Hi

I thank you ll for your support. I have an AV-7000-2 Surround processor and wil use it for Dolby Logic processing. Not the gretaest but will have to do. I will use the TV as the video switcher.

Now to control the non b&O: It remains the problem. I will either use Lintronics or ask B&O if they can provide me with new codes for the devices I am planning to control with the AV-7000 surround processor. I do like the Beosystem 3 but would have prefered a less dear aolution.

Any other suggestion will be appreciated, again thank you

Hi Lesly,

digging around the forum, I saw that maybe a DeToma X501 might help herey as well ? Even as they aren´t available anymore, there is a chance to get them in the web, e.g. currently one here in Germany at link

Here are some details I found at beoworld: /forum/general-discussion-and-questions/surround-sound-amplifiers-processors-for-use-with-bampo-speakers#post-1893601

Hi

People ... I have to scratch the AV-7000-2 .. The problem? It is only Pro=Logic and I am not sure how to get Pro Logic from Blu-Ray players and new cable boxes. And that is what I want...

THe question then .. How do I keep the speakers on (they go off I understand in the absence of signal, something that can happen when suround activity is low or inexistant)   once the Receiver is powered ... 5V Trigger? How? How do I inject this vooltage to the speakers? ... If the speakers (two Beolab 800o, two 6000 and some center channel Active Beolab 4000 (?) ... I wouldn't want them to be pumping up and down when the sonic acivity decreases or  increases... I suppose that by keeping them on all the time and using the Line level, they would not jump on and off? Am I correct?

The other sources CD, Radio and an Aux that could be a SONOS or soomething else on the Aux port of an attached B&O 9000.. I admit some problem to play the 9000 with the speakers ... maybe a bypass ? or Aux out to the prepro .. as for the other zones ? I don't know yet ...

Would such scheme work?

I was about to take the plunge on the Beossystem 3. I couldn't justify its steep price ($7700) when the same (video and sound) could be (likely) obtained with a less expensive solution.. What do you think/

IR will have to have Lintronic or IRtrans  ...

Thanks for the support and suggestions, I need them

Like this thanks to Peter Pan

THank you so very much. I understand the circuit. How do I inject this voltage to the speakers? The  AVR does have a trigger output (12 Volt) so this can definitely be used.

Now another question: Is it possible to have an B&O 9000 with no speaker connected to it to work as the main sources for a multi-room system.?I would have it in 5 rooms already with their MCL Active Links and remote sensor wired. Speakers were unhooked from the system but the cables and connectors remain.

I simply don't need the B&O 9000 as a control in the Living Room, just a source. I will use the AVR to control and switch between TV and Cd . In other word the 9000 would act as a transport for the Living Room system but as a Master controller for the rest of the house .. Is that possible?I believe it should; I don't (yet?) know how.

Thanks in advance

You will have to build your cable, check

Danish: Lydretning=sound direction, højre=right, venstre=left, kanal=chanel

Ok

I understand the Problem with the speakers turning off if there is no signal and that make sense. Now:

if I use a trigger voltage, the application of said voltage to tpin 4 should turn the speakers on and keep them on as long as the voltage (5V DC) is applied. Do have I this right?

When the speaker are kept ON by the application of the trigger voltage do they make a "popping" sound when they are turned on? I suppose one could turn the speakers on , then turn the receiver on this way the speaker is not presented with a signal on it turn-on ..

What do youthink?

I would have a scheme that would apply the trigger voltage to ALL speakers before the Processor goes on, then apply a delay and turn the receiver/processor on.

Finally Will the Beosound 9000 work as a Master for the rest of the house if there i NO speaker attached to it.. Of course the Masterlink would be conected and its output would be conected to the Pre DAC but NOspeakers wold be connected to the B&O ... Wil it work or what should I do to make it work.

I am creating an independent system in the Living Room. It will have the BO 9000 as a CD transport and be controlled by the beo 4 ...Is this possible? let me know

Thanks in advance

Forget the BS3 and save your money, and buy a nice high end Onkyo.   Then, use something like SONOS for multi-room audio.  The BS3 is an outdated dinasour.  Sounds like you are trying to build a frankensystem.

Hi

I am set on making this work. One last question: If I use the Line input on the Beolab Actives, Can I use Pin #4 on the Powerlink to turn the speaker on?

I would think that the line input is in parallel with the Powerlink Jack. Am I correct? That would make it easieras I already have several long audiophiles cables. It would be easier to use some long cables I already have.

Thanks
