Excellent – it’s working!
First I tried the Beosound 4 in Opt.1 and the Beosound 5 set so it was not the Audio Master, and I connected a pair of my Beolabs direct to the Beosound 4. That worked fine.
I then connected the Beosystem 3 into the same ML network via a junction box, changed the Beosound 4 to Opt.0, and the Beosystem 3 remained in Opt.2. It all works fine, and I’m also impressed with the fact that my Beosound 4 display show the metadata for the digital music that is playing.
I’ve also figured out how to get 2-way communication between the Beosound 5 and my Beo6 remote. It only worked briefly before it ran the battery down, but it worked!
So, I cannot use the Beosound 5 for Spotify as that only works if it is an Audio Master, but that’s fine – I can live without that. I wouldn’t mind getting N.Radio working but I have still not figured out how to get the BS5 connected online, even though it is successfully connected into my home network (wired). I’ll figure it out eventually though.
As ever, thanks for all the invaluable help, Madskp.
