Beolab 2000 as a blue tooth speaker

[timornellas]

I own a Beolab 2000 that I would like to use as a blue tooth speaker. I have never used it as part of a masterlink system. It powers up but as I have no other masterlink devices connected to it, how can I establish if the unit is working correctly before buying the blue tooth adapter please? When powered up it shows two red lights either side of the display and pressing any of the function select buttons doesn’t change the display. I would be grateful for some advice please.

Here’s one:  https://www.quality-dream-audio.co.uk/beolink/15121730.html

I have no link to the company but have bought from them successfully in the past.

Great! Come back here if you need help setting it up. In the meantime, you may wish to look at this post (and the wider thread) about using the BL1611 converter:  https://forum.beoworld.org/forums/topic/beolab-3500-and-1611-converter-settings/page/4/#post-14017

You’ll be able to substitute your BL2000 for the BL3500 in the diagram, and with the right input cable will be able to select two different sources using a remote.  So you could have a Bluetooth receiver and a turntable, as an example.

Later in the same thread I tried my BL2000 with a BL1611 converter (I called it Test 4) and it worked well.
