Beosound 9000 and Beosound 5

39 replies

Hello,

I have a Beosound 9000 and a Beosound 5 in one room. Further i have sevaral Masterlink connections whit the 1751 amplifier. No TV

The beosound 5 works perfect but now we like to play CD in the Beosound 9000.

Can  anyone give me an advice how i have to configure this installation. Where do i have to connect the ML speakers.

I can config the Beosound 9000 as 1 2 or 0 but there is no reaction on the Beo 4.  In other rooms over the Masterlink it funtions.

 

This was, and still is, a challenge as both the BS9k and BS5 would like to act as Audio Master. I believe the last sw version for the BS9k made it possible for it to act as a slave. If I remember correctly, this was only available for the mkIII - but I guess others on BeoWorld can pull this from the top of their heads?

Untill someone 'pulls this from his/her head', please consult page 30 in the userguide of the BS5 (on the B&O homepage).

I have a similar problem with a Beosound 3000. After much experimenting with option settings and talking to my dealer, I gave up and disconnected the 3000. My understanding is for my 3000 to work in the system with the Beosound 5 I need to have a chip in it updated. Beosound 3000 does not support option 5. Updated chip would enable it.

One of the problems with the scenarios in the user guide is that they require speakers connected directly to the Beosound 5 when the Beosound 9000 is also in the system. My system consists of a Beovision 7 and Beovision 10 in separate rooms, each with speakers connected to the Beovision. Thus none of the scenarios in the user guide match it, or will work. Nor would any other options I tried.
in my BS3/BV9 set up, I have the BS 5 as not Audiomaster, leaving the BS9000 to accept that roll. I also just installed an Essence to the aux in on the BS9000. gives me Spotify connect. Easy breezy.
What option do you have the 9000 set to?

option A0, VM2

Thanks for all the reactions.

 

I did read the manual but the option with the BS 9000 and the BS 5 in the same room is not given there.

Now I find out that the BS 9000 don’t react on the Beo 4. Over the link it response but not direct.

Probably the IR receiver ore has anyone a suggestion.

one of the previous updates for the BS5 allowed it to be not an audiomaster, and react to net music, net radio, and spotify . My BS 9000 is a M3, with the latest software installed. everything works as it should.
Maybe I will get out my 3000 and try connecting it again. Perhaps the software update to the 5 you mention occurred after I disconnected the 3000. Maybe it work now.
