    Hi All

    I have a Beosound 5 with Beomaster 5 ( with new life with SSD and Airplay ) that I would like to have A.AUX to work with a 1611 Beolink converter. I have connected everything with a 3.5 mm jack from my computer to AUDIO AUX LINE on 1611 as recommended in these forums, but no sound and I have no clue if the 1611 is turned on or if the Masterlink cable is working. I also tried to connect my Beolab 8000 to the 1611 converter but nothing happens.

    Is there a way to verify that the 1611 is working and is there a setting I need to set in order to make it work ? And is there a manual out there for the 1611 ?

    Regards Lars

    Hi and welcome to Beoworld!

    Firstly, the only connection between the BM5 and the BL1611 should be a masterlink cable.ย  You should not connect anything to the BL1611’s Powerlink socket.ย  Your speakers should remainย  connected to your BM5.

    Hopefully your 3.5mm to DIN cable is supplying audio to DIN pins 3 and 5.

    Your BS5 should be in A.OPT 2, so that it will accept Video sources.ย  I think that this is somewhere in the BS5โ€™s settings menu – you need to change the โ€˜AMโ€™ (Audiomaster) setting to Option 2.

    You should then be able to select your PC as an input by choosing any Video option on the remote (eg TV, V.MEM, DVD) – you cannot select using A.AUX.

    Hello

    You can not use the A.AUX command with the input on the 1611. The A.AUX input is as far as I know for the USB analog audio input converter.

    However Any video command like TV, DVD, V.MEM, V.Tape etc. will open up the audio input from the AAL connector on the 1611 converter provided that correct wired cable is used.

    Hope this helps or else feel free to ask again

    I use Masterlink between 1611 and BM5 ( with AM set to 2 ) and if I choose TV on Beo4 the BS5 displays A.AUX but still no sound. I have seen some BS5 saying TV on the display so I still think I am doing it wrong. I maybe thought I needed a 7 pin cable to the Aux in line but seems like thats not the case. Is there anyway to test the 1611 ( I dont even know if it is ON ) and the Masterlink cable just to verify ?

    I am getting closer ๐Ÿ™‚ Suddenly the BS5 shows TV on the display but still no sound but noise in the speaker if I play with the 3.5 mm jack input to my ย computer. So maybe its a defect AUX to 3.5 mm jack cable ? or you cannot use input from a computer ?

    This cable is on the way to me instead of the 3.5 mm jack:

    Check that the volume output of your PC is set at max. and maybe check the output with separate headphones also.

    Also, your 3.5mm to DIN lead could be an input at the (wrong) 3.5mm end.ย  You need one that sends the 3.5mm signal to DIN pins 3 and 5 (not 1 and 4).

    I want to check posting images, hence here is a schematic from PeterPan showing the connection that you require into the BL1611’s AAL socket:

    Thanks all, its now working even with Beoremote One, a new Audio cable did the trick ๐Ÿ™‚ ย Now I am just gonna find out how to control my Samsung TV menu system with a Beoremote One if possible maybe using PUC, sound is working through HDMI eARC to 1611 controlled by the Samsung remote with a HDMI eARC audio extractor with volume control.
