Putting BeoCenter on timer in link room

11 replies

Hello,

I am looking to install my BeoCenter 2300 (type 2611) into the bedroom, masterlinked (using the Beolink converter) to my main system setup (Avant CTV+BeoSound 9000). So far so good.

I also wish to use my BC2300 as an alarm clock to wake me up with music for a perfect day ;-)

As I know that BC2300 doesn't have any timer function, could I instruct the timer function of the Avant (master) to wake up the BC2300 at a specific time? How could it work?

Thank you. /P 

Not sure a Video Master could trigger an Audio Slave to perform a 'wake up call' - but if it can be done, i'm sure someone on here knows!!

Anybody?!

Thanks Lee for bumping my post. ;-)

I have checked all the options on the Avant but no chance: all timer options accessible are for the sources hooked directly to the video master. No timer options for audio/video slave in link room.

I have also checked with a BV6 in a link room. The timer play for this TV is adjustable directly on the set.

So I guess I have to find a BeoSound that has a timer option, unless somebody has a good tip.

Cheers. 

Thanks AT... but I heard that timer programming with BeoLink5000/7000 would work only if you have a two-way BeoCenter 2300... From the type number of my set, I think it is only one-way.

I hope to be wrong again! ;-)

If you can confirm... 

Hi!

You can easely determin if your BC2300 is two-way or not. If it has an IR-eye on the bottom left side (below the glass door) it is an two-way unit.

You did say that you have a BeoSound 9000 in the main room?  Have you set it's timer and tried that yet?

 

I don't really hold out much hope for you, as the 2300 and 4000/Overture didn't have the capability of becoming 'link' systems.  But I will be interested to seew how this plays out.

My BeoCenter 2300 is definitely not 2-way.

Concerning the BeoSound 9000, its timer is controlled using the master, i.e. the Avant. Turning on the timer on BeoSound says: TV Operated. Turning on the timer for the radio on the Avant turns on the BeoSound.

My last hope is that I can program timer play using BeoLink 5000/7000 even if the BeoCenter is not 2-way. However, I don't a BL 5000/7000... yet.

Did somebody already tried it or knows if this would work?

If the 2300 is not two way, the 5000 cannot program it. Sorry!
