FAQ for B&O RF Link Amplifier

35 replies

I think I soon will give up.

I use a DTV on a Beo4 to activate the mainroom BV8-32 from the link. This works fine. The TV turns on (green light). I try to change the frequence to 450 as suggested. I tuned in a analogue channel i EyeTV to 450,25 mHz and suddenly I got a signal. Now everything looked almost fine. The quality was not the best.

Then I tried another frequency, but not signal from the main room. The TV still turn on. Now comes the weird thing. I changed the link frequency back  to 450 on both the TV and in EyeTV, but now there is no signal again. This is really weird.

The normal antenna signal still works. So it is not the cable from the RF link amplifier. Still wondering if it is the BV8-32.

 

Strange issue:

my LinkTV channel on EyeTV works only if the linkroom BeoVision 7 is on. If I switch off this TV, EyeTV link channel doesn't work anymore... I already set modular setting to "On". Any idea?

Hi, I have a Beosystem 1 EU in the main room and I want to distribute the sources connected to it to other rooms. But when I connect the incoming RF signal to it and then the other rooms to the outgoing link on the Beosystem I get no signal (not even the incomming signal) in the other rooms if the Beosystem is turned off. Should it be like that? If I turn the Beosystem on then the incomming signal is distributed to the other rooms.

You are a little bit "off topic" - the BSys 1 is not intended to be used with the
RF-Link-Amplifier cause it has a "RF-Mixing-Stage" already built in.

(But you can use the B&O RF-Link-Amplifier as a High Quality Aerial Distribution Amplifier
for the outgoing signal to the Link-Rooms )  

The BeoSystem 1 is similar to the electronics of an Avant.
The incoming aerial signal is "looped through" the BSys1 to the ANTENNA LINK OUT.
The BSys 1 acts as a "RF Mixing Amplifier" for the incoming aerial signal AND the
RF modulated signals of sources conected to the BSys1 like DVD/VCR/SetTopBox ...
Of course the BSys 1 has to be either in "standby" or "on" to be able to distribute
the signal.  

If a non B&O TV is connected in the Link-Room the Option for "Modulator" in the
setup menu of your BSys1 has to be set to "ON"

 

Suddenly it works. I have not done anything - at least what I know of. The only thing I have done is that I set the modulator option to "on" once more.

It seem like even if you just open the link frequency menu on the TV it the RF amplifier is turned off. Then set it to "on" again and DO NOT open to check.

The only problems now in Eye-tv is:

  • Poor picture quality. Why
  • The picture format do not really match. Why? I have tried to change.

Even the standard link frequency 599 works but same poor quality.
