You can call N.RADIO or N.MUSIC from any room without waking up the TV, but only if you have a N.MUSIC compatible Audio System as well.

(BS3000 with recent software, BS9000 with recent software, Beosound 4, Beocenter 2).

Thanks for the quick reply!

So the BeoMaster 1 can't act as a Audio Master (Long time fan, but new to actually use B&O equiptment)? 
Do I have the same limitations with an BeoPort connected to a PC with BeoPlayer?

Beomedia 1 cannot act as an audiomaster. Beomaster 5 can, even without a Beosound 5.

 

Not so true i am afraid. In my system (BV7, BeoMedia1, and Beoport/PC/Beoplayer/IR) it has never acted as an audiomaster. 

As you can see below, you can set Beoplayer (Beoport) in option 0. Works like a charm. The PC's CD player even works when you press CD on the remote.

Beomedia 1, however does not have this option.

It seems that the better choice for me, would be an BeoPort/BeoPlayer combination before an BeoMedia 1 at the moment.

Thank you both for your input.

However, with the Beoport, the downside is that you do not get onscreen navigation, as it does not respond to the PC key. Unless you've got a dedicated PC, then you'll won't be able to hear any "normal sound" that your PC is doing unless you use the TV's speakers.

Using a Beomedia, you could select your music on screen and then mute the picture.

Using a Mac mini, you could use both N.MUSIC, N.RADIO, CD (Audio master) and also use with onscreen media navigation.

I have tested it in options 2 and 6. I will try option 0 as you suggest and see. Main PC should be Yes or No when you have the Beomedia also linked?

The option "main PC" has to do with the question : Does this PC distribute the music to the link?

If you're only having a beoport without the Beomedia, then the answer is : Yes.

If you're having a Beomedia, then the Beomedia is the main PC, and the option has to be set to : No.

If you have more then 1 beoport, but no Beomedia, only one PC with beoport is set to "yes", that's the one with the music files.

I'm having the Beomedia for some time now, and I really enthusiastic about it. When you're installing Beoplayer on any other pc, it plays the music from the Beomedia as well.

Works very good. I have one (a second one I don't use)  for sale by the way, with a 500GB harddrive. Look at the Private Sale Section.
