hello all

I’m new in this forum, I love B&O appareil, so I’ve buyed some used one (beovision Avant, bs ouverture, beolab 3500 & some beocom ) to try, gradually, to make a nice integrated system.

Now I have a problem with my BeoLab 3500 & my Ouverture.

Let's see if I can explain the problem with my bad English.

I have my Ouverture connected to my BeoLab 3500 with a Masterlink cable and the result is ...disappointing.

I’m using the beo 4 remote to control “the system” but…I cannot control anything.

I’ve finished to connect cables and I’ve turn on the system, the clock time appears on the display of BeoLab, but via beo 4 it’s impossible to turn on the music, the overture respond to commands...but not transmit music to the BeoLab.

Magically, pressing the physical button to the right on the BeoLab  3500 the radio turn on & the music came out from the speaker but…trying to using again beo 4: the overture it’s able to change the music source (radio, cd tape) but does not allow changing the volume, turning off the overture from the remote control the clock reappears on BeoLab.

I tried different settings (A.opt & L.opt)... but I have not accomplished anything.

anyone have any suggestions for me?

Thanks in advance and sorry again for my bad English

Hi John and welcome to the forum!

  Is the Avant also connected to the set up via ML?

  Are the OT and 3500 in the same room?

Look for option settings: ouverture option 0, beolab 3500 option 4 (not sure).

Search the forum for how to set options with your remote.

Found this thread!

Set the whole system to standby.

If all products are in the same room set:

Ouverture: A.OPT 0

Avant: V.OPT 1

BL3500: L.OPT 5

The concerning LEDs should flash shorty when you set the options.

Hope this helps.

Hello,

If I understood your installation correctly:

Avant and Ouverture in one room and NOT connected by Masterlink

BL 3500 in another room ML connected to Overture

The Option setting should be:

Avant: V_OPT 1

Ouverture: A_OPT 1

BL 3500: L_OPT 5 or 6

 

Do You have speakers connected to your Ouverture. If not, it could be that the Ouverture defaults to A_Opt 0

In this case you should to ML it to the Avant:

Avant: V_Opt: 2

Ouverture: A_Opt: 0

BL 3500: L_Opt 6

Hi, before trying link settings etc, did you make the masterlink cable yourself? If so it's very easy for one of the cables to not make a clean connection causing all kinds of issues.

Can you try a different masterlink cable? This will ensure that the connection between the two units is not at fault.

Cal
