Unfortunately, I have not succeeded yet to get this to work. The only thing that works is to stop the music on the BV7 by pressing "join". I cannot start/restart/control volume or anything else.

From my knowing, connecting that ( join-type ) IR-eye to the NL/ML converter is only usefully for its functions if you connect some active speakers to the converter's power link outlets.

Do not expect that it will control any more functions if you're not using the outlets.

This is correct, I have an NL/ML converter is such a setup.

With speakers and an IR eye the NL/ML converter acts like it is an ML Active kit.

I have BLs attached to the ML/NL Converter. Attached are an BS4 via ML and V1 via NL. An IR Eye is connected as well.

I can press the join button on the IR Eye and it will join the active session, either from the NL or ML network. The BeoMusic app is not supported for the NL/ML Gateway, The BeoRemote App does work. 

Thanks. This is a very interesting setup and I will have a lot more questions.

So, you are using the PL, ML and NL connection all at the same time? Your BS4 and V1 all use / play to the BLs attached to the PL of the ML/NL, right? What happens if you play a CD on the BS4 and watch a movie on the V1 at the same time? What audio do the BLs pick up?

The V1 also has its own speaker. Do you switch it off or can it be configured to play together with teh BLs?

When you say that the IR eye allows you to join an active session. Does it start anything if no session is active?

I have an ML/NL converter and use the Beomusic app (and it works). Have you tried to use it with your setup?

Any thoughts on above. Curious how to use the MLML in combination with ML connected BV and PL connected BL. Thanks!

>> Sometimes.

No, The BS4 has no speakers and is using the V1 speakers. The BLC ML/NL speakers are independent.

What happens if you play a CD on the BS4 and watch a movie on the V1 at the same time? What audio do the BLs pick up?

This is not an option in my setup, as the BS4 has no speakers. The BLC ML/NL is off or using an audio or a video source. Keep in mind that the BLC ML/NL has two 'independent' functions. Converting ML/NL protocols and an 'Actice Kit'

The V1 also has its own speaker. Do you switch it off or can it be configured to play together with teh BLs?

>> The BLC ML/NL is used as a link speaker and in located a different room as the V1. As such they work independent

When you say that the IR eye allows you to join an active session. Does it start anything if no session is active?

>> It will use the last active source.

>> The BeoMusic App does not show the BLC ML/ML 

Got it, this is very helpful. Thanks. Let me see whether I fully understand and ask some more questions.

1) Your BS4 via the ML/NL acts as a NL device. You play CDs from your BS4 via your V1. You do this by selecting the source from the V1 and just play it on the speakers attached to the V1.

2) You do not play music from the BS4 to your BL speakers attached to the ML/NL.

3) The IR eye controls the speakers attached to the ML/NL. These speakers act as NL speakers (and not ML speakers).

3) How have you set up your ML/NL? As A-Master?

4) Have you tried playing from the V1 both to the speakers attached to the V1 as well as to the speakers attached to the ML/NL? In-sync?

>> Correct, just like it work when you have ML

2) You do not play music from the BS4 to your BL speakers attached to the ML/NL.

>> I do hear musing from the BS4 to the BLC ML/NL

3) The IR eye controls the speakers attached to the ML/NL. These speakers act as NL speakers (and not ML speakers).

>> As either, The BLC ML/NL can be used to hear ML audio sources or NL sources

3) How have you set up your ML/NL? As A-Master?

>> As a V-Master, this is required in order to use the BS4 from the V1

4) Have you tried playing from the V1 both to the speakers attached to the V1 as well as to the speakers attached to the ML/NL? In-sync?

>> Yes, and it is in-sync.
