Hi I have a BS4 in my main room and a 3500 speaker in another, they connected with masterlink. Yes you can play different sources in the different rooms, cos the radio only has one tuner you can only get one station at the same time.

No problems playing and controlling A mem on my 3500 while the wife listens to cd or radio in the main room.

 

What top system plus 4gb standard SD cards do work on the BS4 fine.

Are your speakers in the main room connected to a Beo-TV or are they connected to the BS4?

OK, thanks!
As mentiond earlier in this thread two source is only possible if speakers are connected directly to the BS4.

The technical explanation is that a masterlink-cable can carry only one (audio)source. So a headphone or beolab connected directly to a BC2 or BS4, gives you the possibility, to listen to another source in a link-room.

DoubleU cheers for the clarifacation, i was surprised when i set the system up and found i could have two different sources especially when the B&O info said the opposite, so when i expand my system i can't expect 3 sources due to the limitations of the cable. Thanks for that i won,t have my dreams shattered!
