dvd audio in link rooms

6 replies

I have an Avant in the main room that has a Pandora capable DVD player connected to it.  Is it possible to hear the dvd audio in my link rooms?  I figured since it's playing through the speakers connected to the Avant that it could send the audio signal over the masterlink.  Is this not possible?

Yes, it should work (unsure what you mean with "Pandora capable"). Try [DVD] in the link room, if it doesnt work, try [AV] [DVD]. It's possible to change the option settings so it will work with just [DVD].

Thanks for the response!  If I hit DVD in the link room it turns on (remote eye led goes out) and then turns back off.  I've tried setting different options and also AV on the Beo4.  So far it doesnt work.  Pandora is an internet music service by the way.  I wonder if it's because the dvd is connected with a digital toslink cable to the Avant.  Maybe it can't pass this signal.

If you mean the light flickers but no music comes out, that just (I think) means that the signal was received and relayed on. but not acted upon.  

 

On the other hand you may have meant it comes on for 5 minutes (say) of music and then switches off ?

Oh, sorry...It turns off immediately...

MasterLink can only handle analogue signals.
