NL/ML configuration help needed for its audio jacks

35 replies

I have an NL/ML converter in my system. I recently attached a Bluetooth receiver to the audio inputs of the NL/ML converter.

In the NL side I have a Beosystem 4. In its Setup I was able to see that the "Line In" source was already assigned to the NL/ML converter. I just had to choose a button on the remote. I chose A.Mem. Again this  button choice was made within the Beosystem 4 setup source selection. This all works as I am now able to play music from my phone to the Beosystem 4.

On the ML side of the converter I have a Beolab 3500 and a Beosystem 2500. I can play CDs and radio from the 2500 to either the Beolab 3500 or the Beosystem 4.

Now for what's NOT working.

On the Beolab 3500 I can play CDs and radio from the 2500 but I'm unable to play music from my phone through the Bluetooth receiver attached to the audio jacks on the NL/ML converter.

I've a attched a pdf with my screenshots of my NL/ML config but I don't know what to reconfigure.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

 

 

 

 

 

Hi

If you have a combination of NL and ML all the Masterlink audio sources are “locked “ on the Masterlink side that means if you choose RADIO, CD, A.TAPE(a.mem) PHONO(n.radio) ore A.TAPE2(n.radio) on any Masterlink devise it will always start your audiomaster(BS2500) causing an conflict if you have the same source on the NL side like A.MEM.....

I hope my explanation makes a little sense??

You have set the converter as v. Master ml role. This gives you the option to assign any nl source to v. Sources on ml. Your current configuration of sources visible on ml is blank. Assign sources you would like to access on ml there. Remember to set bc2500 to a. Opt 2.

Hope this helps

Thanks Soren and Kromer.

To assign a NL source to the ML side I would do that on the Sources Visible on ML  page of the NL/ML Configuration correct?

Kromer: Where do I set the bc2500 to a. Opt 2. (What is that for?) Thanks

HI,

 I tried adding the source PC on the Sources visible on ML. I selected the top  "Beolink Converter NL/ML" as its listed twice on the pull down list. as my options were the two "Beolink Converter NL/ML" options followed by Beosystem 4. And selected NL source as "Line IN" . I also modified the screen IR Mapping likewise for PC.

Unfortunately when I sent the PC IR command (I added it to a BEO4) to the BL3500 it wouldn't even Power Up. CD and Radio IR commands fire up the BL3500.

As a side note I'm not sure whether the BL3500 is a BL3500 or an LCS9000 as it's comm cable is feed into a MCL/ML converter.

 

 

Depending on the age of your BL3500 it would not understand the command “PC”

For testing you can try TV, V.MEM, DTV or DVD they are “old” command that all BL3500 understand, i have a list somewhere with the commands that should also work...... I can try to find it later.

Soren,

Thanks for the info. I do know TV works. Question if you look at the IR mappings of my system's NL/ML configuration (in the original attachment)  the only open IR commands that are empty are: DTV2, DVD2, Camera, V.Aux2 and PC.

Am I limited to using only those empty commands? I will try those to see if the BL3500 accepts any of those commands.

 

DTV2 and DVD2 is equal to the old commands V.AUX and V.TAPE2 and should work

V.AUX2 is the same as the command DOORCAM and I don’t think that would work on BL3500 if it an older model...

Søren,

   DVD2 did work to activate the BL3500. The BL3500 displayed V.Tape2.

   Of the unused IR commands in my system DTV2, Camera, V.Aux2 and PC all failed to activate the BL3500.

   At least the DVD2 worked so I think I have a path to pursue.

Thanks for your help. I will post further developments.
