Does anyone have a solution for adding aux sources. I have used the aux port on my BS9000, the scarts an my Avant and my Beoport on my Mac for getting non B&O sources onto the MasterLink.... no problem, works like a dream. However at the moment my AppleTV is connected to my Avant, (good sound but nonHD image) and I am considering relocating the Avant and installing a DLP projector in my main viewing area. The question is ...... how to connect the AppleTV so that the audio is available as a source on the MasterLink. It would be nice if there were some cute little black box device that could provide this additional aux input onto the ML.

Not sure how much you're looking to spend, but a BeoSystem 3 sounds like your best option!
Thanks, but that would be an inelegant solution. Buying a complete system just for it's port would be easy but crazy.
Until I got a PC2/Beoport I had the same problem. How to connect a lead from my PC and my Turntable to my BS3000. What I did was get a CD/Tape adaptor. This was a small black box made by B&O. It has a Din connection which will go tou your BS9000. There is a DIN connection in for the Tape connection and RCA connections for the CD. To change sources you just press a button on the front of the box. It is that simple. Infact as I no longer use mine I would be willing to sell it.

Thanks Craig, nice idea, but my BS9000 is 30 metres away at the other side of the house.
No, I am looking for a direct connection into the ML, but without buying a "major device" to achieve it. I have ML everywhere in the house with 4 beolink active's, beoport, bs9000 and an Avant. For me wireless anything is a waste of time (all walls, internal an external are 500cm stone). The TV room only houses the TV ( all other sources are delivered by ML) so I don't want to add another major piece of kit, which would be completely redundant except for its aux port.
Not a fan of wireless myself either, far too unreliable. So you want to add the audio from your Apple TV onto your Masterlink network. What Masterlink product will be in the room with the Apple TV?

Nothing! When I remove the Avant then I need to find another "cute" solution ...... if it exists (and it looks as though it doesn't).
What about moving the BS9000 to replace where the Avant was. Then use the Masterlink connection that was for the Avant for the BS9000.
