Beosound 5 and Beosound 3000 in other room

22 replies

Yes there are BeoLabs connected to the BS 3000. Also to the BV10. BV10 is in opt2, BS5 in opt 0. BS 3000 accepts only opt 0,1,2. But it is a 3000 with large clamper and the software version that does N.Music. At least it did when the BeoPort was connected to it which I sold get the BS5.

So how Can I use a BeoSound 5 with N.RADIO in one room and listen to N.RADIO on the BS3000 in the other? I can set the BS 5 to option 6 or make it not Audio Master, but then I can't use Spotify and AUX on it.

You will need to ML the rooms together. You will also have to pick your battles on what's most important to you because that is a limitation of not making the BS5 a master. You could potentially connect your Aux product to the BS3000 and pull the audio that way. That would really be your only work around for Spotify too unless you use an Apple TV on the BV10 and stream from an iproduct or grab a Playmaker and connect to the TV or BS3000 and again stream to it from a device. 

So you want to say a BS 3000 HAS to be audio master? You can't let the BS 5 be the AM and a BS 3000 slave?

This is true to pull the audio from the BS5. You can not distribute CD nor Radio commands to the BS5, only vice versa and assuming you renamed the sources to those from N.Radio and N. Music. So no you can not send CD and Radio to the BS5 from your BS3000. Maybe the better solution if you aren't looking to use CD and Radio on your BS3000 would be to get an active kit.

If your BS3000 supports N.MUSIC does not imply it supports A.OPT 5/6.

Ask your dealer for latest sw.

Btw - my system also works with two audiomasters as stated in several other threads.

BS5 and BS9000 both in A.OPT 0 and videomaster BV7 in V.OPT 2.

Thanks a lot, I'll ask my dealer for it.

My dealer and service center have both told me that my 3000 would need a chip upgrade as well as a software upgrade to add options 5 and 6.

Ok thanks for the information. Was that upgrade expensive? 

Chip upgrade is a sw update in older products.

I`m paying about 100.- in Euroland - chip and labour.

I have not had the upgrade done so not sure of cost.
