The other thread assumes the 2 audio masters are in different rooms and each have speakers. Which will not be your case.

If I were you I'd try and use the BC2 as a DVD player only. Not connecting the MasterLink and setting it to Option 0.

What TV have you got?

p.

I do not have any of these, but I read on the forum that no-one have really been able to use this slave mode.

Again, this was just a hypothetical... I don't yet have a B & O television, but I plan on getting one next year. If it is a BV7, I won't have to worry about the DVD player, BUT... one never knows what one can walk away with when one is at a B & O store buying a television, and if I go with a BV8 next year, well, since it doesn't have a DVD player, etc... and I don't want to get rid of the BS9000 on the wall. he he he

In any case, the spirit of my question was only to get the mental B & O juices flowing.

Doesn't the BeoCentre 2 have V.Opt programming as well as A.Opt programming? Maybe I'm wrong but I thought it was different to other players in that it has both...

The Video part of BC2 is normally controlled by Data link i the scart connection.  

Slave mode which is audio option 6 (or is it 5? i get so confused!) is intended for use where you want a second hifi in a link system which will only operate in that one room, it will not get over the fact that both systems will respond to the same CD, RADIO commands if in the same room.

Here's a theory. If you have a B&o TV with masterlink you could connect the beosound 9000 to the tv using masterlink, the beocentre 2 to the tv via scart, and make a connection from the twin phono out of the beocentre 2 to the 7 pin din aux connectin of the 9000. Put the TV in v opt 2, the 9000 in a opt 0 and the beocentre 2 in a.opt 0. The beocentre 2 will only respond to DVD command via scart, the 9000 will respond as normal, If you want digital radio you will have to switch on the beocentre2 using its master unit, select a staion, and then select A.Tape on Beo 4 to open the aux in of the 9000

Hope this is useful

durr just read you don't have B&o tv!

Ok , if you were prepared to purchase a beolink Active you could do this, connect the active via masterlink to the hifi which does not have the loudspeakers connected to it, make a lead which takes 8 pin powerlink to aux input of the hifi with the loudspeaskers on. Put the active into L opt 4 and the hifi that the active is masterlinked to into A opt 0. operate the hifi with the loudspeakers on as normal, then when you want the other hifi open the aux socket and use LINK prefix to control the other hifi. 

This will of course only work in that room, you cannot connect both hifis to a link system, so you would have to decide which you wanted to be able to distribute.
