I can’t imagine that a BLI should be needed – to me it seems more a function that has not yet been implemented with the Mozart platform. Let us keep asking them to do so! MM

to my knowledge, only if a BLC can be integrated, direct access to BLC sources is possible with a remote (for example BV11, Beosound Core/35/Essence mkII ); no integration then no direct access with a remote (for example BV Harmony/Eclipse, Beosound Balance, Beolab 28).

Sounds like your system is working the same as mine. Perhaps the Theatre does not directly support the converter.

remark about joining sources connected to the BLC (Beolink NL/ML converter):

for example: start the BS3000 CD which is a linked source on the Beoplay A6. So the A6 is starting to reproduce the music of the CD. To  join in other devices one should expect that joining the A6 would do the trick. But not all devices will follow.

To overcome this phenomenon, change from the A6 to the BLC as active device in the home screen of the B&o app. Then click the “link to” icon on the app and join the other devices to the BLC.

Note: I do not know with certainty this will work for the Theatre also.

 

With Beoliving and Beoremote Halo, I expect direct access from the Theatre to a BLC connected Beosound CD should be possible (as with all Beolink and BeoControllink devices).

Hi, I have a BV11 in one room and a Beosound Core in the other. the BV 11 is setup to borrow Music, Radio from the Core. When I call “link-music” or “link-radio”, it starts, but I cannot change channel or go to the next track. I can only play/pause. Also from the Bang&Olufsen app, I can’t do these operations either, nor can I queue a new song or change radio station if I’m controlling the V1. I can control the Core, but then the speakers in the other room start too. I’ve just move from a Masterlink system to this Network link system and I do not yet know all the subtleties. Philippe

why do you start the sources with “link”.

presumably it will work normal if you start the Core sources on the BV11 without the “link”

apart from one (quite annoying) change! – I now MUST start radio from the app.

did you change your BLC settings (“IR Mapping”) accordantly?

[carolpa]

depending on your needs you got two options.

1. remove the Ouverture and go back to the first discussed setup (BLC A.Master) or
2. buy a PL to AUX cabel and connect the Essence to the AUX of the Ouverture

BV7 is set to V.OPTION = 2 (confirmed by the flashing standby led). Ouverture is set to A.OPTION = 0 (as shown in the BV7-55 manual). BLC is set to ML rôle: source center. In “Sources visible on ML” configuration page, only N.RADIO and N.MUSIC are available. N.RADIO is configured for Essence LineIn (sound from my PC) and N.MUSIC for Essence TuneIn. Feedback:

• A.MEM commands the Ouverture’s tape.
• N.RADIO: Ouverture’s phono
• N.MUSIC: Ouverture’s tape 2
• On Essence (through mobile application), DTV source selected: no sound.

did you check the N.Music, N.Radio boxes on the BLC “experienced mapped to NL” page? And did you set both accordantly on the “IR Mapping” page?

addition:
try the setting proposed, but on second thoughts I wouldn’t be surprised you will have introduced another conflict. Giving the N.Music command to the BV7, ML will instruct the Ouverture to start A.Tape2, whereas the BLC is instructed to start the Essences TuneIn.

[carolpa]

BV7 should be in option 2. Place it in stby; then press List / Stby on your Beo4; press list until you see V(ideo) Option in the display; then press 2. Notify if the BV7 has responded with a short off/on of the stby light.

adding the Ouverture changed the ball game completely. Now if you give a A.MEM (=A.Tape) command which should start? The BLC with TuneIn or the A.Tape of the Ouverture.
and the ML chain does already has a A.Master and a V.Master  so the BLC cannot be set to A.Master anymore! So the only option in your setup left is Source Center.  So program the BLC (set f.e. N.Music as TuneIn of your Essence)

but in truth I prefer WiSA because always on, rather than me looking each time I change listening position to see if the green light appears.

Always on can also wired be established, just a setup thing!

[carolpa]

a. what is the option set for the BV7? option 2?

b. there is no other Radio source (set) in ML and/or NL?

c. The BS5 is disconnected from the system?

d. does TuneIn already play on the Essence when you start Radio

[carolpa]

try, set the “connect to (primary)” to “Beolink Converter NL/ML”, but the more probable cause: did you set the “IR mapping”?

There is no need to discuss difference in preferences as it is individual. When it comes to exactness I believe the issue of sound separation becomes an issue, especially with music with many layers of tones (such as orchestral). It then becomes obvious that woofer’s quickness and their numbers play a central role. The more woofers you have (assuming that they are nicely separated using high quality cross-overs), the better different tones can be separated. That is probably why many people love their Pentas. It is also a fact that newer B&O speakers tend to have more woofers. So maybe the newer Beolabs can reproduce the sounds better.

In princple it is ALL individual preferences and individual preferences only.

Just for the simple reason, you were not present during recording, mixing and mastering of the recording, let alone for the reason that you not know what the artist intended.

What you hear is your interpretation of the artist intentions, you like it or you don’t.
That said the speakers are part of this.

Note that some music you’ll experience sound even better on cheaper speakers or older or newer or expensive speakers.

[carolpa]

advice:

In “Experience mapped to NL” one can rename the available sources. Especial if you have more BLC’s with different sources this can be helpful to identify f.e. one CD player from the other,

I renamed the sources connected to my BS9000 BLC as cd9000, radio9000 and aux9000, the sources connected to my BS7000 BLC as Beogram 6000, cd7000, tape7000…………..etc.

the only source that worked came from the Beosystem 4 – but I di get NETRADIO coming through the speaker.

this depends on the sources set on the BLC (“Experience mapped to NL”) and the “Connected to (primary)” set in the BLC

I’m at a loss to understand why as surely the BLP should activate if it senses a signal on the PL.

did you use a fully wired PL cable?

Frog wrote:

Yes, as above. There are more ML devices connected (too many to list!) no speakers are connected to either BLC ML/NLs. I’ve used the first BLC-ML/NL as a bridge between the two networks – and its working fine/.

I would make the next setup:
a. Disconnect the ML between the BLC and the BL Passive
b. Connect both with PL
c. Set this BLC as V.Master
d. Set for this BLC “Networklink”, “Connect to (primary)”: the other BLC
e. Be sure all the sources of the other BLC are set in “Experiece mapped to NL”
f. advice: add an IR-eye to the BLC (with the BL passive connected; IR-eye with the “JOIN” button)

to listen to your A.Master on the BLC with the BL Passive.
1. open B&o app
2. tap the BLC (with the BL Passive)
3. tap the black bar below with the name of this BLC
4. tap the three dots
5. select the/ a source of the A.Master

To test this setup, I have connected BL8000 to a BLC. Another BLC is ML connected to a BS3000. The sources CD, Radio and Aux are made available to NL. The BS3000 BLC is set “Connect to (primary)”.
As described I started the BS3000 CD to the other BLC.

addition: to be able to set the volumes of the BLC, go to “Settings”, “Beolink” and set the “BLC Network Link volume” in the App

Here are my answers: Question 1: which of the following is your setup a. BL Passive ML connected to BLC – NL devices – another BLC ML connected to your A.Master, or b. A.Master ML connected to BL Passive ML connected to BLC – NL devices? >>config A is the setup Question 2: which NL devices are connected? >> I have a Beosystem 4, the other NL/ML converter, a Beovision 11 Question 3: you want to move the BLC/BL Passive, does this room have a NL device? >> no, it’s a bathroom, so no other device is in the room.

So, I’m correct to state the system is like this:
BL Passive ML connected to a BLC – NL connected to a Beosystem 4, BV11 and another BLC with an A.Master ML connected. Right?
Are there more ML devices connected to the A.Master? or speakers connected?

I’m trying to connect a BLC to a NK/ML mixed network. to do this, I’ve connected a Beolink Passive (with speakers attached) to a BeoLink Converter NL/ML via Masterlink , the Beolink Converter NL/ML is in turn is connected to the NL network. I already have an audio master in the ML network. Connecting the Beolink passive to the ML network works fine – but as I want to move this to a different location, I have the converter in-between I’m at a loss how to configure the Beolink Converter NL/ML – A.Master shouldn’t work as I already have one, but A.Slave doesn’t allow me to select any sources on the NL (or ML) network with the Beolink Passive/

Question 1: which of the following is your setup
a. BL Passive ML connected to BLC – NL devices – another BLC ML connected to your A.Master, or
b. A.Master ML connected to BL Passive ML connected to BLC – NL devices?

Question 2: which NL devices are connected?

Question 3: you want to move the BLC/BL Passive, does this room have a NL device?

Regarding the Bang & Olufsen support (I asked for support), audio streaming of the TV program from the Beovision Harmony to Beosounds does not work! In reality, it works but unfortunately with a time lag = echo.

True, if you playing something on the LG, f.e. the Music app of LG and link to other B&0 devices.
But NOT true if you stream directly, f.e. DLNA sources or TuneIN, to the B&o Harmony using the B&o app. Then the sound will be in sync. (if the time delay on al devices are the same, as supposed).

who dared? My Edge is stable and no complaints, so a little hesitant…. Software 2.1.50871 – Release date 26th October 2022 Enhancements: – Improvements to network stability – AirPlay 2 improvements – Spotify Connect improvements – General bug fixes

my BS Shape has this version…… until now no issues.

note: the A6 and BS35 have the (beta) version since some time 2.1.50399 installed. Both work as supposed. The BS35 has a strange phenomenon: the display keeps displaying “visible as…” after a disconnection from the mains. This is solved by doing a factory reset and reinstall the settings.

addition: the M3 has v2.1.50872

What is the best way to connect the A6 with a hard line to AppleTV and SONY Bravia OLED? The WIFI connection constantly disconnects. Any work arounds?

if you want the sound of the Sony on the A6, I would say the best solution would be SPDIF/Toslink. Note: to eliminate the delay you have to change the setting of the A6.

question: how were the A6, the AppleTV and the Sony wifi connected together?
