Just tested this. 

Only a passive with fully powerlink without ML or ir. It works great. 

As I already mentioned. Power up the BS9000 when cables are connected. 

Has worked a thousand times before - so why shouldn't it in this case?

The BL Passive (as an amp) is one of the oldest and most reliable pieces of B&O hardware, that we have!

I have used several in different setups for years without any trouble.

If used this way, it is just an amp that triggers on the right PL cable - nothing special there.

Of course he can!!!

But why should you hide a BS9000?

Never heard of that before 😕

N.B. I did write 'The BL Passive (as an amp).......'

Aha!

And how (and why) would you hide a BS Moment?

Just don't say, because it looks like it does 😠

You would not be able to use it then - you probably would not buy it either.

Since a couple of people have queried why I have the BS9000 in a cabinet that can hide it, two reasons - first it keeps it from getting covered in dust (it's not the easiest thing to clean thoroughly and carefully), and secondly, for security reasons (when I don't want such an expensive item visible all the time). I should add that generally the cabinet door is open so I can enjoy the "show" when CD is on random 😁 I'd post a picture (which would make all clear), but I don't know how to do it on here.

A quick update, as I have now had time (work permitting) to properly act on the useful advice that people have been kind enough to give. Masterlink has been disconnected (so only Powerlink2 connection now), IR also removed, and BS9000 set to A.Opt 1 - now it works just as I wanted, so thanks to all for their help. 🙂

Great news and thanks for the update.  Not everyone is so considerate to show the resolution to their problems.

Hi beofan and thanks for getting back on the subject.

You can post pictures from a browser on PC/Mac - not on an iDevice.

Use the 'Reply' button, and you will se some options for adding photos etc..

It should be possible to add pictures using the Beoworld app too - but I have no experience how to, since I only use the standard browser version of the Beoworld site.
