I have a Beocenter 2300 and would like to upgrade it to accept an internet radio module.

My system is connected to a Beolab 2000 speaker via a Beolink converter using the Aux connections.  I have nothing connected to the Powerlink connections on the 2300 or the Beolink converter.

I would like to use the Aux on the 2300 to connect my radio and I have tried it and it works fine.

However,  I would like to keep my Beolab 2000 unit running, if possible.  Can I connect my Beolab 2000 unit via the power link?

If so is it necessary to alter any set up functions to do this?

Thanks for any help!

Hi kernowman,

Welcome to the Beoworld.

As far as I remember the BC2300 has no Tape-in - otherweise you could have used that.

The Aux is used for the connection to BL-converter.

You can not use the PL for the BL2000.

Updating to a "newer" BeoMaster would solve your problem. The BS3000/3200 or the Ouverture has MasterLink (for the BL2000) build in. Even an old BM 4500 would work - it has Aux-in and A-Tape-in.

They are quite cheap nowadays.

Sorry!

How about an AUX splitter? I found this at SoundsHeavenly:

Surely a Aux-switch would work.

It would bring Netradio (or whatever) to the BC2300, but NOT to the BL2000.

Of cource the BL2000 uses both direction - otherweise you would not be able to start the sources of the BC2300.

I am quite sure that it is not possible. So sure that I would not even try it out - risking to damage anything.

I wonder if you - or kernowman -  would 🤔

You are right!
Why didn't I think of it this way?

Well...

So, best would be to sell the BC2300 + Converter and buy an Ouverture (for less money) or an BS3000 (for a little more)..

To get BC2300 working with BL2000 you need AUX out (PIN 3-5) and Datalink/Dataground and shield of course.

You can use AUX in of your BC2300 for an external source (PIN 1-4). 

BC2300 should be set to A.OPT 0, BL2000 should be set to L.OPT 5 or 6.

Should be even possible to control external source ( third party product) using a Lintronic box TT455, connected to Datalink of your BL converter,

I`m not quite sure whether the mentioned AUX-splitter works in this installation, but Steve will know..

And I`m not quite sure, if your BL2000 will respond to A.AUX command (?). If it does not, A.TAPE should work.

We had several threads in this forum about this question, and there are some users who successfully installed their setups this way.

If you connect a TV to the Masterlink setup the AUXin will be used for TV sound distribution to your BC2300.

Hope this helps
