Reply To: Connect Essence MKII with old IR eye?

Hi Guy

That sounds amazing.

However allow me a couple of questions…

1. Normally you have to activate the Aux on the BS1 manually:
‘The AUX socket is activated by pressing both arrows and CD simultaneously’.

The way you describe it, the BS1 autosenses a signal coming from the Essence MK2/PL (and starts in Aux-mode).
Have I understood that correctly?

2. You write that the Netradio (from the Essence) starts and can be controlled, when you push Radio on the Beo4.
How come the BS1 does not react to the Radio command and activates the built-in tuner there???

I would assume, that this will only be possible, if you use a BROne/bt (connected to the Essence), since there is no ir command going on.

3. Is your goal to use the BS1 as an only-speaker device with the Essence Mk2 as the source device (including whatever is beo-linked to it)?
That would imo be a great little setup!

P.S.

I guess, in that case the ir-eye would not be needed at all.
