What is the "join"button on a ML produk/remote? Is that something that has to be assigned?

'a ML produk/remote' - I am sure that you mean in the list of the newer Beo4. There is no 'join' on or a ML product.

'Join' means that you - on the NL-device that gets this command -  can listen to a source, that is active somewhere else on the NL-network.

One example - if a tv program is active in the livingroom, you can listen to the sound in the kitchen, when making coffee there ;-))

Do note: not all sources are 'join-able'.

Hi Millemissen

So if i hear TuneIn on my A6 in the kitchen I would not be able to join in on that  on the Beolab 2000 in the bathroom with a BLC?

in my setting the TV button of the Beolab 2000 = TuneIn from the A6

@egges

That is a workaround - and a clever one 🤒

.....as long as you can remember that a 'TV' button triggers TuneIn!

MM

in my understanding, dear MM, this is no workaround but a setting i did with my old Beo4 to be able to join my main music source on the A6 when sitting in my study at the computer. and that's the great thing with the converter. no matter whether there's TuneIn on the M5, my girlfriends cook show via Line In on the Essence or the news with the Avant: the Converter is able to join everything either with the App or the buttons I decide on the Beo4

@egges

I agree with you.

Never the less - the question was about the 'join' command?

MM

to specify: my main joinable music source is TuneIn, mostly i stream via Airplay and there, of course, you can do the workaround with the Airport Express in one of the available Line In's

@egges

What happens with your BL2000, it you use the remote to send the 'join' command?

MM

@MM: there's no "Join"-button on my Beo4, the IR-eye of the amplifier has a Timer- and a Playbutton and when pressing Play it joins e.g. TuneIn from the A6

@egges

Do mean that pushing the Play-button on the left side of the control-thing on the BL2000 would make it join-in to an ongoing event on the NL-network?

On both of my Beo4/Navi there is a 'Join' entry in the List - the BROne has it too.

Pushing this triggers the active NL. source on the adressed device.
