I have a BS9000 and a BV7 in the same room. If I was to replace the BV7 with an Eclipse, are you saying I will no longer be able to integrate the BS9000 and other equipment I have connected in an ML network? Let alone connect a Core?

Hi beoaus,

For a single room setup with Beosound 9000, Eclipse and Beosound Core, you shouldn't need the £600 NL/ML converter.  On the basis that you have the 9000 and the TV within remote control range, simply connect this cable from the Powerlink output of the 9000 to the L/R In socket on the Eclipse to let the 9000 share the TV speakers:-

This cable will link the Core to the Aux input of the 9000 to play via the TV:-

Please add this Speake Sense Adapter to the other Powerlink output of the 9000 to give remote control functionality without having Beolab speakers connected:-

You are correct on it all. The Core connects via NL using an Ethernet cable. You will be able to start and join in the situations you listed. No problem.

Thank you! Sounds like I need to get one of those 😁
