The issue is one of connectivity… always with everything B&O these days!

My beosystem 7000 is wired to Beolab 50’s. That all works on demand except… trying to control the Beolabs via the app. It has improved over the years but is still very much hit and miss. My dealer and B&O kept blaming my internet. Total rubbish! I have changed providers 3 times and with 3 different routers and it all made no difference. I always blamed their useless app. Over the years the app has improved and so has the connectivity. case closed. But it still fails at an unacceptable failure rate! Both wired and wireless, makes no difference! Last night it failed.

There is a Beoconnect Core wired to the Beolab 50’s with a USB connection. The Bluetooth continually fails. Even half way through playing a track! And it refuses to reconnect. Hours and hours spent trying to reconnect… no way! Come back tomorrow?…. it is now connected!

My dealer has been next to useless as has B&O themselves and now the dealer has closed.

The frustration level would be through the roof with any system giving this amount of grief but with such an expensive product it is completely unacceptable?

Oh.. forgot to mention the Beomemote one BT that keeps losing bluetooth connection with both the Beoconnect Core and a Beosound M5. It still says it is paired but it does nothing. It needs rebooting everytime!

1. I do not have and have less knowledge of the BL50, but if I understood it correct the Beoconnect Core and the Beosystem 7000 are at the same time connected, correct?
2. Wired connection working good, correct? Aswell the USB-core-BL50, as the PL Beomaster 7000 to BL50 connections?
3. B&0 app does not seem to work correctly, could you elaborate what you want to achieve and what goes wrong?
4. No Bluetooth connection what so ever. Could you tell something about the surroundings of the BL50, all devices in the neighbourhood, microwaves etc? Or sources outside your home?
5. Additional question: why use bluetooth? For streaming Music?
6. What type of music file formats are in general streamed to the BL50? MP3, Flac, DSD, DOP, PCM, or….?

please, presumably difficult and understandable, but try to be informative and not frustrated 😏

[carolpa]

if your setup doesn’t work as expected, for sure it can be extremely frustrating and you should ventilate it.

but this forum can often help to release some steam and solve (some of) the problems. So maybe an idea to explain more in detail your setup and the problems.

[carolpa]

And now something complete different:

I have 3 Mozart, 12 ASE (BLC included) products with several BLC integrated ML products (beosystem 7000, beosystem 4500, beocenter 2, beosound 3000, bevision 10-32) combined with beolabs (3 to 8000 and numbers in between).

And all are working and all are working together!

Not because I need it, but simple because it can. Foremost: simply because it works.

I too thought that, but found this in a BV11-40 manual:

Note that your Beo4 remote control
must be set to mode 1. For more
information, see the Beo4 online guide.
You cannot use a Beo4 remote control
without navigation button.

So perhaps some SW versions did not have the facility to chose remotes with/without navi button.

That seems peculiar………. how about the BR1: no navi button.
And the 46 and 55, for sure had the option to select the remote, when I had these Beovisions.

I think he should try to set the BV11 to non-navi button and the Beo4 to mode 1 (if these older Beo4 do have these settings) and try the Beo4 OR set the BV11 to Beoremote One and try the Beo4.
But keep the BV11 option to 1 or 2 (and thus the Beo4 settings in the BV11, if asked, also).

Note: does he have a Beovision 11 for sure?? Or does he have a Beovision 14??

 

[carolpa]

Suddenly I understood what you meant:

You are setting the BV11 options to 1, 2 or 4.

With 4 they are not dead but they should give a additional “LINK” command. The remotes should be set to do this.

You should go, to choose the right Beo4, to the second picture of my previous post.

Leave the option of the tv in option 1 or 2!

It was a full story to recover access to bv11:)

Strange, there seems to be another problem!
I used to haven 2 BV11 and I could control them with all 3 mentioned remotes. And that should be the normal behaviour!

What do you mean with “remotes became dead”?

So, the only remote to control bv11 is the joystick one?

In this case, did someone replace the beoremote one screen or do you advice to buy a new now?

I have seen here an offer for 177GBP just for the screen.

No, all Beo4, Beolink 1000 and Beoremote One can actually control the BV11.

It all depends on how the BV11 is setup. Look in the setup for the option to select the correct type of Beo4.

 

[carolpa]

what I would do to investigate your mishap:

disconnect the BS5 and Moment (or switch it off)
switch off the product integration of the BLC in the BV11 (delete the BLC)
(re)set the BLC as VMaster
be sure the BLC is not connected primary/secundary to another product then itself
on the BLC Configuration page: (re)set the sources to be linked
on the BLC IR mapping page: (re)set the IR commands (be sure there is no second source set as CD in the BS5 and/or Moment)
re-add the BLC as primary product linked to the BV11

try to start the BS9000 CD with the BV11 remote

note: BV11 option 2 – BS9000 option 0 (no speakers connected) as set/described

[carolpa]

or you use the IP address of the BLC.

Be sure your Mac or PC is connected to the same network as the BLC

Hi,

What kind of lights do you use, and how did you connect them to the Halo for control?

Kind regards,

Yann.

Hi Yann,

Since the introduction of Philips Hue I started to use Hue. Now years later about 90% of the lights around my house are from Hue!

Note: I also use Beoliving. Then one can gear up to the next level due to programming the functions of the Halo’s buttons.

 

I can sell you a Hue hub for a soft price (2 available) 🙂

Hi Guy

That sounds amazing.

However allow me a couple of questions…

1. Normally you have to activate the Aux on the BS1 manually:
‘The AUX socket is activated by pressing both arrows and CD simultaneously’.

The way you describe it, the BS1 autosenses a signal coming from the Essence MK2/PL (and starts in Aux-mode).
Have I understood that correctly?

……..

MM

Hello MM

To my knowledge the ATAPE command of a Beo4 should open the AUX of the BS1 also.

I just tested it with a BL1000 and it does work 😏

Interesting progress!

BS3000 > ML > BL2000

And it worked as I thought ML ought to work! If the BS3000 is on, turning on the BL2000 starts the sound and short press on . turning it off again stops the sound without shutting down the whole system. No Videomaster attached. So I tried:

BS3000 > ML (RJ45) distributor &> BL2000 &> BL Active

And again everything seemed to work as I’d hoped. Short press on . turns either on or off without affecting the others. Long press on any of the three turns everything off. If all three are on, and I short press . on the BS3000, only the BS3000 goes quiet but a CD continues playing through the BL2000 and Active. Incredible! And all without a Videomaster.

So I conclude for now that it’s the presence of the BLC1611 that causes the ‘everything turns off’ problem.

The BS3000 is a lovely thing but the lack of an (ideally datalinked) phono port and only one Aux port brings it’s own problems for my setup. Not quite perfection yet!

Still you did not prove anything about the T1611.
what you tested was/is common behavior of ML devices. No T1611, no issue…..that is normal!

In the issue original presented the T1611 was an essential necessity to integrate a BM6500 in a ML setup.  Then you will have another ballgame.

The T1611 was designed to integrate Non-ML audio with ML-BV – or – Non-ML BV with ML-audio.

Hi, My ENCORE stays always ON when I have my USB stick with Music attached. Does anyone recognize this and have a fix?

Would be much obliged,

thanks in advance,

I do recognize and the fix is switch off the BS5e manually.

@Carolpa

I considered asking that question too.
However, many people ask for the use of the Siri remote because of the Siri button and the option of getting the control center on the screen (for account switching and such)….so I did not ask.

Personally I’d use the Beoremote (and PUC) anyday.

MM

Correct
Siri, was/is the sole reason to prefer a ATV remote! But it is not mentioned in the post above.
But anyway I would also prefer the BR1 – PUC solution.

[carolpa]

Why use the apple 🍏 remote?

why not the Beoremote 1?

with the right PUC set, you will have full control

Hi,

my BS9000 is connected via Masterlink to an ML/NL converter.

The ML/NL converter sits in an adjacent area and has an IR-eye and 2x Belolab connected. I can play the BS9000 there and controlling with Beo 4.

I would like to add the BS9000 now as an additional source on the Theatre and play over the Theatre as well, controlling it with the BR1.

How to to that?

Thanks,

Erik

Simple answer: you can NOT add the BS9000 as an integrated source of the Theatre.

You can play the sources of the BS9000 through the Theatre though. Be sure the BLC and the Theatre are connected to the same network. Start f.e. a BS9000 CD. Choose JOIN on the Theatre BR1. The CD music played through the BLC (Beolink Converter NL/ML) should be heard  on the Theatre.

The Beoconnect Encore didn’t surface as a commercial product. This product looked like to be the promise to connect ML devices and the Mozart, NL products (Theatre, BL8, BL28, etc………).

[carolpa]

I was in doubt, but your reply made it clear. The BLC should be equipped with a IR eye, to be able to use the BLC the proposed way.

Maybe one of the the next work-arounds will work:

1. start the BS9000 with the B&o app; choose the BLC; start CD; then JOIN the BS2; then increase the volume on the BLC (all be done in the app)
2. depending on the type of the BS2; if it is an Beolink ASE type of product, set the BS9000 as primary linked product of the BS1 and check the boxes of the local sources added from the BS9000 (after you have set it as a primary connected product).

note: to check which type of BS2 you have, open the app, choose the BS2, then go to Setting, then do you see Configuration? If so.. do open the Configuration. Then you should see a black screen with different options. This confirms that you have an ASE B&o NL product.

Hi,

I have a Beosound 9000 which is connected to a pair of beolab 8000s, I have recently purchased a NL/ML Converted as i wanted to be able to controll it via the b&o app. I have just added a beosound 2 to the set up and it sounds great, however no matter what i try I still get a delay. the audio coming out of the 8000’s and beosound 2 doesn’t sync even with the lowest delay setting in sound sync. Any idea how to fix this? have tried chaning the delay with no luck. Thanks

The simplest solution in your case would be to connect the BL8000 to the BLC (NL/ML converter). Set the BLC as VMaster (do not connect speakers to the BS9000).
To use a remote and simple start the BLC you could add a BLC IR-eye to the mix.

[carolpa]

the plate screwed on the tablestand should be placed as show on the second drawing on p14.
for the rest is wall mounting simular as mounting on a tablestand.
