If the Moment is set to use the speakers of the NL-BV, it will turn on the tv, playing the requested 'source'.

The problem (!) with the BS Essence is, that you can't set it to use the speakers of the NL-BV.

Would be nice, if we could - wonder if they will change that some day.

I don't see any technical reason, why it should not be possible - will be a matter of sw.

I have reported that as a request to Beocare - maybe someone else should do that as well!

So I could not listen to to Essence sources through the speakers connected to my V1?

3: Yes - but not Spotify Connect and AirPlay. (However, if you can connect to the BS/BM5 using a NL/ML converter, the Essence will just be the A.Aux from your BS/BM5.)

If you - by 'connects fine' - mean, that your V1 can see (and use) the music from the BM5 server, it is another question (your V1 is standalone, right). You can use any DLNA control app (e.g. PlugPlayer or 8Player on an iPad) to choose, what to play from the BM5-server to your V1. N.B. You can not use the BeoMusic app for that!

If I connect an Essence to the Beosound 5 Aux In, with the Behringer device, select A.Aux to start playing in a room connected via Masterlink to the BS5, select source/music for the Essence to play, would I be able to use the "join" function on the Beo 4 to turn on my stand alone V1 and have it start playing the same music wirelessly from the Essence that is being sent by the Essence via the Aux In to the Masterlink products?

If the V1 and the Essence are in the same network you can use the join function. Then the V1 isn't standalone anymore.

 

The A.aux command on the BS5 won't start the Essence. You need to control it separately with the beoremote essence or the Beomusic app

Thanks. That is how I thought it would work and was hoping I could use the join function. Using the join function will it play through the speakers connected to the V1? The post I copied a couple posts ago seemed to mention some problem with using connected speakers on a NL tv to play music from an Essence.

I run my V1-40 that I have in my bedroom (with connected BL17) without any issues at all. I have both one Essence mk2 and a Moment and I run these two scenarios and it works flawless:

- Scenario 1: Music playing on the Moment (same scenario with the Essence)... Hit "Join" on the BeoOne remote for the V1-40 and the music streams perfect through the BL17. Of course you need to assign the NL-link source (Music) to the speaker group where you external speakers are setup.

- Scenario 2: My moment is turned off (in stand-by). I relax in my bedroom where my V1 is located. Have assigned a shortcut on the BR One to start the NL-Music source. When the button is pushed the V1 instantly starts to play the music from the Moment (where it was left of when turned off. eg. the playlist or album that I had running on the Moment when hitting the pause-button). I can switch to next/previous track with the BR One which is very convenient. The moment still is not turned on (on the Moment display it just displays "Distributing").

If I want to add in other sources it is so simple. Can hit join in my living room and the BL18 and BV11 is instantly joining the show. Actually... I have been reading a lot on here and have seen many ppl experience problems. I must say that it works perfect in my setup and have been perfectly stable when I got all my network setup correct (running 5ghz and on fixed channel).

Just let me know if you want to have more input

What if:

The Moment AND the Essence are both playing (in seperate rooms) and you want to listen to, what is playing from the Essence in the bedroom/V1/BL17?

Which command would you use? The Moment (PatternPlay) - as you wrote - was connected and assigned to 'Music'. How are the sources of the Essence connected/assigned to the V1? I guess the 'Join' command would not do the job there.(?)

There is no 'conversion' involded, so: no!

Two NL-devices = multiroom.
