To change options setting you must have the systems in standby.

 

 

Taken from a post from Vienna


A.OPT for audio components like BSd 4, Ouverture,...

V.OPT for video components like BVi 7 / 8 / ...

L.OPT for link products like BLb 3500, BeoLink Aktive, ...

Main-system:
1 and 2

Link rooms:
5 and 6 functions correspond to 1 and 2 but are for secondary "slave" components in additional "Link" rooms
4 functions correspond to 2 but need "LINK"

 

0 = IR disabled - unit can only be operated manually or receive commands via ML

1 = accepts NO commands for "the other side" of main AV system
       V.OPT 1 only commands for video sources like TV, V.MEM, ..
       A.OPT 1 only commands for audio sources like CD, RADIO, ...

2 = accepts all commands for audio and video
      (eg TV receives all commands and sends the audio commands to the audio system in A.OPT 0

3 = not used in the ML system

4 = accepts all commands for audio and video (functions corresponds to 2)
      BUT you'll either have to press "LINK" before the command or have to select a"L.xxx" command
      from the "LIST"  - used to adress eg an additional  BLb 3500 in your living room where the main
      system is also installed.

5 = accepts NO commands for "the other side" (local components and main AV system)
       V.OPT 5 only commands for video sources like TV, V.MEM, ..
       A.OPT 5 only commands for audio sources like CD, RADIO, ...

6 = accepts all commands for audio and video ((local components and main AV system)
       local components have priority - if you have a BSd 9000 in your main room (A.OPT 0/1/2)
       and a BSd 4 (A.OPT 6)  in your secondary room
       - pressing CD will start the local CD of the BSd 4
       - pressing LIST > LINK >CD will get you the sound from your 9000

Hi Ralf, thanks for the information that you give me, are the same in my manual.

I know what I'm looking for, I want that when I turn on the BV turn on the BS too, and hear the sound by Pentas, connected to stereo.

I can not do this. I have tried many options, but I'm not able to do it .

As  many people suggested, it is easier connect the Pentas to BV.

Kind Regards

Orfeo

I'd suggest in the future not to write, in capital letters, such a general request as the thread subject.

How is your converter connected?

Which cable(s) do you use.

Maybe a powerlink cable would do the trick?

No - the onlay 'trick' with adding a PL cable (to the Aux cable) is, that you can start the playback (on the BV/speakers) of an audio source direct from the audio device.

You just have to insert e.g. a CD and push play on the player. No activating through remote control nescessary.

P.S. I never used the PL cable with my 1611 converter setups - no problems there.

Michael, you're right, but I thought it was simple.

I use a cable Masterlink from Bv to converter and a Data link cable from Beomaster (Aux Sochet) to converter.

So we read in the manual, I also asked confirm to Heavenly Sound that sold me the cables.

Today I have connect the Pentas to Bv (in this way BV op.2 BM op. 0 the Beolink7000 doesn't work),  I confirm that the audio quality is different.

It isn't bad, but it isn't neutral. I think that I'll connect the Pentas to Beomaster, but I hope somebody can help me.

Hi Stefan, with the you recommended set up using the Beo4 when I press DTV the BS and BV turn on, I listen the  audio BV properly, but I see nothing on TV, probably I wrong something.

The setup will work. It is important to set the BV to V.OPT 0. Try an additional Powerlibk cable between BM and 1611. It will detect the status of the audiosystem. After programming disconnect the 1611 and the BV from the mains. Reconnect some minutes later - 1st BV 2nd converter.

while option setting the whole system must be in stdby mode.

Sorry Stefan , bur where do I connect another power link cable on BM? The Power link socket are occupied by the Pentas .

Orfeo

You need a y splitter cable, check soundsheavenly (sponsor) to attach the two penta directly. Don't know if pentas can be daisychained (2 powerlink sockets on each speaker?)
