Hi, I want to get sound from my computer to my link room (BL3500)

I have a main room with a Avant 32 DVD and Beosystem 6500.

I hame my squeezebox connected to the A-Tape2 socket on my BS6500. As expected I have no problem to get the sound from that in my link room.

Now I want to play music from Spotify using my laptop. I was thinking about using the camcorder sockets on my avant.

I have no problem listening through the Avant speakers, but I have not yet succeeded to listen in my link room.

Any suggestions? Should I use one of the scart inputs instead?

'Camcord' should work fine in the link room as well. Can you call up any other TV-sound in there, such as the Avant's DVD player?

I don't think this is possible - I've tried it and the Camcorder connections are local sources only and not distributable via the link system

If You use Beo4 you don't have Link-Camcorder. I have a BV3-32 and BV1 (link) and I can send camcorder from BV3 to BV1, but only through Beo5. 🙂

Thank you all for trying to help me out.

However, I still haven't found a solution to my problem.

My BL3500 is in a link room and the option settings are such that I don't think I need a Link-Camcord command. At least the ordinary TV/SAT/RADIO commands work. I have added CAMCORD to my Beo4, but the BL3500 does not respond to that command.

I also tried to press SAT in the link room and then go to the main room to switch the avant to camcord. To my surprise the BL3500 continued to play sound from my DVB-box.

Could a SCART-adapter be a solution? If so, what do you think the socket be configured as? V.AUX? V.TAPE2?
