Alrighty.  I tried the option 4 thing and now the BL3500 works independently.  Sort of.  It only seems to activate the sources.  I can't change the volume nor shut off the BL3500 speaker with the remote.  Is this normal?

Also, I'm using a Beolink 1000 in that room since the link option instructions here (http://www.bang-olufsen.com/graphics/bogo/media/Beolink/professionals/ML_Handbook_US.pdf) don't cover my version of the Beo4 (Mark II, I think, with vtape and atape buttons).


edit:  UPDATE:  So, I could only program the BL3500 with the beolink 1000.  And then with the Beo4, it works prima.  That's cool because now I'll be able to get the use of the CD in my BS4, as well as the radio stations that I have on my BS4 (only one cable connection in the apartment) and I can use the BS Century for Aux and a different CD.  Cool.  Guess it's time to invest in a 2nd Beo4 and toss my beolink 1000 in a drawer.

i have full functions on on 3500, the volume works, i can set the timer, change tracks, sources etc on the BS4. I can power down the BS4 via the 3500  as long as no one is using the BS4 independantly in the other room it which case only the 3500 will power down.

I would try to seek a software upgrade if possible frm a dealer or ask on this forum

I mentioned the software upgrade to my dealer and he actually said it wasn't worth it!  (from 1.1 to 2.1)  He said that at least with what I had and wanted to do, I wouldn't get anything out of it.  I was kind of surprised since I figured he'd jump at any chance to make money off my rookie butt but I guess not everyone is as capitalistic and cynical as me =\

Hello Alex.

Is there a similar function to the "all-power-down function" that will allow all link units to power on by pressing a button or function on the Beo4? (i.e from any link product turn on all link products in all rooms)
