You will need a ML/MCL to drive the CXs. But I don't know if it is possible to have the BeoPort as Audiomaster with an Avant.

🙂

That got me one step closer.

thx (:

Come on guys... 🙂

I know we had a tread about using the BeoPort as audiomaster, but I cannot find it, and I cannot remember if it was possible with an Avant.

Jesper is a friend of mine, and I know he would appreciate the help... 🙂

I am fairly sure that the Avant cannot play NRADIO or NMUSIC, however you can watch TV, SAT, DVD,VCR on your PC via Beoport.
This is the conclusion that the PCG gives with just an Avant 32 VCR and a Beoport with TV card. 
Wish I could be more helpful,

                                                | from BeoVision

Note!

If the TV is equipped with a Dolby Surround Module, the TV's default
SPEAKER mode will be 3. This has the effect that the speakers of the Avant
will not play stereo.
To avert this, the TV Front Speaker Setup must be set to 'None'.
This is effected via the menus Setup -> Sound -> Speaker.
However, this is not possible on Avant 50Hz with S/W lower than 2.0

In case of interference between the modulator frequency and other
signals in the UHF region, adjust the modulator frequency
from the TV menu. Procedure:
         Setup / Tuning / Link Frequency
When you have found the desired frequency, press (GO/PLAY) to save it.
The recommended distance between stations in the UHF region is 16 Mhz.

But if he disconnect the Avant, I think it would be possible to choose N.MUSIC in the kitchen via a ML/MCL converter.

Will he loose this possibility, if the Avant is connected?

Yeah, that might be the solution. I have a BeoPort he can borrow, if/when he buys an Avant.

Thanks for giving it a thought. 🙂

Hi guys, yes, you can use your BeoPort as an audio master and connect it to your Avant, that's what I was doing until I bought a BV3 (and connected it the same way).

Your Avant should be in V OPTION 2, and your BeoPort in option 0 or 2.

You should have no audio master connected to the system.

Enjoy!

Cool - thanks guys!

I'm looking forward to getting my hands on the avant (:
