Access OPTIONS on Beomaster 7000

[lenhi]

I only have sound in two link rooms. The main room is silent. With the television, the Pentas here work just fine, but the Beomaster just sends the sound to two other link rooms, and I can’t mute, or change volume or program in those rooms. For that, I have to go back to the main room, where the Pentas are still silent. ChatGPT says I chould access OPTIONS on the Beo4, but there is no such item in the LIST. I also have Beolink 7000 and 1000.

What sort of TV do you have?  And what is the connection between TV and BM7000?  Check that the cables are all fully inserted.

Assuming that TV and BM7000 are correctly connected, and the Pentas are connected to the TV, then the TV should be in V.OPT 2 and the BM7000 in A.OPT 0.

Using the BL1000, in the main room, with the system at stand-by:

Press SOUND then 0 then STORE (to put the BM7000 in A.OPT 0)

Press PICTURE then 0 then STORE (to put the TV in V.OPT 2)   EDIT:  See below: Should read PICTURE 2 STORE

The TV is a Beovision 7. The DIN cables are in the Beomaster, not the TV. The Beomaster is connected to the Audio Aux Link in the box that the TV is connected to via an MCL contact. This box also has a Power Link contact. I do not know what to do with that.

I tried the Sound>0>STORE on the Blink 1000, Got a 0 (zero) on the display, and was happy for five seconds, until I tried turning it on agin, and now the BM does not respond to the commands at all. The red dot does not blink. Nothing. Tried turning it off and on by unplugging. No luck

I have a problem with my Beomaster 7000. When I do SOUND>0>STORE, it stops responding to the remote, just like it should. On SOUND>1>STORE, it comes back to responding, and the numerals come up on the display. Same thing for 3 and 4, but when I try to set SOUND>5>STORE the lights just blink, and the 5 numeral does not come up. I have had a fruitless session with ChatGPT, but no clear answer.

The original problem was that the link rooms did not respond, but just started playing from the Beomaster, and then, the Pentas in the main room stopped returning sound from the Beomaster, while still working with the Beovision 7, where I use the PC option with an Apple thingy. To get sound from the Pentas, I have to turn the Beovision on.

I tested the eye in one of the link rooms, and it responds to MUTE once, but then I have to press the front to turn it on and off. It seems to me that the redeyes have aged. Should I get new ones? Has anyone got any experience of this?

SO, problems:

The Pentas do not play unless the TV is on.

The link rooms respond once or twice, and then have to be maually turned on and off.

The SOUND then 5 then STORE does not show the numeral 5.

The upstairs BeoLab 3500 shows the time, responds briefly RADIO, the TV, then returns to time.
