I used the “monitor” feature of the BLI and found that the correct command to use for the center button is “CONTROL”. The Global Cache IP2IR is a pretty useful device. I have another one that I use in another room to be able to change the inputs of a TV connected to a Beosystem 4 to take advantage of 4K.

I was curious and made a little setup myself.
What I mis above is the source you call first on the BLC before pressing the  “button”.

[carolpa]

Did you try to use LIGHT instead of CONTROL?

of course you have to use the light command on the remote…. but just to see what happens

I think it’s the same battery at the BC9500.  I use these which fit perfectly as they have the correct pin spacing:  https://uk.farnell.com/renata/cr2450-nfh-lf/cell-lithium-button-2pin-3v/dp/1319731

As you can see both pins solder on the same side (other side from the physical battery).

EDIT:  After replacing the battery you may need to adjust the FM/AM offset in Test Mode as explained on page 7-3 of the service manual. (That’s assuming you have FM/AM stations in your area with known frequencies)

Thx for the link. I ordered one.
The Beomaster had an ordinary  CR2450 Cell Battery cable soldered to the PCB

BLC-BV10: 1st BLC (ML Role: A-Master) device used to connect the Beosound Moment with BV10.
BLC-Bs6: 2nd BLC added to get the Beosystem 6500 connected to the ML-network via Beolink 1611.
BLC-BS9: 3rd BLC (ML Role: A-Slave) to connect the Beosound 9000 to avoid having two A-Masters.
BLC-BL3: 4th BLC (ML Role: A-Slave) to be used for the BL3500.

Guy and Madskp are right.
the essence is your misinterpretation of the “A.Master” and “A.Slave” setting of a BLC.

On the NL-side there are NO differenses between devices, so all devices are equal, no masters no slaves.
On ML side there, you must have or a V.Master, A.Master or both.
That said, the master and slave settings for the BLC´s are for the ML connected devices of THAT BLC.

So setting a BV10 as V.Master on one BLC doesn’t mean your complete system (NL & ML) has a V.Master. It means de ML string connected to that BLC sees the BLC acts as V.Master in that ML string.

Thus to have the BL3500 working correctly you should follow up one of the proposed solutions.

I’ve only carried out the procedure on a couple of BC9500s, but no-one else has replied.

For me, a new battery solved the problem – I think I had to carry out the COdE procedure again after battery replacement, but there have been no further problems since with either system.

In my experience, if you keep the system connected to mains power the problem may not re-occur – my mother-in-law’s system failed early because she switched it off at the wall every night.  However, if the battery is flat then it may be close to leaking, hence worth replacing.

I’m currently debating changing the battery in a BS3000 that I have taken apart for door/CD belt changes – will probably do so to give it a longer lifespan.

thx

Is the battery on the “minus” side also soldered as the plus side is? It looks like the battery is stuck on the PCB.  I opened “the box” also on the opposite side, but it was unclear to me where it was soldered on the PCB (maybe I shoud re-examine it), any help would be appreciated.

How about MOTS?

with large collections it will take a long time to complete!

so I would first switch of MOTS (if applicable) and see what happens.

And changes in the music collection or every restart interrupt the completion of MOTS.

Did a reset on the Beosystem 7000. Nothing has changed.

There is one difference though. The BLC’s are primary linked to BS Core’s (Shape’s)

Hi,

I have  Beosound 9000 connected to a BeoVision 11 via an NL/ML converter, all in the same room. Only the TV has speakers. I can select link->CD on the TV and play CDs and use the Beoremote remote to control the 9000.

Question is: with the TV off, and I start CD playback from the 9000 directly (via a button), can I have the TV turn on to provide the speakers? Seems like this should work.

Not possible to my knowledge!
And somehow understandable. Because in principle the ML side doesn’t know which “Master” it should start and on the NL-side there is no “Master”.
Presumably this could be overcome by reprogramming the BLC. Though the last BLC update date published is from December 2015!  So I would say low/no chance!

Still I checked this morning. Pushing a start CD button didn’t result in playback of this cd on the BS Shape (the BS9000 BLC is primary linked).

I actually had a technician from B&O do the setup. Really expensive, and he had did not connect the speakers to the BV.

The cable from the BL3500 upstairs is spliced with the Masterlink that goes into the T1611. The other end of that Masterlink goes in the BV7.

I was wrong about the other two linkrooms downstairs; the kitchen and bedroom are spliced together and go in the MCL sockets in the Beomaster. So not speaker 2.

I am not sure what you mean by “Data en Powerlink”.

Powerlink: is the connection from Audio or Vidiomasters to send audio signals (left and right in the same cable) with (opptional) communication info to the amplifiers of the active B&o speakers; Beolab (8pin plugs). The way you connected your Penta’s to the BV7.
Datalink: is the connection including communication, between sources such as  CD players, record players, etc and Beomasters/Beosound; but also direct connection between Beomaster/Beosound and Beovision (7pin plugs). The way the Beogram 7000 or Beogram CD 7000 is connected to a Beomaster 7000 for example.

The MCL socket should be the same as the Speaker 2 connections of the Beomaster 7000. Could you indicate were they are connected?

The T1611 is also connected to your BM7000 I presume? How is it connected?

There are no speakers connected to your Beomaster 7000 (just to be sure)?

I am sure there are more threads that you can find by hard googling :-). Using a tag editor can help you out. Album cover images should not be too large.

Let us know your progress!

Yes, Beolink room 1 upstairs: BL3500 Masterlink is parallel connected to the BV7 via the T1611.

Downstairs kitchen: Beovox Cona and Beovox CX50 with MCL2A-IR.

Downstairs bedroom: Beolab 4500, with MCL2A-IR.

Those two units are also connected to the T1611 in a splice box.

In the bedroom, I alsop have a light control that does not respond to the remote, but only to touch.

At the moment, I have the loudspeaker DIN-cables connected to the PowerLink sockets on the BV7, and the sound from the BV7 is good. On the right side of the BV7 (seen from behind) there is a block of six DIN sockets. Two of those, the topmost right and the bottom right, are for speakers, but I am not sure how to use those.

Let me just clarify that the Pentas are the only loudspeakers in the living room; there is no center speaker on the BV7.

.

How are the MCL connected to the T1611?  If you try to connect MCL directly to ML then for sure you will end up in problems.
The T1611 is designed to connect non-ML Audio or Videomasters to a ML Video or Audiomaster. So in your setup to connect a BM7000 (non ML Audiomaster) to the BV7 (ML Videomaster).

To my knowledge your set up should be:

BV7 – ML connected to T1611 – Data en Powerlink connected to your BM7000
BL3500 is parallel ML connected to the BV7
Both MCL2A’s are parallel connected to speaker 2 of your BM7000

v. 7.0.1 repairs some of the problems

But Apple doesn’t send an update notice (until now), so without first deleting the app (then setting my iPhone off/on) and reinstalling the app, the original v 7.0.0 was active!

Note: the DLNA music server was instantaniously found.

Edit: I still encouter problems with playing complete albums! The app now shows on a regular base: not abble to add to playlist for non Mozart devices.

[carolpa]

Your system:

Living: BV7 (Beolab’s connected to the BV7)  – MasterLink connected to a T1611 (the black box) – Powerlink and Datalink (TV-Aux) connected to your BM7000? correct

Beolink room 1: BL3500 Masterlink parallel connected to the BV7? correct?

Beolink room 2: ????? what is connected here and how is it connected?

Please elaborate……

It also was necessary to re-add my Home Media server to all IOS devices after the v7.0.0 “update”.
Not sure why there is so little effort made regarding DNLA integration. Happy to hear of any solutions found for any of the above
Ah, interesting I’ve been fighting with the B&O App for a few days now trying to get it to pick up my MinimServer which worked in the past when I was using Android phone but switched to the Apple echo system, but never came around to config the home server options until now.

So are B&O ditching DLNA support in general or is it just early version bugs that we’re seeing with v7.0.0 of the app?

the trick to get Minimserver back on track is:

1. delete the server (if present)
2. restart the B&o app
3. Now Tidal is shown instead; choose the settings icon
4. choose HomeMedia
5. Add new
6. then restart Minimserver (on another device) and Minimserver will show up
7. select the + to add Minimserver

And you will notice that the B&o app is missing some features

So, no possibility to start a whole album…..

No, way to add something to a que…….

v 7.0.0

[carolpa]

Highlights:

Beovision: AV9000 – superb picture at the time and  a amazing sound wrapped up in the ultimate design

Beosound: I love the design of the 90th such as the Beosystem 4500 and 6500. The sound is great and I learned a lot about the multiroom capabilities with these systems.

the most iconic B&o music design for me is the Beosound Shape though.

Beolab: the 5’s

Multiroom: Netlink – no masters no slaves. All can be extended and mixed….. even old and new

edit:

I almost forgot – the Beogram 4000 family timelessly designed

Hello, I just received from support Bang&Olufsen that this is not possible. The tablestand and wallbracket seem to be different.

greetz, Jos

They look almost the same, but the weight difference in enormously because you need some contra weight to balance the BS5 standing free.
the wallbracket is made of plastic, the table stand of metal.

1. BV7 and BM7000 in same room no speakers connected to BM7000. Then BV7 in option 2; BM7000 in option 0.

connection: BV7  – ML connection to T1611 – DL & PL connection to BM7000

2. BV7 and BM7000 in two rooms Beolabs connected to the BM7000

Both set to option 2

connection: BV7  – ML connection to T1611 – DL connection to BM7000

make connections without any B&O connected to the mains, then connect everything to the mains but be sure the T1611 must be done as the last
