There is no software 1.4 for Beomaster 7000....the latest is 1.3 that enables 2 way communication with BL5000/7000

I believe BM7000 was 2-way from the beginning, my unit is software 1.0 (by the sticker on the back and by the sticker on the chip) and it's two-way.

I haven't seen any release notes on what was fixed on the later versions but I believe (based on some older discussions) that it was related to some exotic multi-room setups where some combinations might not work with the earlier software.

Anywhere I could get a file of the 1.3 for BM7000 so I could upgrade?

It is correct that BM7000 was 2way from the beginning...Sw1.3 was a special version that was introduced after the production of the 7000 ended. It has partnumber 8342830,but is no longer available from B&O But a couple of years ago a guy named Ulf from Germany could deliver them, I don’t know If he still has them on stock.

SW1.1 was introduced from serial number 10229486 and corrected some issues with the clock sometimes being reset when the Bm7000 was used as a stand-alone product.

SW1.2 corrected som issues with the date being set wrong when using the Beomaster7000 in combination with a LCS9000/Beolab3500 and A Master Control Panel.... this software was never implemented in production.

So - no way of getting the Beocenter 9500 to work in two-way mode when in option 0?

Mine has software 1.5 by the way and seems to be from mid 1993.

Cheers,

Kai

Dear All to avoid any confusion:

BM 7000 had a RDS decoder build in as standard.
When B&O changed from two way to one way, the RDS and other information could not be relayed to BL 7000.RDS Therefore SW 1.3 for BM 7000 was post developed also to work in option 0 with two way transmoit only from BM 7000

BC 9500 did not have a RDS decoder.   
B&O decided only to upgrade the BM 7000 SW..
