I recently added a BV7-40 to my Masterlink network, and attached an AppleTV to it. I use the AppleTV for video but also for Airplay from my iPhone to distribute music. Previously, with my BS3 with an AppleTV attached to "TV" I was able to distribute music. In the new setup, after many different experiments, I've failed to be able to play music from the BV 7-40 from either my BS9000 version 2 with the upgraded 2.21 software, or a Beolink Passive. Airplay plays just fine through the BV7-40 speakers, using the command AV, V.MEM.

The AppleTV is connected to the BV7-40 MK III AV1 configured for V.MEM (same as V.TAPE).

All units are connected to the same ML Distribution box, with the BV7-40 connected to VIDEO MASTER, the BS9000 to AUDIO MASTER, and then the BL Passive and a BLGW. The BV7-40 and BS9000 are both designated as Video and Audio masters in the BLGW. 

Option settings:

BV7-40: Video Option 2

BS900: Audio Option 2

BL Passive: Link Option 6

When I command the BS 9000 to either AV, VMEM, or just VMEM, it properly displays VMEM, and it turns on the BV7-40 into AV VMEM mode. However, no sound comes out of the Powerlink socket nor the TAPE OUT line from the A AUX port on the BS9000. The same for the BL Passive, whether I command it from the Beo4 remote, or press the MUTE button to turn it on after sending the AV, VMEM command to the BS 9000 separately. 

CD, A AUX, and Radio all distribute audio properly from the BS9000 on both the BV7-40 and the BL Passive.

I have also tried designating the AV1 input for the AppleTV to VAUX, to no avail.

So, any ideas on why audio from a video source on the BV7-40 is not distributing? This is a fundamental capability of Masterlink.

Thanks,

Gregg
