But i'm a little bit estonished that the powerlink  connection at the BL3500MK2 only works with a transmitter.. hm, we will see.

This is because it is not made to use as the main speaker and was usually used in another room as part of a Masterlink setup. The Wireless 1 transmitters are simply a "wireless" Beolink Active which is Masterlink in - Powerlink out.

Hopefully you get lucky and can make it work with Powerlink but it will definitely connect to your BS4 with Masterlink.

Unfortunately it was not the solution :-(

Yesterday i connected the BS4 directly via Masterlink cable to the BL3500. The time was indicated at the BL3500 BUT nothig else is working...

I checked the ML Connection with MENU+MENU+02+GO and ML ok ist displayed at the BL3500

It is NOT possible to change the OPTION at the BL3500...

Both are i the same room, the BS4 and the BL3500 are directly connected via ML, no other speakers are connected to the BS4.

What can i do???

what happens if you send the Menu 0 2 Go command with a Beo4 to the BL3500? Does it react? (Be presice, because your writing about Menu Menu 0 2 Go)

What happens if a CD plays on your BS4 with the ML connected BL3500 if you touch then the Mute button? Do you have sound?

Does your Beo4 (you use I presume, or BL1000) work with other B&o devices?

Have you tried LINK CD to turn on the CD via the BL3500. As it is a link speaker it should react to that.

You may need to add LINK to the remote.

i can only switch the display between CLOCK 1 oor 2 or OFF while pressing TIMER+MUTE

ML is switched on while pressing MENU+MENU+9+GO

Thanks Stoobie!!!!!

i tried this way from Ralph-Marcus https://archivedforum2.beoworld.org/forums/p/45513/329811.aspx#329811

And it's working :-)

Also a lot of thanks to you for the support!!!!!

Reading that post it seem that you were struggling because there was no feedback when you set the options and you were expecting to see something on the sceen. But also it seems that you needed to change the speaker setting from Powerlink to Masterlink.

To help others which OPTIONS did you use on the BS4 and BL3500.

I am vey glad this works.

I see that you want to use the BL3500 speaker with your BS4500. Others may be able to assist better, but  believe you can use a Beolink Convertor for this, however i think this requires the Converter to be of the newer type : 1161166. the older 1161466 is unable to perform this function. This basically adds Masterlink to your system. I used to have this with my BS4500, Beovision MX7000 and BL3500 . This was before I experimented with my systems so the dealer set it up for me and the BS4500 and Beolink convertor are now in storage so i can't assist with setting it up etc.

Good luck

Stoobie.
