I will try Option 4 when I get home.

Try setting the BeoSound 5 as no audiomaster in the settings meny.

I have everything working almost perfectly now.  I have now set the BV7 to option 1, and the BV10 to option 2.


This has caused the timer to remain active in the 7. And, even better, not only does the timer in the 7 turn the 7 on, it is also turning the 10 on. I then programmed the receiver connected to the 10 to turn on and select the channel at the same time. Thus, I can now have the BV7 timer turn both TVs on to the desired channel. The BV10 even turns to the preset stand position which I know does not typically happen with timer commands. I had been told the timer in the 7 could not be used to activate the 10, here in the USA, where the TVs are connected only by Masterlink.

As for control of the Beosound 5, in the room where it is located, with the 10, turning the wheels on it activates it and the speakers in that room. Also, using a remote all seems to work fine.

In the room with the BV7, the Beo 4 works to turn on and control N. Music with only a couple minor problems. To activate N. Music in that room I had to add A-N Music to the Beo 4. Using that command the N. Music starts perfectly and I then have full control. One other slight problem is that if I have the TV on, and then use the A-N Music button the N Music starts but the picture remains on the TV. That is a minor problem as I rarely switch from TV to N Music. I added the Picture Mute button but it disappears when I activate N Music and I can not get it to reappear.

Option 4 worked but I did not like having to use Link for TV. Maybe if I get my Beo 5 reprogrammed it will be the way to go.

But if I do that, wont I lose the ability to control the Beosound 5 with an iPad or iPhone?

 

Yes, right. For using BS5 with ipad/iphone you must set it up to Audiomaster and music server on. This makes your setup more strange, as you have two videomasters (BV7 and BV10) in one Masterlink setup in addition to two audiomasters - BS3000 and BS5....(?)

Yes, it is strange, but it works. Also, i currently have disconnected the Beosound 3000 from the system.
