Come on MM, do try to keep up ๐Ÿ˜•

I would have been faster.....if my wife would not have asked me, what I would do (on my iPad) right now - and if she would not have had to tell me, that she reads some novels (on her iPad) of the danish storyteller Jรธrn Riel - Life on Greenland (Grรธnland).

Dear MM

Clearly wives conspire

Mine said on Sunday "what are you doing"

"Beoworld"

90 minutes later she said "what are you doing"

Being an idiot I said "the same thing I was doing 90 minutes ago"

And as to bl5s and TVs ... If I had BL5s I would not want them wasted on cooking shows

I too would dedicate them to music

Or my theatre (if I had one)

No - not really!

You would however have the option of listening to CD/RADIO/Playmaker on the BL3500 in the kitchen whilst watching television in the main room which is obviously a more usual scenario than having TV sound and music on in the same room at the same time.

Ah, but can you honestly say that if they were in the same room as the TV you would be allowed to listen to anything else on them whilst the cooking show was on? ๐Ÿ˜•

Thanks for great answers :)

Seems like a great idea to attach BS9000, BC2 and BL3500 to BeoSys2. But can I do this with one "3 to 1" Junction Box? Or do I need two boxes? And are there different types???

Would you recomend to attach the Playmaker to BC2 or BS9000? Or iWork it be the same?

Will the BL10 center also be playing when i play music??

Sorry! Not 'iWork' but 'will' ๐Ÿ˜€

I wasn't aware of the Junction Box. (I have a lot to learn). Can I buy this from B&O or maybe Sounds Heavenly? Are there different types of junction boxes? So that I could also ad my BC2dvd? Would be nice to be able to play a DVD from time to time...

As MM mentioned, if you use your BC2DVD in the main room it would need to be instead of the BS9000 as both of these items respond to radio, cd etc. You could then use the BS9000 in a different room but it would need it's own speakers connected then.

There are several types of masterlink junction boxes - ones where you just plug a number of masterlink cables into the box, and ones where you can splice together the individual cores of several masterlink cables without plugs on that end. The former are more expensive (around 70GBP in the UK) but simpler to use and both types are available from your dealer.

BL5's must be cooking - that is what they are made for ๐Ÿ˜

We have our speakers connected to a BV10 and the BS5 and BS3000 masterlinlked together all in the same room

We can have the Tv on while the sound from the BS5 or BS3000 comes through the speakers at the same time.

Put tv on desired channel and select AV and then sound source. The TV will will stay on the selected channel and the sound from the audio source will come through the speakers. Best done with a Beolink 1000 as AV button is on the keypad.

Works well as long as you don't want to channel hop. As soon as you change TV channel the audio source will drop out the and tv sound will come back on.

Hope this helps.

Peter

As I wrote - some people do so.

But I must admit, that I never saw the point in doing so ๐Ÿ˜ 

 

N.B. BS5 and BS3000 together is not the same as BC2 and BS9000 together.
