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

The Avant is in the same room whit the ouverture and 3500 but just 3500 & Ouverture are connected via ML.

Did you use LINK OPTION for your BL3500?

Must be L.OPT 5.

If this doesnot work disconnect the BL3500 fromm the mains for 2 minutes, reconnect and try again.

If this doesn´t work disconnect Masterlink from BL3500 and try L.OPT setting once more.

If this doesn`t work, check ML cable as Cal already said.

All products are in the same room set: Avant and Ouverture NOT connected by Masterlink. BL 3500 ML connected to Overture, NO speakers connected to Ouverture.

Ouverture: A.OPT 0

Avant: V.OPT 1

BL3500: L.OPT 5

I've tried to use LINK OPTION for BL3500 but seems not working even I've tried the procedure recommended by Stefan (connect & disconnect etc.)

Tried to check cable, I've buyed & not make the masterlink cable from myself...they work perfectly connecting ouverture to Avant.

evrithing seems to be perfect but...not work!

bah!

Mysteries of the high tech up to date or slightly exceeded!

How old is your Beolab? Did you buy it second life? Maybe its an LCS9000 and not a BL3500. Could be set to MCL...(?) So it won`t respond to ML.

Thanks to Keith:

"Extract from my FAQ on the subject

When I purchased my LCS9000, I was told it could only be used with MCL (Master Control Link), is this true ?

No, All units from day one shipment had both MCL and Master Link, however on the LCS9000’s the masterlink socket was covered with a black plug which made it appear that it only had MCL.

To use the MasterLink you need to remove the black plug and enable it via a service menu command. To get into the service menu to switch between ML & MCL press MENU then MENU then 0 then 2 then PLAY, then use the up arrow to switch, then store"

LCS9000 or BL3500 this is the problem! (Maybe:)

p.s. thanks for all the attempts to solve the problem  

 

It will be on the small label where connections are made!

Just...

"press MENU then MENU then 0 then 2 then PLAY, then use the up arrow to switch, then store"

You will see (hear) what happens...

SW 1.1.. I think you have to update..Must be the old LCS9000 with MCL.

My BL3500 just got SW3.3
