Hello there,
I have a BeoSound 5 / BeoMaster 5 in my dining room and a BeoVision 10 in my lounge.
Both rooms are separated by a wall.
I would like to drill a hole in the wall to connect the BM5 to the TV.
Which cable have I to use to connect the two ? A HDMI to DVI-I Adapter Cable ?
And what about the options of the BS5 and the BV10 ?
Thanks.
I connected my Beomaster 5 to beovision 10 by a masterlink cable. No more cables needed Controlling Beosound 5 can be done via Beovision and sound via speakers connected on beovision 10.
You will need a DVI - HDMI cable. Assign the HDMI port to PC (beomaster5).Try two room setup with V.OPT 2 and A.OPT 2.
System must be masterlinked.

Two solutions:
One is for sound (and control) only).
The other is for displaying - and controlling via - the menu of the BM5 with the option of showing pics too.
Both will work.
However, I an not sure, whether (in the second example) a sound connection by RCA or spdif in addition to the video connection will be needed or not? If my memory serves me well (enough), it is so!

Thank you guys for the answers.
May be i can say one more thing : there are no speakers connected to the BV 10. Only a pair of BeoLab 3 on the BS5/BM5.
So, i'm going to buy 2 cables : a masterlink and a DVI to HDMI.
Correct ?
Oui.
In this two room setup it is important, that the audio room can't detect ir commands sent in the video room and vice versa.

Reading this thread may me think perhaps I would like to connect my BS5 to my BV10 with the additional cable so I could see and make music selections on the TV. However, looking at the Beomaster 5 user guide online, it says the N. Music and N. Radio menus are only visible on a TV when there is no Beosound 5 connected. So it looks to me like with a Beosound 5, the only benefit of and HDMI/DVI cable would be web browsing and viewing pictures?
My BM5 (with BS5) has been connected to my BV7 using DVI-HDMI and SPDIFF for sound. Worked fine.
I decided to connect the BM5 to my kitchen TV instead, BV8-40, as main use with BM5 to a TV was viewing pictures (which I still think is far far better than DNLA, especially with 20.000+ pictures), and here I used a VGA RJ45 extender: DVI to VGA cable into RJ45 extender, then from RJ45 extender using VGA to VGA cable into BV8 (I have the model with only 2 HDMI). Worked fine and pictures showed in full resolution, however, I disabled the sound, as I already had the BS5 in the kitchen with speakers connected.
Are you able to select music on the TV just as if there was no Beosound 5 as well as on the Beosound 5 itself?My BM5 (with BS5) has been connected to my BV7 using DVI-HDMI and SPDIFF for sound.

If you have the BS5/BM5 combo connected to the BV, you only have with large coverart and basic functions on the BV like prev/next song, start/stop...unfortunately...!
If you connect just a BM5, it works like the BM1 (Beomedia 1) - with browsing the library and searching radio stations via BV screen.
