beolink passive to mcl2p???

27 replies

Now got it working๐Ÿ˜ It will only work if its connected to the aux connection and not powerlink, but now i cant connect my beogram an tv??

Also is there any way of setting the startup volume level as when it comes on its very loud! (I have tried sound>store on the remote but dosent change it?)

Any ideas please?

Cheers

Mark

Sounds like you have thrown everything up in the air  and connected them in the order they landed!

The powerlink wont work in this configuration as it has no two way control capability.

This would work:-

BS2500->Aux link cable->1611 converter->ML cable->Passive with eye->Passive speakers

Of course this is the most elegant way - not only ๐Ÿ˜ because I recomendet exactly the same solution a few posts earlier !

Mark, DON'T COMPLAIN, please READ CAREFULLY when some quite qualified members try to help you !!!
AND PLEASE MENTION ALL DETAILS OF YOUR SYSTEM - TILL NOW you never mentioned you have a TV
connected to Aux!!

By the way, this problem can easily be solved using a DataLink Splitter-Cable to connect TV AND BeoLink Converter
to the same 7 pin socket of your BC 2500

SORRY - I HAVE TO REPEAT MY PREVIOUS POSTING:

 Blackrix described one possibilty, I described two alternatives
- each one has it's own advantages & limitations but all three will work.

Each one will only work within it's own context regarding COMPONENTS AND CABLES!

 

 

Is the television a BeoVision with or without ML? If it is without ML and you use the Datalink-splitter in this situation, you might encounter the following problem. If someone is watching TV in the livingroom and you choose and audio-source in the linkroom, you will get the sound of the audiosource and the videosource mixed in the linkroom. Like Vienna said, let us know all components you would like to connect so we can give you a good advise.

Many thanks for all your help so far.

I have the BS2500 in my livingroom with a BG4500 and the Beovison in my bedroom i have two tv's to choose from, a BV4000 with datalink or a BV4002 with masterlink connection, so which one would you reccomend for me to use?

The other question is i am thinking of changing the BS2500 for a BS9000 so what connections would i need if i go for this setup?

Thanks

... you mentioned also some cables beeing "plastered into the wall"...

more details please!

I have the 7 pin datalink going from my livingroom to my bedroom also the MCL cable going to the bathroom (which is now useless) also the powerlink going to my penta's, at present i have just run the beolink converter and passive from the tv in the bedroom into the loft for the bathroom.

But still need to re-connect the tv and beogram to the bs2500 but as i say i am looking to sell the 2500 (with beolink 7000) and buy a bs9000  but need to know how to reconnect it all and what cables i need ( i dont mind a bit more plastering).

Apart from watching tv in bed i use the tv for cd and radio as my alarm clock.
