Removed Audiomaster from NL/ML converter. Need assistance with settings.

30 replies

I just sold my Beocenter 2 to make room for a Moment.

When I removed it from the netwok, I realize I need to configure the NL/ML Converter.

My setuo before removing the BC2 was the following:

Now when the BC2 is gone, I want to access the Radio source on the TV from my Link speakers, but nothing happens. (It plays over the BL11 when I press RADIO in the main room) 

I tried to change the NL/ML converter role to both A.master and AV.Master but no change. (It was V.Master when the BC2 was in the network.

Does it matter that the ML socket that use to be connected to the BC2 is empty (not connected to anything)?

Unplug everything from the mains for 10 minutes.

Then call the NL converter a slave.

with the audio master gone think you'll need a beolink converter in order to provide the voltage for the ml section to work

with no ml masters present this is required
Hi

The NL/ML convertor still needs to be the video master and the sources listed on the BeoVision 11 need to be set as video sources and not audio commands. You need a ML MasterLink product to be able supply the voltage out to the legacy ML speakers.

Hope this helps?

My dealer tells me that BL2000 will not be possible to use unless there are a ML Audiomaster present in the system.

But my BL3500 should work. It has SW 2.0. But its totally dead.

Do I need SW 2.1?

Iยดve set the NL/ML as V.Master. In the view "Sources visible on ML" the ML Audios Sources are greayed out, and the video sources are not. Is that what you mean?

His answer seems very logical to me.You want to access the TV's radio source from a link room.

If you are actually watching or listening to another source on your TV at the very moment, how would you start a second source on this TV. You cannot have access to two different sources at the same time coming from a TV if its not in standby.

(Don't forget its still ML, means one source at the same time around the bus. And your TV, with converter is only integrating with the ML). A NL bus in future will be different (NL TV, NL Moment, NL Essence,...) will have the possibility all to have different sources. Software to make this fully possible is promised in summer.

But you need a workaround. First you take a BEO4 who can give the command DTV2, A-DTV2...

Important! You can not assign the remote's radio button to the TV radio source anymore. Asign a new button for the TV's radio source for example DTV2 (it has to be a video source button). Next do the following in the converter: (Stay on V-master, No problem with a loose ML-connector.)

IR mapping: DTV2 > Beovision11 > Radio

Experience mapped to NL: Radio > check off the mark (very important!)

Sources visible on ML: DTV2 > Beovision11 > Radio

It should work now when you push the button DTV2 on your TV & BL 3500. Remember if changing sources on the TV itself, the Radio will also be lost in the link, (! Only 1 source can be activated at the same time on your BV !)

The BL2000, (old software for DTV2?) but you can make it part of the ML by pushing these commands: the Mute button if the BL3500 allready plays, or first Mute and then choose DTV2, if nothing is playing (or maybe A-DTV2 is also working, give it a try on the BL2000, I haven't tryed).

Now it should work, remember it takes some time before you hear your TV radio source. The NL source needs some more time to start in comparison to the ML audiomaster.

Thanks for the very comprehensive answer Chris!

I will have a go at it hopefully this evening.

I think part of the problem is that I have to remove the NL/ML Converter from the BV11 product integration, and add it back on again. Otherwise the NL/ML think there is still a BC2 in the setup.

Again, thanks for taking your time with such a elaborate answer.

It gives me hope ๐Ÿ™‚

NO, no problem with that convertor it all depends on adding as a video source. I can go back and forth without any disconnecting here.

EDIT: A-DTV2 works for me as a command for BL2000 and Passive.
