Thanks Beobuddy! Do you confirm that option should be set to 0?
Is it possible to use BeoMedia 1 without turning on your TV?
I never tried option 0.
Normally it has to do with the optional ir-eye.
It responds to Link-PC/Vtap2e/VAux, when opt 4 is used.
So, option 0 will probably make the BM1 a kind of slave.
BTW, what I discovered is, that when you disconnect the ML cable from the BM1 and then enter the setup (settingsmenu) from the BM1.
Then after 2 seconds you can change the command where the BM1 has to respond to. Normally it is "PC".
But when you change it to V-Aux, then the BM1 can be used with older equipment which do not know the PC command.

Just did a bit of testing, and in fact you must set the Beoport to Option 2 to make it act as an audiomaster.
N.MUSIC, N.RADIO and CD will be distributed from the Beoport to all rooms.
I have a BeoSound Ouverture, two BeoLab 4000 and BeoLab 3500 one. I would buy beomedia 1 to hear the music that is in my PC. Is the beomedia 1 ok for this function?
No, you can't, because your Ouverture isn't N.MUSIC compatible.
Thank for your reply. Can I use beomedia 1 with my tv panasonic 42 plasma or is it necessary B&O tv?
Yes, You could use Beomedia 1 with your Panasonic TV. But you have to use additional equipment. I personally like the minimalistic style of BeoMedia1 more than iTunes.
You cold make it work, with an additional IR-eye and a lintronic TT455-RT-238 box.Configure the BM1 as it is done with older B&O TVs which do not support the PC command. Connect video to the TV and audio to the A.Aux to the overture (the adapter should be available at your B&O shop). To make it work at the press of one key on your Beo4 you have to use the lintronic box. It's a little bit tricky, but can be solved. If it's worth, ist up to you.

I am not sure why you'd need the TT455 box. Just an external B&O IR Receiver and that should work.
p.
You are right about the TT455.
If you dont't want to use BM1 by pressing a single button you can forget about the TT455.
In this case you would set the overture to A.Mode 1 and configure the BM1 to listen to V.Aux command.
You first press A.Aux to start Overture, then you start BM1 with V.AUx command.
