BS3000 replaced with Beolink Converter - help

36 replies

Hi, I read that an audio master could be replaced with a beolink converter - so I bought one. I've connected the masterlink in and power and the output from AE to A.Aux IN, pressed CD, and CD came up on the avant but no sound, tried A.Aux but still no sound.

Does the Avant need to be set to a certain mode as there is no Audio Master or have I bought the wrong one that should have PC IN?

Any help much appreciated

Hi,

Which cable did you use to connect AE to A.Aux?

Have a look here: link or link

Forget it - it won't work.

Just connect the AE to an analog-sound-in-socket on the Avant.

Or  - even better - use one of the digital-in's (you will then need a small "toslink to coax-converter").

It works - If done correctly, I've done already.

Avant offers video sources - it's not the best way to integrate audio sources as video sources.

Avant should be set to V.OPT 2. You will need a BL converter 1611 (there is no converter with PC in, I think you are talking about BL active(?).

If you have a Beo audio device - Beocord, Beogram... - you could check the setup using the DIN plug of that product.

Hi, thanks for the replies - I'll try again tonight with the avant in V.Opt2 - I think it is set to 1 at the moment - do I leave the Beovision 3 in my bedroom at 6? thanks again, it would be great if it did work. I thought about using the avant for audio, but 1 of the digital sockets is used by the DVD player and the other by apple tv, so best if I can get it working this way.

I think your Avant is already set to V.OPT2, because you said "CD" will be displayed on your Avant, wouldn`t do if it was set to V.OPT1....

V.OPT6 for your link TV is ok. so it will receive video- and audio commands in slave mode.

I`d try to select other audio modes too if "CD" doesn`t work, maybe A.AUX or A:TAPE (A.MEM).

And maybe it helps if you disconnect your Avant from the mains for 5-10 minutes and reconnect ?

Which cable are you using to connect AE and BL converter?

Maybe wiring/soldering are faulty?

Good luck

Hi, have just got it working - I set the Avant to Video Option 2, still no sound, then tried a DIN to 4 phono lead and tested the ends - two produced a buzz, plugged those into the DAC which is fed from the AE - and glorious music - it works on CD, Radio and Tape - really pleased and cannot thank you guys enough - at last its working and the beo app gives great radio reception too. So pleased, thanks again for everyone's help.

This is interesting... I have an unused beeline converter (1614... Is it also ok?). If I plug the headphone out of my bs5e to the aux input of the converter, should I be able to directly power on my bv8-40 on CD and speaker 2? Would be great! Can someone confirm??
