Connecting BeoSound Ouverture to MX7000

20 replies

First off I have to excuse myself for asking what probably is a couple of stupid questions. I´m all new in this beoworld.

 

1. I was told that if I wanted to listen to the cd-player through the MX i needed to:

Use my Beo4 remote

Press list until AV* appeared

Then press GO

and the choose CD

 

The problem is that AV*never appeares!

2. Can anyone tell me why?

3. How can I fix this?

4. I want to connect some non B&O speakers to the Ouverture. Is this possible and what cable do I need? I have got some old Tandberg speakers.

5. Is there a pdf version of the Beosound Overture manual?

6. How can I connect my Ipod to the ouverture?

7. Can I connect my Ipod to the overture and play through the TV?

 

I hope that there is someone that can help me with this!😁

HI Lars

I presume your swedish the problem with the ouverture is that it's in the wrong mode if you are familiar with german go to discusions on the site and click on beo 4 und beosound 2300 I think it's the same for the ouverture

Hi LARS

The other part of your question about ipod and tandberg speakers try Sounds Heavenly there are a link in the bottom of the site he's an expert on b&0 cables but the ipod is easy you need a five pin din plug to connect to the ouveture and a stereo minijack to connect to you ipod its a standard cable I belive you can get almost from any well assorted hi-fi shop

Are they supposed to be connected through the powerlink slot?

 

Hi Lars

No they are not this is standard speakercable and cannot be used with powerlink

powerlink is more like a variable volume ment to be connected to a power amplifier

in this case the amplifier is built in b&O active speakers,but still I suggest to contact

Sounds Heavenly use the link in the bottom of this site

Hi Lars

I went to sounds heavenly's site and could not find what is needed

if you still  want to use your tandberg speakers you have to use an

external ampilfier like the b&0 ML/MCL converter.You can find it on this site under

products music systems regards jan

Thank you so mutch! I was trying to connect my Ipod through the aux slot on the ouverture, and the I was able to listen to radio through the tv speakers. But then I have no place to connect my Ipod. I tryed them in the powerlink slots but i got nothing. How many pins should there be in the powerlink to rca (red/white) converter cable? The one I´m using has got 5 pins

Hi larsbergen

You cannot use the powerlink for you ipod you have to buy a spiltter to your aux on your 2300 that spilts the aux into two din 5 pin connections

regards

jan

Can I use both:

ML/MCL Converter link link

Hej larsbergen

Jeg har nu en fornemmelse at du er dansk jo du kan bruge begge men du skal have et powerlink kabel(2) som tilsluttes dine powerlink udgange på din ouverture og tilsluttes powerlink indgangene på din mcl box derefter tilslutter du dine passive højtalere til din mcl med almindelige højttalerkabler forskellen på de 2 boxe er så vidt jeg ved noget omkring noget remote control
