Hi.

I tried to connect it via fully wired powerlink cable, but still red light on Beolink Passive. Any idea whats wrong?

 

Best regards

As far as I can see in the servicemanual for the BS4 it should have the nessecary signals to wake up the BL Passive, although I can’t verify it to be fully implemented.

Maybe try with another cable if you have one. I know I have what should be a fully wire PL cable, but it is missing the connection on pin 1 that is used to wake the BL Passive.

If you have a 7 pin Aux cable that can also be used for testing it

the passive is green when conecting power, then red. i did tried with fully wire powerlink from beosound4,beocenter9300and beosound core. it just dont start. is there a fuse inside thats easy to access?
There are a couple of fuses inside it according to the diagrams in the servicemanual. Wheether or not they are easy to acces I don't know. I would still suggest trying another cable just to be sure that the fault is not there.
