Hi all, attempting to get some expensive equipment working again as a present to my father. He has a fairly comprehensive B & O house system here in New Zealand which has:
- Cost buckets to purchase and install new about 5 yrs ago
- Started humming like there was interference about 1 yr ago (at least)
- Stopped producing sound in any room other than lounge about a week ago
From what I can tell there is no longer an NZ agent so I'm trying to troubleshoot what I can.
The setup from what I can tell is:
|
Room |
Speakers |
ML/MCL Converter |
Controller |
Other |
|
Kitchen |
2 inset roof speakers |
Yes & NL/ML Converter |
IR Receiver (cover falling off) |
|
|
Lounge |
2 x
wall speakers |
? |
|
Beovision 11 |
|
Front Outside |
2 x square wall speakers |
Yes & NL/ML Converter |
IR Receiver |
|
|
Side Outside |
2 x square wall speakers |
Yes & NL/ML Converter |
IR Receiver |
|
|
Hallway |
2 inset roof speakers |
Yes & NL/ML Converter |
IR Receiver |
|
These all work with a Beo4 remote. I have previously had the Bank & Olufsen app working on my Android phone which still recognises:
- Kitchen NL/ML converter
- Beovision 11 TV
The house Ipad still recognises a "Beosound essence" as a sound output option but I do not know which physical part that is.
The Beovision 11 has Apple TV integrated. Ideally I would like to set this up for him to be able to play spotify on the TV, and have sound in other rooms. As easily as possible for a tech illiterate man. In particular I would like a way to see the volume levels of every room at once. He would quite consistently turn the speakers up to max, not hearing anything, then press play on his iPad.
Where do I start troublehooting this? I have labeled each ML/MCL converter and am trying to identify which controls which room.
