Hi again. I pad screen starts to flicker when message gets to biig 

So you say that you have a tube linking the rooms meaning you can swap and change cable as you please? If so why not go with master link cable. If I could swap and change I would only use the cables I needed at the time as technology is moving so quickly you can't really ever 100% future proof your self. I was going to run it to where I plan on putting future speakers(rears) but I'm glad I didn't now as b&o then launched wisa which would of rendered them redundant before they had ever been used.

I also researched cat 7 a lot and really it is overkill cat 6e is more than sufficient however b and o insist on cat7 then connectors are also a lot more expensive for cat 7 and if you don't use the expensive cat 7 ones an go with cat6 connectors you may aswell just use cat6 cable. Also if not wired properly apparently the shield on cat7 can carry electricity causing the wire to melt maybe even cause a fire. There's also bending radius to take into account they say not to bend it more than say a tennis ball radius if that makes sense. 

Just my two pence worth I'm sure there other people on here with more info and some who would disagree but that's my honest opinion. All the best

thanks to all of you for your thoughts, OPTs settings and sharing own experience;

Happy New Year

Hello to All!

After finishing my setup running a cat7 cable it works perfectly with BS 3200 (with BL3) in A.opt 1 and BS5/BM5

now I included my BS9000 (with BL8000) - A opt1 (I suppose) following issues occur:

playing n.music (BM5) on BS3200 I must not switch on BS9000 (N.music is shown on display) -> it's going to overrule the music on BS3200 with playing the same source in both rooms (BL8000 are off/red)

switching off BS9000 also switches off BS3200

 

I'm very happy with this setup - the only thing I do not like is the fact that I cannot listen to N.music in link room (=BS 3200) and listen to e.g. radio in main room (=BS9000);
Is there any known way to get this work?

What about including link speakers like BL3500 or a Beolink active (planned to be in future) - will I have the same issues?  

What about connecting a Beovision in main room? What will change? Will I be able to listen to n.music in a link room AND watch TV in main room? At the moment I can not switch on BL9000 while playing N.Music in link room.

 

Thanks for your thoughts, best regards
