I have not posted on the forum but have read and solved many issues over many years. I have any issue I have not seen posted before. Any help would be appreciated.

I have purchased a BLC and Core to add to a Masterlink system. I would like to add audio streaming and a Beosystem 6500 to a masterlink system but cannot get the BLC to work.

I have simplified my Masterlink network to do some troubleshooting with a Beosystem 3 in Option 2 connected via masterlink to the BLC. The BLC is connected to a network with the Core. I can get the BLC and Core to respond when it configured as a A.Master but I need to get it working as a Source Center as I already have an A.Master ( a Beosound 9000 Mk1 - can only be a A.Master). When I change the BLC to a Source Center it will not respond to N.Music or N.Radio commands. I am not sure what I am doing wrong.

 A Beomaster 6500 can also only be set in option 0,1 or 2 that means Audio master like your Bs9000 and it is only possible to have one audio master in a Masterlink setup... however if you have 2 NL/ML converters you can have 2 ML Environments connected through NL....besides that I agree with Beojeffs solution

thankyou. I tried this and it worked. Have changed the Beosystem 3 to V.Option 6 and BLC to V.Option 1. I have reconnected BLC into main masterlink system and it working now with the Beosound 9000. 

I now am trying to work out the next problem. Spotify cannot be streamed outside the NL network. All the other sources (internet radio, music, bluetooth, etc) work well. I tried streaming from a iphone/ipad Spotify via Bluetooth to the Core and that works however the range is limited so I not sure that it is a long term solution (it needs to be family proof). I tried Airplay and for some reason everytime I connect via Airplay to the Core it shuts down the whole system (NL & ML). I can turn it back on and choose another source so it appears it not a software crash. One thought I can was connect PL on the Core to the NL/ML converter line in. I have not tried this yet as I do not have he correct cable. Is this the best approach to get spotify onto the ML?

I am also struggling on how to connect the 6500 to the Core. I would like to be able to listen to ML and NL sources on the Beosystem 6500. I think this can be solved by connecting the Beosystem 6500 Aux to the line in of the Core. I would also like to be able listen to the turntable on the ML system. I see there is a lineout on the Beosystem 6500 but it blanked off. What is the best solution to connect the Beosystem 6500 to the core?

You can only set the BLC as source center if the connected audio master is recent enough to support N.Music and N.Radio. For example, the BeoCenter 2 or BeoSound 9000 mk3.

You will need to change the setting of your BeoSystem 3 to option 6. Then, you can set the BLC as V.Master. You then use video source commands for mapping the NL sources. For example, you can use a simple TV command (mapped for example to Deezer) for a BeoLab 3500. However the command that you use to get the same Deezer source on a BeoVision/BeoSystem will be LINK + AV + TV.

Hello beojeff 🙂

I have almost the same setup, and your information about LINK + AV + TV(source) solved my problem. I Can now listen to NL sources on my BV10.

Thank you 😁

My question now is that i have a friend with almost the same setup as mine. He only needs to press LINK + TV(Or any other source buttun) no AV is needed for his system. It also works if he press AV, but not necessary.

I would be Nice if that was possible for me too. Then i Can use L-DTV or L-DVD buttun, then i dont need to press so many buttons.

Do you know what the difference could be? And how i maybe could ide only LINK + “Source-Buttun”
