Hello All,

Looking for some advise on setup for ease of use in same room. So far having issue isolating remotes or functions activated unexpectedly.

I just consolidated all my B&O AV in my living room and ended up with a complete Beosystem 7000 (Beogram CD, record player, Beocord and Beomaster), Beosound 9000, Beovision 11-55, BL18's,BL17's BL19. 

The Beosound 9000 is connected via ML to NL/ML converter and Beomaster connected via powerlink to AV in BV11. All speakers are connected to BV 11. I have 2 extra NL/ML, an MCL to ML box and considering switching from AV to NL/ML fo Beomaster 7000 connection.

I currently use a Beo 4 nav version and want to integrate my beolink 7000 RDS into mix. I was hoping to just use the Beolink 7000 to operate Beosystem and enjoy 2 way communication and use Beo 4 or Beoremote one for everything else.

A few issues I have

  • Activating Phono on beolink 7000 activate netradio on TV and Beosound 9000
  • Using Beolink 7000 to control Beomaster works sometimes and sometimes not
  • Using Beolink 7000 to control CD activates both beogram and BS9000 which activates CD mode on TV
  • Playing records requires switching from netradio back to AV and controlling volume on Beomaster first and then BV11

Hoping someone has had success integrating something like this successfully.

Using a BeoRemote One and connecting the BS7000 with an NL/ML Converter will give you the perfect operation. You currently have the BeoVision 11 in Beo 4/5/6 IR mode. You need to change that to "Beovision" mode so that the Beo 4/5/6 IR mode is disabled. Then, you use the "BeoVision" mode of the BeoRemote One. You can add both NL/ML Converters to the BeoVision 11 under "product integration/link to other products". If the Phono/N.Radio source is still causing problems, you can freely map your beogram turntable as another source on the NL/ML Converter.

I have a very similar setup with a BeoSystem 4 with a BeoSound 9000 and BeoSystem 5500 in the same room. Once I use the BeoRemote One (in "BeoVision" mode) to activate the source via the BeoSystem 4, I can use the Master Control Panel 5500 (which has 2-way communication) to control the BeoSystem 5500. There is no interference with the BeoSystem 4 from the MCP 5500.

I've found that the N.Radio/Phono source can have weird results in activating the n.music of the BeoSystem 4 even when it's in beovision ir mode. Therefore, it's a good idea to use another source mapped via the NL/ML Converter.

The reason that you have to adjust volume on the Beomaster with the PHONO is because you are using POWERLINK output to connect to the BV. POWERLINK levels go up and down with volume control. On the other hand if you use the LINE outputs on the TAPE 2 jack on the BM7000, you will only need to adjust volume on the BV. Steve at SoundsHeavenly can whip up the right cable for you. This is how I connected to the BV in my setup - using the TAPE2 output on the BM4500. 

I re-confirmed that the BS9000 does not respond to my Beolink 7000 when it is in 2 way mode. 

In order to get it to work in two way mode, delete ALL components on the PANEL/SETUP/SYSTEM/COMPNTS menu. Then, add RADIO, CD, or PHONO and it will send a command to the BM7000, when it gets a reply it will then be in two way mode.

@beojeff and @gregg Thanks so much for the detailed replies. I will give the beoremote one and NL/ML route a go and report back.

@beojeff, Should I assume that I need to remove the dummy plug from the line in/out input of BM 7000 and connect a 7 pin data cable between the MCL/ML converter and ML out to ML of second the NL/ML converter? I also have an extra gateway unit and curious if this would also work in lieu of Nl/ML converter?

Thanks

The 7 pin AUX cable goes to the TV/AUX jack on the BM7000 from the ML/MCL convertor. The jack on the BM7000 with the plug is rarely used. It is for connecting a non B&O equalizer to adjust frequency response.

Once it is all connected everything needs to have all power plugs out then out back in.
