Sounds like you have exactly the same issues I have. It was suggested in another thread that I set the 3000 to option 0 and turn Audio Master off and all seems to be working now,....except...

this is the correct intended way. You end up with "complications" not because of the BS5, but because of restrictions in the BV10 (no timer).

Or make the BV10 your video master and use the Beotime as timer.

Are the Beosound 3200 and Beosound 5 connected to the same Masterlink system? 

I have a Beosound 5 and 3000 and can not get them to both function well as part of the same Masterlink system. 

Yes, they are in the same M/L configuration. Central control via BV7-55 ... and supported by 4 beautiful BL1 and a BL2.

BS 3200 is master, BS 5 is "slave"

Thanks!  Is the 3200 in option 0?

Edit: Thanks!  Saw your answer in other thread.

First, sorry for hi-jacking this thread - I realize we're wondering off the original thread topic...

It makes sense for the BS5 to work this way.  The video master doesn't know whether the 5 is in the same room or in another room (and probably, in most cases, it *is* in the same room).  The 5 knows it doesn't have speakers so it must find somebody to play the audio when it is switched on.  The video master is the logical choice... except for a few of us who are different 🙁

I may move my 5 into the same room as my Bv8 to solve this problem and, occasionally, view the cover art on the TV, but 90% of the time when I'm listening to music, somebody else is watching TV so I'm in a different room - I also have better speakers in my "listening room" (1s vs. 4000s) - so cover art on TV is not a huge value.  Also, since I'm in the other room, this configuration will require a Beo6, and I don't see it as a big enough problem to justify the re-org (yet).

Merry Christmas all...

Stan, the way the BS5 works in this instance drives me and my customers nuts, especially when the TV and BS5 are in different rooms!!

B&O should have an option in the software that can enable or disable this feature!

...........you gotta be joking!! I was thinking the exact opposite!!

I didnt want a BS5 in the first place ~ and after reading this thread I never will....!!

I have had B&O stuff for the last 25 years in order to listen to cd's I want to hear, radio stations I want to hear & see things on TV I wish to watch. I have all this from my old Beovision and my (very) old Beosystem 7000 and a BS9000 I am shortly gonna buy. Strikes me that the BS5 is 'a new type of wheel, trying to re-invent the wheel'....altogether unnecessary it seems to me.

No thanks - i'll stick to the old systems that will play what I want to hear, when I want to hear it. Otherwise I would have no use for a Bang and Olufsen product any longer.

Struer, are you listening???????????????????

We have a mixture of clients some of whom love the BS5, but in every case the lady of the house hates it !

Its so illogical and awkward to work they say, can't find a track by genre that is just pathetic :(

Sorry double post
