Thanks Madskp! But I did test the kablage, and it was end-to-end perfect. The thing is, I have to run the cable through the ceiling, throught the attic, and then down through the kitchen ceiling, so I would have to enlarge the holes in the ceiling in both the main room, and in the kitchen. Tomorrow we leave for a forthnight in Europe, so I will have time to mull over this. I do not know wheter this https://www.amazon.se/gp/product/B09MQQR5LQ/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A326X3AG3XUTK4&th=1 would help, since the cabling seems OK?

I had a good signal, meaning that the 3500 showed time on the display, after I tested the wiring thouroughly, but still no sound. Then I got a 1611 connection box instead of the 1614, but before I replaced that, I moved the 3500from one place in the room to another, and contact was lost. Again. It has been suggested that the little white joining boxes could be replaced with e.g. RJ45 CAT6 Pass Through, for better stability.

So, here is the situation, so far:
I loosened the Masterlink from the 1614 and tried it in the 3500 socket. No sound.
I have acquired a teleplug to DIN from Steve, and have tried this with my phone and with my ipad. The phone plays on its own speaker, while the Ipad goes silent. Nothin comes out of the 3500.
Also, I checked the aftermarket Masterlink that was installed to join the 3500 to the system, using a Fluke 115 multimeter.2 and 3 do not beep against anything at the other end of the cable. 1 beeps against green and green-white
11 beeps against blue
12 does not beep against any of the leads in the other end of the cable
13 beeps against orange-white
14 beeps against orange
15 beeps against red-white
16 beeps against red
The Beomaster still needs to be connected to the the first Penta for any sound to emerge from them. The Beomaster and the 3500 respond to OPTION, by showing the number. The Beovision does not.

Yes, I disconnected the PL lead between BM7000 and Pentas. The TV’s standby light does not flash at all when setting V.OPT 2. So something else is off, apparently, since the same thing happens again, as before I connected the BM to the BV. I had the 1614 apart last time I tried to solve this, and it looks OK.
Can I draw the conclusion that something is wrong with the BV7? It has a HDMI converter… oldish…

This was a problem I solved by setting a powerlink between the BM and the left Penta, after everything else failed.

When I set the OPTION on the BM to 0, it displays 0. When I set the OPTION to V2 on the BV, it displays nothing. The PC function on the BV (I only use Apple TV) has sound and vision, but nothing comes out of the BM.

The BM7000 AUX/TV socket is connected (with a 7-pin DIN) to the Audio Aux Link (AAL) socket of the BL1614 converter; check!
The main speakers are Beolab Pentas, and they are both plugged into the Beovision 7. The left one is also plugged into the Beomaster powerlink, beacuse if it’s not, there is no sound from the Beomaster.

I just tried that one, pointing at 3500 with the system in standby, and then in with the TV on. No reaction at all on the display of the 3500. The only reaction I can get from the 3500 is the five second Radio, or TAPE, or PHONO display.

Splved it by using the powerlink directly from the Beomaster 7000 to the second powerlink socket on the left Penta.

Hi Julian
I have tried all this, but will do again tomorrow, after I connect the 3500 in the kitchen. All dayy I have been preparing to join the Masterlink, which I hope will work

Yes, there is audio in Speaker 1 (passive speakers) when I connect the 4500.
I am learning here; 12V on PL pin 3 must mean the powerlink pins, so I will check that, but which powerlink are we talking about? The PL on the BM is not in use.
TR5? What is that?

Yes, skolesen, I did, and they work, after I touch the volume on Beo4. I had the Beomaster 7000 checked, and it turns out there was a glitch in the audio jack. The Pentas still do not work.

Thank you for your advice, steffen, but although I have tested the audio jack on the left side of the front, and have perfect sound when connecting a headset, I do not know what or where the muting pin is.

I have the exact same problem, which ChatGPT analysed as a faulty Omron G2R-2-SN (DC24), a loudspeaker relay, so I will continue from there.

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”.

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.

The volume on the panels does not change when I play the Beogram 7000, btw, but no sound emerges there, either.

The Pentas are connected directly to the two DIN Powerlink on the back of the Beovision, just underthe SCART and MCL. The Beomaster is then comnected via the little black box to the Beovision’s AUX/TV. I get no sound from the radio, and the volume starts at 14, skips to 36 when I turn it up, and then skips back to 14, both on the BM display and on the BV. No sound from the radio. Sorry about the long post, but I wanted someone else to look at it, because it seemed to be a new angle; if capacitors are the problem, I can waste unlimited time following instructions from this panel, and still get no closer to a solution. Any thoughts?
