Software Update Beolab 3500 - Which Part number?
10 replies
version 2.1 changed the display names to n.music/n.radio
you can do this by replacing microcomputer PCB36, part no.: 8006009
or now there is sw 3.3 which allows it to support the a.aux command and ml gateway compatible!
you have to Exchange the uP module PCB36, part no: 8002944.
i pressume it will be better to go with the later one i believe its compatible as long as your beolab 3500 has an ML socket.

Can someone (Keith saunders perhaps) check this part number please. If it is the case, then his guide should be updated.
Btw cost for the 8006009 is now apx £43 inc vat.
You may wish to look at the FAQ

Hi Keith
Yes, that is the guide, and very useful it is too - thank you.
My question was in reference to the previous post - has the sw version changed to 3.3 with this latest pcb, and is it applicable for all versions of the beolab 3500, or just the later ones?
version 2.1 changed the display names to n.music/n.radio

The latest version of Beolab 3500 software is 3.33
When you upgrade a Beolab 3500 Mark 1 to version 2.1 as defined in the FAQ it changes the display as follows:-
A.TAPE -> A.MEM
A.TAPE2 -> N.MUSIC
V.TAPE -> V.MEM
V.TAPE2 -> DVD2
CDV -> DVD
PHONO -> N.RADIO
SAT -> DTV
The part number for updating the software by replacing the micro processor PCB36 to 2.1 is 8006009
You could update your Beolab 3500 to version 3.33 by using part number 8002944 but would provide no benefit unless your unit was a Mark II version and you plan to use wireless.
Updates after 2.1 to 3.33 provide Master Link Gateway compatible and A.AUX command is now possible. Version 3.1 provided wireless compatibility.

Thank you for your reply and explanation Keith.
Does any of this apply to the beolab 5000 panels as well?
The short answer is NO
The Beolab 5000 are powerlink speakers and the Beolab 3500 is a link room speaker meaning it uses a Masterlink connection.

Greetings all, so just to clarify. Notice Louis mentioned you can update your earlier BL3500 as long as it has ML.
Then Keith mentioned that you can update your BL3500 to SW3.33 but would provide no bebfit unliess your unit was a Mk2 version and you plan to use wireless. Did you say an Mk2 version because of the ML socket or is there more to it then that?
Seeing that I have a older BL3500 yet it has both MCL and ML sockets would I get the full benefit of going to SW3.1 or 3.33?
Regards,
Hiller
