Stan -

You remind of the other reason I ran out of ML names to assign to NL sources; I have a BV7-40 in the room with the BS9000, and my BL1's and a pair of BL6000's are connected to it for playing music. The video sources that were easily accessible from a Beo4 were taken up. B&O blew it when they added N.MUSIC and N.RADIO and re-used existing Beo4 codes for PHONO and ATAPE2 instead of figuring out how to retain them in the ecosystem just for situations like this.

If you go in the OneApp, go to your Balance and under Settings there is a tab "Get Beta Updates". Under there you can sign up to become a beta tester. This allows you to submit new ideas and issues to the software development team. There is a separate Mozart Beta test going on (with quite a bit of new features being added), and I also found out there is a separate one for "ASE and Halo remote" which is for all the "pre Mozart" Network Link products. I've been on the Mozart Beta for a year, and now just joined the ASE one, as I am requesting that they create the feture to have A6's to operate as Stereo pairs, which Mozart speakers like the Level can. When you sign up, B&O frequently does automatic software updates to your products and the OneApp on your phone. This might be a way to get your issues resolved.

As I've been fooling around with this issue, I've found that the Beolink Converter gets confused after a few days and I have to power cycle it. This could be due to the frequent software updates that come with being a Beta tester.

This has also caused me to spend more time with the Halo, and I'm finding the more I use it the more I like it. I have not been watching much TV, but I think I will start using my Avant 55 with the Halo to see what that is like.

I've never used the line in on the BLC. If you play with that, please report your progress. I have no idea if it is considered an ML or NL source.

You gotta get your BS9000 repaired! I have multiple shops in the US that I've had great experience with.

Thanks for your replies.

B&O did actually respond to my request and asked me for more information. When I went to look for this information, the line-in settings now appeared again in the App just like it used to be. Not sure what happened because I didn't change anything, and I don't recall updating the app, nor the Balance, but, whatever, it is all working again just like before. I did leave the house for a day and a 1/2 so who knows what the cat did while I was away :D.

@gburgess - About repairing my BS9000. What repair shops have you worked with in the US? I used to have B&O service center about 30 minutes away so I was spoiled. Unfortunately, he retired. B&O says to talk with the Cincinnati store as that is the closest to Chicago, but I found it easier to deal directly with the repair shop without the dealer sitting in between.

Also, I'm not excited about joining the beta program. There are enough quirks with the regular software. However, I am glad that you find it useful and worth your time. Ultimately, users like you should make the software better. I definitely don't want to do anything to confuse my BLC.  When I reboot it, I need to leave it unpowered for ~24+ hours or else it doesn't boot up correctly.

Stan - I was unable to send you a PM. Try sending one to me, gburgess.

gburgess - tried sending you a PM, it looked like to worked on my end.

Two shops I have terrific success with are Atlantic Systems in Boston. They are a B&O factory service center for decades. 781 826-8760. They did the impossible and repaired a VX5000 for me.

Benny Amina at Modular Electronics in Roswell GA. He is a true craftsman, former B&O factory, and repairs systems as well as very fine work like the Beolink 7000 remote and re-tipping B&O phono cartridges. 7704101122.
