Beolab 3500 and A.Aux

26 replies
Hello again,
I have a BL3500 (350 euros, woot!) and when I press A.Aux on my Beo4, nothing happens.  Does A.Aux not work at all on the BL3500, does it not work because my software is 1.1, or am I just smoking crack and it should work?

Thanks again!

Beolab 3500 is a pair of speaker, which Hifi have you got?

p. 

Oh sorry... I have the BeoSound 4.  Hmmm... so I can't change from CD to AUX from the 3500?  =(
Actually while we're at it, when I set the BL3500 to Clock 2, it still doesn't show the clock...

CLOCK 2… When the BeoLab 3500 is switched to standby, the display will show the time and the red standby light. The time indication remains on when the BeoLab 3500 is playing, but whenever you operate the BeoLab 3500 (either close-up or by remote control), the display will give you a brief status on the operation. This is the factory setup.

If you have just switched on (powerd up) the Beolab 3500, then the clock will not show immediately, in fact it can take sometime.

The clock will only show if it is receiving clock data from the master device. In other words if the Masterlink (MCL) is not connected the clock will not show even if you have it set to CLOCK 2

Wow! Thats cheap, actually i've never heard it before, how would you descrbe the sound? I'm sure it goes loud, but considering the small drivers and the 0.8 litres capacity i assume there isn't much bass at all? Good stereo though i'm sure (the opposite of a BS1).

The clock just doesn't show at all under any setting.  Maybe the BeoSound 4 doesn't send the info?

 

The BL3500 sounds really good.  At least as good as the BeoSound Century it's replacing.  I got it for a steal because the metal is a little scratched up on the back and sides.  For that price I'd have taken it even if it looked like someone used it to jack their car up to change out the winter tires.  The grill covers are fine and you can't see the scratches since it's on top of my cabinet in my bedroom.  The sound is still good, just as good as the one my local handler has (with the old tweeters, like mine).

 

Silly question, but I must ask it, you did setup the time and date on the Beosound 4 ?
