

yes tried that if I plug IR sensors alone they work in both amps but if they both connected then one doesn't work.

one guy that does work with B&O suggested program eye via boe4 tried that with no luck so far. its like its not switching to input or source. https://share.icloud.com/photos/0beSPkFx2lgbK2WGc-l0QIf3w

Maybe try checking the ML connections:
  • Power down the complete system (unplug from mains, including main room BS9000 and Passive).
  • Unplug all the ML connections.
  • Make sure all the ML plugs are clean and undamaged and that there is no dust or fluff inside the sockets.
  • Reconnect the ML cables
  • Power the system up again.
  • Re-do the option settings (put the main room in A.OPT 1, and each link room in L.OPT 6).  If you need instructions for this, let me know.
Then try control again.

A further thought:  In the main room is the ML cable connected directly to the BS9000?

(I only ask this because you have a Passive in the Main Room, but I assume that this is just acting as an amplifier and should only be connected to the BS9000 by a Powerlink cable)

correct passive in main room connected from bs9000 by powerlink acts as amp...

ML is direct from bs9000 to both or passives in other room. when only one is plugged in that room works when i plug 2nd one only one works. if i only plug 2nd one 2nd one works with no issue. I think its going to be something to do with L.OPT... I'll try tmr nights

Hi,

I have a similar issue. I have a 9000 connected to a passive and ir eye. The IR eye and passive were working fine.. then... I used my BEO5 to turn on my Samsung tv. After this my eye no longer responds to the remote or touch (ie using the buttons on the eye). I have unplugged everything a million times and replaced the cable for the eye. Any ideas? Thanks
