Avant and MPAV 9000

9 replies

Hi,

another question about my new Avant.

I might be able to obtain a MPAV 9000, or Master Panel AV9000. If my Avant had a surround unit attached to it, is it possible to connect that MPAV 9000 to my Avant? If so, do I need a Master Link cable or something which goes to some input sockets near Power Link sockets?

And if the above is OK, can I control the whole set with Beo4, or do I need the Beolink 5000? 

(I'm not near the Avant now, so can't check the sockets) 

Thanks again,

Pekka 

I think the short answer is no, the software or drivers required to operate the MP are built into the AV9000.

Someone will confirm for sure. 

You are correct mobe.

Sorry for not.

it works, but no Display and settings....

Only LOAD and LIGHT give a response.

OK, so Beo4 won't work?

But can I use the MPAV9000 directly, from buttons and get the sound out from Avant?

Pekka 

No,

Beo4 works but no Buttons and no Display at the MPAV
Sound for all Sources RADIO,CD and TAPE works.

Ulf, I'm a bit confused now, maybe, because I've never seen the MPAV in function.

So, would it be a good idea to buy the thing to go with Avant? 

In the Avant manual there is a device connected to Avant, which looks like MPAV, but might be some other device. Is there a better option?

How about adding pair of Beolab 4000 into setup?

 

I have to admit, that I've dropped off a bit from B&O development. My experience and love to B&O dates to my trustworthy Beomaster 1900-2 and Beovision 601 era.
