THANKS you have been all such a great help!

Will start hunting next month when I get paid.

HI again, i got a ml/mcl with ir eye and connected it to the overture eith powerling and ml cable. I still cant adjust the volume in the second room. I can switch the amp off via the ir eye. I cant understand what the timer is for either. Any ideas?

I have tried to change to option 2 on link setting but my remote doesnt get that option by just holding the list button. I have to press it to scroll through the options to get link on screen. 

Cheers. 

Unless I am missing something here (and I can't find my 'reading' glasses, so maybe...), everyone is making this more complex than it needs to be.  Try this:

Disconnect mains power from the Overture and the MCL2P.  ML cable from Overture to MCL2P.  IR eye to MCL2P.  Gallo speakers to MCL2P.  Power back to the MCL2P.  Power back to the Overture.  Set MCL2P to Link Option 1.  No Active kit.  No MCL2AV.  Let us know what happens.

I just tried that and still i cant adjust the volume. I have changed the amp to a ml/mcl with an IR eye. THe eye still can switch off the ml/mcl  but nothing else. I also cannot use the ml/mcl unless the powerlink cable is connected also, the ML cable does not work on its own solely to switch it on or get sound out of it. I am lost on this.

The right option setting for a ML/MCL converter + IR eye in link room is:

 "L.Opt 5" or "L.Opt 6"

"LIST" >> "OPTION ?" >> "L.OPT" and  "5" or "6"
"5" = audio sources only 
"6" if you have also have a B&O TV in your setup

For option programming the system has to be in "standby"

A successful programming will be confirmed by a "twinkle" of the LED
(LED is going out for a moment).

... a MCL2P has no MasterLink input, just PowerLink available
>> therefore an active kit is necessary too.

For a ML/MCL converter you described  the right procedure - but a wrong option setting.

"Disconnect mains power from the Overture and the MCL2P.  
ML cable from Overture to MCL2P.  
IR eye to MCL2P.  
Gallo speakers to MCL2P.
Power back to the MCL2P.  
Power back to the Overture.  
Set MCL2P to Link Option 1. "

Thank you i have tried bith options but the ir sensor does not change the volume of the ml/mcl output speakers. The sensor does switch the amp off though. 

Im sure the l opt i use works as the light on the sensor changes to on or off for every different option i use.

Did you connect all 5 cables properly to the terminal strip?
(Ie if you insert a wire too much - not the wire, just the insulation of the wire will be fastened
>> poor or no contact at all will be the result ...)

Can you manually change the volume of your ML/MCL via the "arrow up" and "arrow down" buttons?

The sensor arrived wired up. I can't change the volume via the sensor on the arrow up and down part. That is what I am trying to get it to do. I will open the sensor and have a look to see if it's wired correctly. 

i have edited this as i have changed the amp to the MC/MCL amp and linked it to my overture with a ML and powerlink cable. I have tried every option and checked the IR sensor wiring and it still does not allow me to change the volume. Infact the ML cable doesnt seem to do anything really as the PL must be connected for the amp to work at all.

Is there something broken or should i give up?

Only ONE CONNECTION is allowed AT THE SAME TIME !

EITHER PowerLink
OR MasterLink !

If you connect a PowerLink cable the ML/MCL will work as a power amp, beeing controlled
by your audio or video system (the preamp stage and IR is disabled).

If you connect a MasterLink cable the ML/MCL will work as a zone (linkroom) amp, the preamp
stage for volume / sound control is "on" and is controlled by the IR eye (manually or via remote).
