Have you set the options properly - TV option 2 and 7000 option 0? Are the Pentas set to Video? Have you set the front switches to L and R rather than auto? Try unplugging the Powerlink cable...

Thanks Peter. Options are correct. I didn't bother to check the Pentas today. Will do that tomorrow. However, connecting the Pentas directly to the Beomaster didn't change much except for that the display information on the Pentas got lost. What if nothing of the above works?

I've tried all of the above and nothing seems to work... I hope that it's not the Beomaster that's defective. I do not think so, however. Maybe the converter?

It works now. Don't ask me why. Basically, I didn't change anything except for playing around without any success and then returning to the initial setup. So everything is now the same as when I started except for one difference: it works now...

The Beocord is a great cassette deck by the way by the way. Never would have thought that it is that good. Haven't heard anything about it. Maybe due to it being an old cassette deck and nobody listening to cassettes any longer. But it's really distorting very little. and the Beogram with MMC 2 is also great. Happy that it works now. If I now manage to get two-way with the Beolink 7000; I'm done. But I guess I'll need software 1.3 for the Beomaster in order to achieve that...

Thanks again!

I used the BL7000 in a link room as this would seem to be the main purpose - like having the whole system in front of you. The bit I really miss!

But is there a opportunity to get two-way information on the Beolink 7000 when the Beosystem 7000 is connected to the Avant? I think I've heard something like that you can get two-way for the Beosystem, whereas the Avant is still working one-way. Is that correct and how can it be achieved?

Yes - you need the software , which confusingly is a chip! I had mine updated but that was a good few years ago. Ask your dealer but I am not sure if it is still available.

😠 It took me like two hours to set everything up (tricky environment) just to discover that it doesn't work with converter 1610. So I had to disassembel and reassemble everything to use converter 1611, which cost me 90 Euros. Then I discovered that it again didn't work as it was supposed to. So another two hours of testing plugging and unplugging of cables, pushing switches to different positions and meanwhile unintentionally breaking a lamp later, everything works as it should - until I read your comment... So I guess this means another two hours of disassembling and reassembling... Fortunately, I have a shop nearby that will be able to make the update... Life is hard 😉 However, I won't forget the various configurations. Sometimes you learn the hard way.

As far as I remember the BSys7000 was born 2-way.

But if you connect it to the Avant - Option V2/A0 - you won't be able to use the 2-way functionallity in that room.

As Peter wrote - that would work very well from a linkroom.

P.S. I still use that with a MCL-Speakers kit via Beolink 5000 in the kitchen from my 4500 Audiomaster in the mainroom.
