Hi Guy,

I also just got a BeoLink PC2 EU type 1670

but I do not have the Installation-CD,.

Do you know where I could get or download one, I already searched the offical B&O Site, but I couldn't find the CD. Perhaps I wasn't searching for the right thing.

Could you gide me through this jungle?

sincerly

gerard

Edit: I want to use it to connect a BeoLab 2000 to my PC

Here's the link - it's the BeoPort software you need and it is easy to download - follow the instructions carefully and DO NOT connect the PC2 to the computer until instructed to on the screen.  The software also checks the firmware status of the PC2 and updates appropriately.

Hi Guy

I need your help because I can't get it to run.

What I have : BeoLink PC2 Type 1670, VISTA 32

What I did: Installed BeoPort vers. 5.04.00.0031, installation went fine, I connected the USB when asked for, installation continued, at the end when configuring BeoPort there was an error message. I could only say OK and now BeoPort is running fine.

1. I want to test if my PC2 is working, as there is no Main switch , no LED or display I can't even tell that it is switched on. How may I know?

Edit: When I use the Headphone jack I hear the music, I may change volume in Beoport, when switching off BeoPort Music stops playing on the headphone.

1a. So I suppose my PC2 is working?

2. As I first clicked on N.Music in BeoPort he immediately started scanning all my discs. My Music is only on one disc, so now I how hundreds of files listed in N.Music which I don't even want to be listed. Once everything would be working I will have to delete the entire list and do a new scan of my Music folder on the right disc.

3. As BeoPort found music I started testing by playing N.Music and BeoPort plays the Beatles as they are listed first.

4. My BL 2000 is connected to the PC2 by a masterlink-cable and I have a red and a yellow led lighting on the Labs, What must I do to get the sound from the PC2 to my BL2000?

Edit: after downloading the BL2000_setup_eng.pdf I see that the left Led which is yellow on my BL2000 should be the "Standby Led" in red or green but it is yellow. The second led on the right side which is red on my BL2000 is not mentioned in the setup guide.

4a. BeoPort Config is set to Option 6, MainPC Yes, PlayTimer Off, Mix Sound Off, Default source PC, Firmware seems to be up to date as it does not find any new firmware.

I'm stuck with my BeoLab2000

Hi Gerald,

Q1:  From your further investigation it sounds like your BeoPort is working fine - I agree that an LED or something would be useful!  I haven't tried the headphone socket on mine as it is connected to a Passive by PowerLink.

Q2:  Yes it's a bit of a pain to set up the correct music folders but as you said simply delete all and do a more focussed scan later.

Q3:  Sounds fine - of course you can set up play lists with the coloured buttons if you want to control without looking at the computer screen.

Q4:  Not sure about the BL2000 lights - I don't have one at the moment.  Let's assume it is working OK.

Q4a:  I think that the BeoPort should be in Option 2 - see here

... and I just had a look at the BeoPort (rather than PC2) instructions on the B&O site, and these confirm that Option 2 is correct, because you want to 'use your PC as a main room product'.  In other words, the BeoPort becomes your 'audio master'.

🤩YOU ARE GREAT 🤩

BeoPort Option set to 2

BL2000 Option set to 4

and there we are BL2000 working as PC-Speakers.

Monday I will dig deaper in the Config of Beoport.

Do you know if there is an easy way to delete all listed Tracks and Albums in BeoPort?

That's great news!  I will have a play around with the Config tomorrow (whilst my wife is at Ikea!) and see if there is an easy way to delete Tracks and Albums.  Don't forget that you also have N.RADIO and lots of stations to listen to!

Hi Gerard,

I had a look at this earlier today as promised.  In short, I cannot find an easy way to delete all listed Tracks and Albums - unless you uninstall and reinstall BeoPort totally, and I wouldn't do that now that it is working!

I experimented and found that the quickest way is to list the N.MUSIC content by 'Titles' - press tab with the content showing in the screen on the left.  Then you are faced with a list of an alphabetical list of folders which you can right click and 'Remove'.  Being alphabetical, there are only 26 plus the numbers so it doesn't take long!

Perhaps someone else on the forum will have a better solution?  There could be a method involving the Windows Registry. 

When it comes to adding new content, rather than scanning again (which is difficult to filter), simply drag music folders, or individual tracks, from windows explorer straight onto the BeoPort N.MUSIC content page - this method works well.

We are both relatively new to BeoPort/PC2 so hopefully someone else will have suggestions....?
