No that doesn’t help. The Beoconverter NL/ML I have just purchased new. It came sealed in it’s box. It has had no previous owner. However I have reset it and started again. All to no avail! There is no 7000 option. But regardless of this I have tried every conceivable combination of setup options and the best I can do is controlling all the 7000 functions except volume. There is none! The display on my Beolink 7000 shows speakers muted but if I “unmute” them with I/R it does not work. So yes it all works except all I hear is silence!

okay, so you want to control the Beomaster 7000 on the NL side to start the system solemnly on the ML side. This was/is not the function of a Beolink NL/ML converter (BLC).

You could disconnect the Beolabs from the Beomaster 7000. Set the BLC as VMaster. Connect the BL to the BLC.
Then try to start the Beosystem 7000 sources on the BLC with the Halo or B&o app.

Does the BLC start the Beosystem 7000 source with music reproduced on the BLC connected BL?

Hej Carolpa. Thanks for the advice. Here are the issues… There is no Beosystem 7000 as an option in “experienced mapped”. I have selected Beosound 9000 as the nearest option. Everything is being controlled through the Halo but there is no sound. The powerlink is not active from the 7000. On the app settings page I have to select “with speakers” or it will not even control. The only other option is ML Audiomaster. I am wondering if the software needs to be updated on the BC? It is running 1.4.3.19611 and I know there is an update but updates are no longer supported. Any ideas?

In “expierenced mapped” there is no dropdown to chose a product. If you see BS9000 it appears to be a setting of the previous owner. Best way is to factory reset the Beolink NL/ML converter (BLC).

To factory setup the BLC see below: the button sit aside the small light in the bottum of the hole.

After resetting the BLC, set it up as previous described.

All I am trying to do is control the 7000 via NL so I can use the Halo with it. But I must maintain the I/R control alongside. I am almost there. I just need to sort out speaker connections. I would prefer not to use the powerlink on the BC and just keep the powerlink on the 7000. Is this possible?

set the Beolink NL/ML converter (BLC) to V.Master
set the “experience mapped”, check the boxes of the Beosystem 7000 so

PL connect the BL to the Beosystem 7000
Set the option of the Beomaster 7000 to 1 or 2

add the BLC and the Halo to the B&o app
add the BLC as product to be  controlled by the Halo

Still I have no clue what you want to achieve

Until now you only stated you want to connect/have connected a BS7000 to a BLC and you have BL50 connected to the BLC or the BS7000 (note: as Guy discribed do not connect the BL50 to both at the same time). So what is the advantage of a BLC in your setup?

I am trying to connect a Beolink Converter NL/ML to a Beosystem 7000. I have programmed the converter and then tried it out on a Beocentre 2 connected via ML. It worked just fine. But I need a converter to connect to the 7000 system? ML-DL? I had a 1614 converter that I know works just fine historically but this would not convert these signals. So I have just purchased a 1611 as this is the required converter. Still no joy! I have swapped out power leads and datalink leads and powerlink leads. I have tried putting the 7000 into every mode. Still nothing! ‘Anyone have any ideas?

Am I correct: the NL system-BLC-BC2 (ML connected) does work correctly?
Though NL system-BLC-T1611-BS7000 doesn’t work? Were all devices unplugged from the mains when connecting the T1611? Did you connect every device to the mains and let the device completely startup, before you plugged the mains to the T1611?

How is the BLC set (AMaster/VMaster/ASlave….)? Can you describe your complete setup?

FYI: I have a Beosystem 7000 DL and PL connected to a T1611, which is ML connected to a BLC. The BLC is setup as ASlave (because the Beosystem the only “ML device” (through the T1611) connected. The Beosystem 7000 can be started on all NL devices using BLI .

Thank you for sharing, I think the difference between the 18s and 28s could lie within the stereo pairing. I feel the 18s may be paired via your theatre whereas the 28s pair themselves. Maybe I can break the pairing and force the eclipse to view them individually.

I’m under the impression it is a sound-setup “issue” in the Eclipse. The Eclipse will find the bass capabillities of the BL28 superior to the BL19. So the bass will be re-directed to the BL28. Somewhere in the sound settings this can be changed.

And no, no need to break the pairing. As long the BL28 are connected to the Eclipse the PL/WISA connection, these connections are in favour over the paired BL28’s.

[carolpa]

there is something very odd in your both pictures of the settings of the BLC (Beolink NL/ML converter).

1. the first picture says the BLC is set as AMaster
2. but if it is set as AMaster, you can not get the second picture. These setting option is only available when the BLC is set as VMaster.

On the ML side there only can be one A.Master and one V.Master. So the BLC can’t be either!

On the ML side: there can only be one global source (a source of a AMaster or VMaster). So only one N.Music (=A.Tape2), one PHONO (=N.Radio), one CD, etc. so there could be a limitation.

Good evening everyone Small update I contacted Quality dream this week but they told me that they don’t make them anymore. I agree if anyone knows where they could be found or how the repair could be proceeded (my beocord 4500 is only broken on one side)

I should still have a Beocord 3500 glass somewhere lying around. It is for sale (if  I can locate it😋)

Hello. I just have a question that I hope someone can help with. I’m playing around with getting a BeoLink Gateway on my system at home. Can I make a macro where I can switch a light group on and off using the same button on my BeoRemote One (eg green)…? Thanks in advance

Goto “Recources”
Select “Virtual sources”
Select the zone; choose a name; select type: “virual button”

Hello, What is the minimum software version that the Bs 9000 (mk2) needs to have in order to run satisfactorily in a setup of bv11 + converter? I’m actually only interested in controlling the CD part, the rest runs via the bv11 anyway. I would also be interested in how the software releases differ. Greetings horst

The BV11 – BLC – BS9000 system setup is dependant on the setup of the BLC and not so of the sw version of the BS9000, thus no minimum sw nessacery.

Madskp wrote:

This could be a solution, but do you know that the BS9000 might be upgraded to a newer software that supports N.music and N.Radio from another source instead of using it’s own AUX connection? This thread https://forum.beoworld.org/forums/topic/beosound-9000-type-252x-from-april-1996-software-update/ mention something about which type numbers can have which software version, and there is also a guide on how to perform the upgrade.

If f.e. a BS9000 is connected to a BLC in  a NL setup it doesn’t have to be compatible for N.Music/N.Radio.

Peter Vaessen wrote:

If this best guess is the solution, I still have additional questions: BLC BV7-55 as Audiomaster or VideoMaster? BS9000 as VideoMaster or AudioMaster? Or both as A.SLAVE or both as Source Centre? Which Product by Apps should the BLC control? (VideoMaster, AudioMaster or even the Beosound Essence)

I would make/try the next setup.

first BLC – setup as AMaster – ML connect the BV7 and all other ML stuff (except the BS9000) (give BLC name f.e. BV7 blc)/
second BLC – setup as ASlave – ML connect the BS9000 (no speakers attached) (give BLC name f.e. BS9000 blc and the CD the name “BS9000 cd”).
connect the Essense mkII to the same network

set te tab “sources visible to ML” in 1st BLC (BV7 blc) :  set “NL product name” to “BS9000 blc”, “NL source” to “BS9000 cd” and set on the “IR mapping” tab the same for “CD”.

Result: the BS9000 cd should be possible to start on the Essense with the B&o app and with the CD command on the BV7.

Note: you can not install or have a second source which should start with the CD command in this system (ML can only handle one)

Tried to attach to Win10 DLNA also. In the BEO App all worked liked expected. Music files are visible, playing, etc, etc. But, as I am using a BLGW, in the BEO Living IOS app the resource name is visible, but no files are listed. Any ideas?

The sole thing comes in mind is: switch on upnp in router/modem. Or contact Khimo: I did have issue’s (Beoliving beta program) with music servers in the past, which they solved.

My connection between Minimserver works, see pictures.

Edit: Just after posting the above message, I remembered a portable DAB radio I have, which fortunately has an AUX input. Here, the volume of the Beogram over AUX is only slightly lower than the radio channel I had set. All good there. So, the issue must be in the Beoconnect Core or rather in the app. Seems really strange to me…

Can’t the input level of the Line-in of the Beoconnect Core be switched between Low / Medium / High in the B&o app just like for the Beosound Core?

No experience yet with the Beoconnect Core……

[carolpa]

I use Minimserver.

It can be setup to personal preferences.

Sometimes when I experience detection problems of music servers by the B&o app, I start Twonky for 5 to 10 minutes (for some reasons it seems to be triggering earlier detection of servers by the B&o app).

Note: in the last years this has happened twice after some sw update (the server, Windows, B&o app? I can’t recall the origin of the problem)

Great info, thanks 🙂

My Essence Mk2 turns Passive on fine – fully wired RJ45 PL lead used.

It was actually that I had picked up from another thread, but I can see now that I have made the YES for the MK1. That will be corrected in the next version of the list

To my knowledge and experience all Beosounds / Beomasters will switch on the MC2P / Active / ML-MCL converter when connected with fully wired PL (even the BS Moment).
Note: never tested it on a BS5 or BS5e, but presumably it won’t work on a BS5 when “master” is set off.

Also all MCL capable Beomasters will support MCL. That said: why use a seperate amp if the Beomaster is MCL  ready (f.e. 4500, 6500, ….)?

One annoyance for me – when you view an album in the B&O app, it show the tracks in alphabetic order according to track title, rather than by track order. That’s just rubbish!

I have the same problem but am not at all sure about the cause. I thought it was a limitation of my NAS server because I think it also happens on other music ‘clients’ (eg apps on Apple TV) – it could perhaps be linked to the way the tracks were ripped, or the music library organisation/indexation – more investigation needed!

How music is presented to the B&o app depends on the music server used. So no B&o issue!
And for sure, how a music server handles tracks depends havely on 1) its capabilities and 2) on the music file tags.

See the menu structure of the music server I use:

1. serve the same purpose: drive my beolab and act as input for the room, even if there is no NL devices in the network?

This should be possible yes. I am a little unsure about the local input if setup as A.SLAVE though

if set as ASlave: impossible to set “visible on ML” in the BLC, therefor one should expect the local source can not be ML distributed. (maybe this work around still works: program the BLC as VMaster, set the visible on ML as prefered, set the IR mapping, then set the BLC as ASlave).
I doubt the line-in will start the Beolabs on auto-sense when set to ASlave. Then a IR-eye is necessary to manual start the BLC as alternative for an Active Link.

MJBeo wrote:

2. Allow me to select which command on the beo4 selects the analog input, not only the PC command

Yes. Although only sources that are not in use for other devices in the ML network can be used. That means if you allready have a Audio and Video master your choises are limited.

It totally depends on the ML. If a Audio and Video master are part of the mix, then in principle the Source Center is the only option to setup the BLC then only NMusic and NRadio are available. But if a Phono and/or ATape2 are present these options are not available anymore.

If only a Video or Audio master is in the mix, you’re right the options are less limited, but still limited. Only once a source/command (cd, tape, tape2,..etc.) can be available in ML.

MJBeo wrote:

3. possibly allow the local source to be available throughout the house, unlike Beolink Active?

I think the NL/ML converter has to be setup as either a Audio or Video master for this to work. This requires that you do not have the one or the other in the system allready. Please let us know a little more about your current setup, then it is easier to give advice.

I agree….

does Plejd supports IFTTT?
Maybe that’s a way to go.

Technicaly the FLAC or MP3 files are changed to CDA files when the cd is burned so the beosound could play it in theory or even in the CDA format it couldn’t. Idk i checked some of my in store buyed cd and the only thing that change is that the cd is in a reading only format (cdfs),

So the tittle of these posts is not acurate.

You should  burn the CD in de CDDA format.

The CD’s i uses for doing my compilation aren’t harm or sum and they are played well on other devices like my computer or a Sony s-master digital amplifier.

The question about the CD path was just to check if it’s one of the newer CD mechanisms, which it is! There is a good chance that these were never able to play mp3s on CD-R or CD-RW. I will have a search and see if I can find out, or perhaps another Ouverture owner on Beoworld can test and comment.

Correct on the Ouverture only CD format is supported.
Maybe a BS3200 could, because it has encoder/decoder for mp3 files. But I doubt it.
