Thanks . I don't have remote control or MCL cable. Do I need to have beo 4 remote control to switch the input mode TV? If I don't have anything plugged into MCL will it start up? I need to find 1612.

Does anyone have clear pdf version fort BL 8000 service manual? Type MK1. Type Number 6802.

Service manual for 6802 is available on this site. Register as a silver member (or why not gold?) to be able to get the pdf. The manual cover this five versions:

Mains 6801 EU 230V 
6802 GB 230V 
6803 USA-CDN 120V 
6804 J 100V 
6805 AUS 240V

Alternatively, if you're in Australia I will be selling a few pairs of Beolab 6000s in the very near future... for a lot less then the retail price!

And I have seen them ... and they are beautiful :-)

Finally Success. Used 1611 converter instead. Works great. ML cable from converter to BL3500 and use 7 pin or 5 pin AUX din cable in 1611. Stored default audio volume, bass and treble. Press TV in beo4 and walla. Very happy with the project outcome. Now I need to find a way how to turn the BL3500 on in TV mode when I turn on the denon 4311 amp. The only way I can do is use a 2nd remote trigger from amp trigger 12v. I need to make a circuit which will short out TV button in beo 4 remote for 2 sec as soon as the amp is ON. Anyone have beo 4 working circuit board?
