Great. Your BEO4 is one where A.TAPE2 is replaced with N.MUSIC and PHONO with N.RADIO then. The IR commands are the same just renamed for newer functions
You might be able to add the command L.A-TAPE2 to the list ( I can’t remember if is availAble. If so that should do the trick
Or did you just mean that you will use the masterlink cable from the 1614? I might have missread
Great deal 😀
I don’t know if the BV8 has the timer, but if not it is possible to not show the missing clock on the BL3500. There are three display setting where one is not showing the clock. You can switch between them by holding the timer button and touching the mute button on the BL3500
Regarding the connection to the BV8 you can not use the 1614 when you already have the 1611.
You have to divide the masterlink connection with a junction boxThe BeoRemote One controls the Beosound 9000. Just like normal if it was a standalone system. So the adjusted volume goes into the Almando multiplay. Since this just passes through the line signal it receives, it doesn’t really do anything in this setup. The reason I have it is because my Denon receiver sends the front speakers into it in order to turn on the Beolab 5’s.
Ok makes sense. Was just thinking if Almando had made some new features in their products
I run a powerlink cable from my Beosound 9000 into a Almando that is connected to my Beolab 5’s. I can control the Beosound 9000 fully with my BeoRemote One BT (which controls all my other units).
Could you elaborate a little on how this works, Is it just the IR function from the BeoRemote one you use for this control or is it something in the Almando box (which of their products is it?) that can recieve the Bluetooth signals from the Beoremote One and relay them via the data in the powerlink cable?
Thanks in advance
Very nice looking 😀
I especially like the now playing hook system both for having a place to store the now playing covers, but also for displaying the art on the covers
Wauw some collection you have/had there.
I also tend to buy thing that sounds like a bargin although sometime they may require more work than other 😀
Great that the equipment is working.
When you are going to choose which BL3500 to keep you might consider if they are MK1 or MK2, and also which software version they have. All versions should work with your current setup, but judging from your posts you might have caught the Beovirus (like many of us 😉 ) and may want they most future proof version.
Software version on BL3500 can be checked by pressing Menu + 0 + 0 + GO on a BEO4. If the BL3500 is a MK2 you have to press Menu twice in that sequence
Might have found a little info regarding this. According to Soundsheavenly’s product page regarding an AUX Y splitter https://soundsheavenly.com/bang-olufsen/11-7-pin-aux-splitter-dual-aux-tape-input-sockets.html
mains hum can be introduces if two mains powered sources are used.
Any thoughts are welcome
Sorry to bring this one up again but how do we write text below quoted replies on the new Multicare Forum? I was familiar with the ‘Text’ tab on the previous forum but that doesn’t seem to be there now.
What I do when I have quoted something like here is to press enter, an then the Quote sign to left allign the text after the Quote. I think it also was that way it worked before.
As for the hum possibility, I was hoping that since the WIIM Pro gets its power from USB, and is therefore not running on mains voltage, I wouldn’t get the hum. I guess I’ll find out once I get it all connected! The Aux Splitter that Steve sells is only £20 so it’s worth a try.
Absolutely worth a try. I also seem to remember a thread where it was mentioned that the quality of the USB power source could affect how much hum was introduced .
Let us know how it works out
I do already use the Aux socket on my BC8500 (for my WIIM Pro streamer), but I see that Sounds Heavenly do a splitter cable, so I guess I can make it work with one of those.
I am not 100% sure if the use of a splitter in this configuration can cause issues. I do not have a splitter myself to test with. However one thing I notice in Steve description of the splitter cable is that if it is used with two mains connected sources it can introduce hum to the sound, so just be aware of that
Ah thanks, I’ll try that. If I can get sound from the TV playing through the BC8500 or vice-versa, then at least I know the Beolink Converter 1611 I bought works, before I invest in the Beolab 3500 that I ultimately bought it for. I don’t intend for the TV and BC8500 to remain connected – there’s no benefit to that for my setup. The built in speakers on the BV8 TV are plenty good enough for my purposes.
If the TV is not in the same room as the BC8500 it can be used as a link room speaker.
If they are in the same room you can use the TV speakers, and any powerlink speakers connected to that as speakers for the BC8500
Just to let you know some of the options you have
I found out that I have acces to a large format scanner, so now both manuals are scanned in their full size and Multicare has put them on the Beoworld product page https://beoworld.org/master-control-link-82-mcl82/
I’ve just realised though in your earlier post however @Madskp, it says that I would connect the 1611 to my BC8500 using the Aux output, but I see that the 1611 has both Aux and Powerlink sockets. Can I connect it via Powerlink rather that Aux?
The connection should be made between the AUX socket on the BC8500 and the AAL socket on the Beolink Converter 1611. The Powerlink connection is only used if you have the speakers for the BC8500 connected to a TV and want to be able to adjust the volume with the buttons on the BC8500.
Also, do you happen to know if the display on the BL3500’s display can display the functions of my BC8500, when connected this way?
The Beolab 3500 display will show the name of the source and the station/track number for example “Radio 4” or “CD 2”
The clock on the BL3500 can be setup so the the source and number momentarely and the go back to the clock, or allways showing the source and number when something is playing.
I will do that then
Thanks and received. I have added to the products list under BeoLink.
Great, I can see that they are there. One correction though. The one you have called part 1 is the user manual, and the one you have called part 2 is the installation manual.
MCL82
That would be amazing if you could send across, I will get it added for other users to enjoy 😀
I will do that then.
I Also have diagrams/service manuals for some vintage TV’s that I could scan now that I discovered that I have acces to a large format scanner.
I have for:
Capri TV 606
Capri TV 608
Capri TV 609 FM
Grand Prix TV 514
Grand Prix TV 607
Beovision 1300
Beovision Type 3206-3223
Beovision Type 3131-3132-3135-3136
Beovision 300-700-100-1800
Let me know if that is of interest, then I will also try to scan them
I have just scanned the user and the installation manual for MCL82 today on a large format scanner. These were not previous in the manual repository. Would you be interested in me sending/uploading these to you?
XavierItzmann wrote: Phil’s remarkable software displayed beautiful scrolling metadata N.MUSIC:song name/artist/album and N.RADIO radio station/song name on BS3000, but not on BL3500. I think Phil said at the time that the BL3500 just didn’t have the functionality. When I saw this it made me wonder if my BL3500 shows FM radio RDS data (station name etc). I just checked with my BC2300 (RDS module fitted), BL1611 and BL3500, and it doesn’t!
For good measure I also tried this with a Beocenter 2 and a Beolab 3500MK2 SW 3.1 (I belive Guy have a MK1 BL3500 with SW 2.x??)
This setup also does not show anything but Radio 1, 2, 3, etc. in the display of the BL3500
