broken master control panel (av9000) need alternative

23 replies

Maybe this was a third party modulator? For such an installation you definetely need the B&O RF modulator, provided of course that you have already made the cabling which means that all antena cables from link rooms are going to the modulator where your video master is.

Do you have such an installation?

Errr, well I used to have a set-up of non B&O tv and BL3500 in the link room so that was fine to watch sat & DVDs, but now with the AV9000 I can get audio sources, just not sure how to get the DVD & SAT source from the Avant? And as it was a non B&O tv I had the modulator or some setting on rather than the default off 😂

Do I need something else like Beolink Video?

 

Set your BL 3500 to option 4 (L.OPT.4) and you can control all your mainroom devices, audio and video by pressing LINK - SOURCE.

Store your link-frequency of the Avant to TV, channel 1 to the AV9000.

To watch a DVD from the mainroom, you have to press TV (1) and LINK-DVD. You will get the picture and sound (mono) on your AV9000, and sound (stereo) via the BL3500. It´s the same with all video-sources of your main room.

Hope this helps.

Hey thanks Stefan 😁

Yeah I've got it set-up now, but was just wondering if there was a way of getting the Avant sources on it so I can use the BL3500 somewhere else in the house that's all?

On the fun side just got a MX7000 with motorised stand for $375, so my query would be do I just need an ML - Datalink convertor or a videolink, etc?

Thanks,

Hi

Not sure of your location, but contact neil briffet at beovisions(ebay name) as i know he has a couple for sale here in the uk.

 

I think he's called nobbyhall on beoworld, but i'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

Congratulations, yes, a Beolink Video 1615 should do it. you can use your MX as a link-TV for both audio and video.

If I connect an AV9000 (the tv, not the Master Panel) to a Beosystem 7000 (with passive speakers) via a 1610, will I be able to route the TV sound to the beomaster by pressing "av" + "tv"

At present, I have a bs7000 with passive speakers and an LX4500, and I always route the tv sound via the beosystem - I never use the tv's internal speakers. Will a 1610 allow me to use an av9000 in the same way as I use the LX in my current setup?

Yes  - will work. I used AV - TV ( or -SAT. -V.TAPE. V.AUX...) to get stereo sound in video linkrooms with MX4000s.

If I remember correctly, the 1610 converter only works with the older, 2way AV9000.

Ah, thank you! My plan is to get an old 2-way AV9000 (and a 1610, of course), but I wanted to check first that it would work the way I want it to - b&o's literature only mentions setups with active speakers, and I have passive speakers.
