No time to play this evening...

Feedback another day!

Without any change (cabling and settings) the behavior reported on November 15th has gone: when I press the RADIO button on the BV7 remote control, nothing happens anymore.

So. I played a bit with BLC settings. In particular the NL part where I set the DTV input to be linked with BS Essence. From the mobile application, it's possible to select DTV in the Essence input and it switches to but no sound.

I'm going to hard reset the BLC. Maybe...

a. what is the option set for the BV7? option 2?

b. there is no other Radio source (set) in ML and/or NL?

c. The BS5 is disconnected from the system?

d. does TuneIn already play on the Essence when you start Radio

Hi Carolpa, Here are my answers: a. I don't know! How can I check that option? b. No. I hope. Since my last message, there is a BS Ouverture connected to the MasterLink. Speakers connected to the BV7 broadcast the sound of the radio (from Ouverture). So I modified the BLC accordingly. Now TuneIn is on A.MEM. c. Yes. It's out of order and unplugged. d. No. In « Sources visible on ML », setting is as following:

• RADIO: empty
• A.MEM: BS Essence MKII => TuneIn
• CD: empty
• A.AUX: empty
• N.RADIO: empty
• N.MUSIC: BLC => LINE IN

Then, on Beo4, when I press:

• RADIO: FM radio from Ouverture as expected
• A.MEM: TAPE from Ouverture as... not expected!
• N.MUSIC: TAPE2 from Ouverture as... not expected!
• N.RADIO: PHONO from Ouverture as... not expected!

Meanwhile, the BS Essence is playing music from TuneInd in the office! BeoLink Converter has the role of « A Master » on the MasterLink. Remark: recently I purchased and installed a MasterLink Distribution Box. The connections are as follows:

• From BV7: Link4
• From BLC: Link3
• From BS Ouverture: Link Audio

But I think these are labels only. I may be wrong because I don't have the documentation, so I've made a guesstimate.

After a night of reflections...

I think the BV7 is set to be a Video Master and the BS Ouverture to be the Audio Master of the MasterLink. That was the first setup when I moved to this house. B&O technician connected the Ouverture and the TV together.

Then, when they installed the BS5, they certainly used the same setting as for the Ouverture because the behavior was the same.

Can somebody helps me to set correct options for my TV and my Ouverture?

 

BV7 should be in option 2. Place it in stby; then press List / Stby on your Beo4; press list until you see V(ideo) Option in the display; then press 2. Notify if the BV7 has responded with a short off/on of the stby light.

adding the Ouverture changed the ball game completely. Now if you give a A.MEM (=A.Tape) command which should start? The BLC with TuneIn or the A.Tape of the Ouverture.
and the ML chain does already has a A.Master and a V.Master  so the BLC cannot be set to A.Master anymore! So the only option in your setup left is Source Center.  So program the BLC (set f.e. N.Music as TuneIn of your Essence)

BV7 is set to V.OPTION = 2 (confirmed by the flashing standby led). Ouverture is set to A.OPTION = 0 (as shown in the BV7-55 manual). BLC is set to ML rôle: source center. In "Sources visible on ML" configuration page, only N.RADIO and N.MUSIC are available. N.RADIO is configured for Essence LineIn (sound from my PC) and N.MUSIC for Essence TuneIn. Feedback:

• A.MEM commands the Ouverture's tape.
• N.RADIO: Ouverture's phono
• N.MUSIC: Ouverture's tape 2
• On Essence (through mobile application), DTV source selected: no sound.

BV7 is set to V.OPTION = 2 (confirmed by the flashing standby led). Ouverture is set to A.OPTION = 0 (as shown in the BV7-55 manual). BLC is set to ML rôle: source center. In “Sources visible on ML” configuration page, only N.RADIO and N.MUSIC are available. N.RADIO is configured for Essence LineIn (sound from my PC) and N.MUSIC for Essence TuneIn. Feedback:

• A.MEM commands the Ouverture’s tape.
• N.RADIO: Ouverture’s phono
• N.MUSIC: Ouverture’s tape 2
• On Essence (through mobile application), DTV source selected: no sound.

did you check the N.Music, N.Radio boxes on the BLC experienced mapped to NL" page? And did you set both accordantly on the "IR Mapping" page? addition: try the setting proposed, but on second thoughts I wouldn't be surprised you will have introduced another conflict. Giving the N.Music command to the BV7, ML will instruct the Ouverture to start A.Tape2, whereas the BLC is instructed to start the Essences TuneIn.

If the Ouverture makes troubles, I can remove it (it's for FM radios only).
