Hi guys,

I've seen a similar question but noone with the same problem as I am having currently. I have a BV 7-40 as the main tv, and a BV 6-26 in the bedroom. They are connected via masterlink and for the video feed, I have run a coaxial cable between the two. An RF modulator sits between.

Now, the problem is that I cannot get any picture on my BV 6. It's just the regular static (snow...war of the ants) that you'd see in the old days. What am I doing wrong? What needs to be adjusted for this to work? Is the fact that I have an adapter on the RF Link Amp between the coaxial and the RF Link a problem?

Hoping for some good advice here!

Did you do any configuring with the settings in both BeoVisions ?

You have to set the BV7 to broadcast and the BV6 to receive that frequency.

Also, did you cable the RF modulator with multiple connections to the BV7.

It threw me the first time I saw that wiring arrangement !

The BV6 must be set to video option 6  if it is being used as a receiver in a Masterlink set up, as it is designed as a transmitter in a Masterlink system.

The RF Modulator is only linked once, i.e. from the BV 7 and nothing going back. Is that the problem?

As for the option setting, I have set it to 6 (on the BV 6) but it doesn't help... :-(

This is not the RF modulator, it's the manual for the RF link amplifier. RF modulator is built into your BV7.

Connect RF out to MOD IN of the link amplifier and TAP 1/2/3/4 to antenna in of your link tv.

Set BV7 to ?OPT 1/2, link TV to V.OPT 5/6.

RF modulator in BV7 must be set to auto/ on.

Search link frequency in your link TV.

What is the adapter you were talking of in your first post?
