Yes, you can listen or view a video source in a link room that is different from the one played in the main room.
Regading the Apple TV, some people have had problems to distribute the picture to link rooms, as Beo TVs cannot distribute HD.
I just tried it and it did work.
wicked thanks gents
its ok i wont need to distrubute the video as i have the ipod touch for picking music via the remote app and i can connect the AV cable for masterlink sound.
Thanks again
Remember also that if you connect Apple TV to the TV by HDMI you will not get sound in the link room. Must connect the Apple TV to the TV with analog cables. We have ours connected with both HDMI and analog.
thanks for that info, Razlaw! I bought an apple tv on saturday and spent all weekend trying to work out how to get the link room to work!
Is there any noticeable difference in sound quality between the HDMI room and analog link room, do you think?
thanks again

We have ours connected with both HDMI and analog.
Were you able to connect the video in both analog and digital? How did you do?
am i correct in thinking that the main room is connected via HDMI and the link room is getting its sound via Phono Leads on AV4.
As far as i have read there is an Ehco o o o o (sorry) as HDMI (digital) takes longer to process than masterlink (analogue)
The HDMI is for the main room as both video and Audio are needed, as well as surround sound. The analog are just for the link room. We have no video in the link room as we are in the USA and Masterlink does not support video here, only audio.I do not notice any apparent difference in quality although may be a bit difficult to determine as the main room has Beolab 9s and the link room has Beolab 6000s. The sound from the 6000s is wonderful however. I do not notice any echo between the two rooms although I have also heard there is a delay. I have everything connected to AV3 on the BV7, HDMI and left and right audio and have it assigned to V. Mem on the Beo 4.
The only issue I am having is with the PUC. I have Apple Remote in the PUC list. However, when I turn on another source, such as SAT or N. Music it also turns on the Apple TV and then does not turn it off always when the TV is turned off. Thus the Apple TV box is always on.
there is a new PUC out for the apple tv called Apple Remote Version 1.10a which can turn the apple tv on and off
And yes sorry i meant AV 3 as AV4 is for the internal DVD player
