1. will work (A.OPT1)

2. will work (L.OPT5)

3. will work (V.OPT6) **)

**) Limitations of this setup:

- In a B&O wireless setup it is MANDATORY all MASTERS (Video / Audio) and the WIRELESS TRANSMITTER
  are HARD-WIRED via MasterLink cable.

- Therefore your TV can't be the Videomaster of your system, it will be just a Link.-TV.

-  You will not be able to distribute the sound of your TV (and videosources connected to it) to other rooms.   

-  Distributing audio from your BSd 3000 to both other rooms will be possible.

B&O wireless works completely independent from any TCP/IP based router/accesspoint.
The coverage of B&O wireless can differ from the coverage of your accesspoint !!

Let me see if I understand this 🙂

Using the excellent explanation you provided in another thread, "V.OPT 6 viceolink (slave) responding to videocommands AND audio commands abd send them via Masterlink to video/audiomaster"

So the BV8 thinks it is a video slave even though there is no video master ... and so:

• any audio only commands (e.g. [RADIO], [CD]) are transmitted to the BS3000 and the audio is received by the BV8 and played through the BV8's speakers (and any that may be attached to the BV8)
• any video commands that correspond to the BV8's sources will be acted upon and the audio will come through the BV8's speakers, but NOT be transmitted through to the rest of the house 
• any LINK or non-BV8 video source commands will be "lost" or "disappear" since there is no video master to receive them

I think there is a difference here, if the systems were hard-wired via MasterLink cable, then a [TV] command in the BS6000 room would trigger the BV8 and result in the BS6000 room hearing the BV8. So whereas the ML cable is truly bi-directional, the Wireless implementation is only partially bi-directional ?

None the less, this configuration might be helpful in my set up ! So thank you for the ideas 🙂

A.OPT / V.OPT / L.OPT 4, 5 or 6 are "Slave Options" 
preventing content from local sources beeing "exported"  to other rooms.

A.OPT / V.OPT 0, 1 or 2 are "Master Options" 
allowing content from local sources beeing requested by other rooms.

If the BV8 would also be ML- hard-wired (and beeing in a separate room from the audio master
in "A.OPT 2") you would set  the option on the BV8 to "V.OPT 2"

This would make the TV a video master beeing able to "answer requests" coming from an audio master
 (then set to "A.OPT 2") or from link rooms (then set to "L.OPT 4 or 6").

The reason are the ML-IDs (comparable to IP addresses in a TCP/IP network)
Only hard-wired units will receive IDs from the Master (figure this as "DHCP for ML")   

**) ADDED:

 ... and of course link-rooms with a secondary "local" audio system in "A.OPT 4 or 6"
     as well as rooms equipped with additional TVs in "V.OPT 4 or 6"

Well my friend, I must thank you ... we are redecorating the front half of the house, and so I was faced with having to reconfigure the environment for probably the next 3 months (Christmas is always a busy time), and so I was faced with trying to make things not just different but better !

When you posted these hints and tips I was delighted because it gave me hope for some new options ... which I implemented this weekend 🙂

Below is a picture of what works ! Now we have a fully functioning BV8-32 in the bedroom ... but without having to lay any ML ... just using a Beolink Wireless 1 receiver the way you suggested I can now play CD, A.MEM, and FOXTEL (V.AUX) on the BV8-32.  Of course TV and DTV had worked, but it is delightful to have a full extension without the additional disturbance of ML cable laying !

Hey Beoworld,

1.) Does anybody know if the Beolink Wireless system is able to send light and control commands wirelessly, too when it's just connected to speakers?

2.) Does it send these commands (light + control) when it's  connected to a ML-device like a Beovision or Beomaster 5?

I don't know for sure but I'd say it is very unlikely it can send light commands because there is no IR "out" on a Wireless 1. Even if you add a IR eye, that is only a receiver. 

I'm not sure what you mean by control commands but if they rely on IR "out" then very unlikely too.
