Speakerroms not responding

[lenhi]

When I press e.g. radio on my remote, the little square with the redeyes respond, but return to standbymode (two red lights) after three seconds, and the Beomaster 7000 does not react. at all. When I press radio in the main room, all three speakerroms are turned on. I had this problem before, had the capacitors changed in the Beomaster, and then it worked, but now it doesn’t. I know I had a thread about this back in 22, but can’t find it now.

By any chance have you been reconnecting the speaker plugs in the main room recently?

Just asking as it it very important the the speaker 2 plugs that go to the link rooms are connected correctly (left and right).

Thanks!

…and just like that, the syst3m works, though I have done this before, without this result. I think it might have to do with the sequence the plugs are inserted. The Beolab 3500 upstairs is still being obstinate, though; it answers “Radio”, and reacts to volume change on the screen, but makes no sound.

I might have to ask if you do this with the system powered on? Best practice is to power down both the Main room system and the link rooms that has a local power lead to avoid mal functioning.

Sounds like the data connection to the main system is missing. The older MCL compatible BL3500’s will react to source commands and show the source name even though they are not connected at all.

Maybe try to power down the whole system and first turn on the main room system, and then the Beolab 3500

Try to select a source on the main system first and then the Beolab 3500, just to see if at least the sound gets through. If not try the remote sequence Menu + 0 + 4. + GO (on a BEO4 remote). THis will open the sound input. If you have a Beolink 1000 the sequence is Menu + 0 + 4 +Play.

If you have any junction boxes where the cable is spliced check if the cables are firmly connected (do this with the system powered off in both main and link rooms)

Hope this is helpfull
