This unit is very intriguing.

I have been looking at the picture of the front several times since you posted, and I am wondering about the 3 columns of connectors named 1, 2 and 3 for both AUX, PL and AVL, and also the labeling master and slave in the bottom of the scart connectors.

Can you see if the connctors in the single columns (for example 1) are directly connected internally so they work as a passthrough or if they go through some circytry on the board? This could indicate wheether alle types of connectors in one column. are both master and slave

I wonder if the IR sockets might be for direct use with the 7 pin DIN IR connectors on the round IR eyes for Beolink active and Passive.

Nice writeup. There is something about those blue B&O instruments. You can almost feel the quality of them.

I had a student job in the drawing archive in the R&D department of B&O for a year back in 1996/1997. Those blue instruments were all over the place in the R&D department back then.

I have a SN14 power supply myself that I have had for almost 30 years now and had much use of. It might need some servicing by now though as the voltage regulation is a little unstable now.

I also have this box with a disassembled  TG7  and an extra main PCB that I got from my father. He has no idea what might be wrong with it, and its not high on my priority list. But maybe someday 😀

For that use case the 1611 is the correct option.

it is possible to use the Beosystem 2500 with MCL by use of a Beolink Passive or ML-MCL converter.

It connects to the Beosystem with powerlink and converts to MCL

And yes a 1614 can not be used in this scenario

The Beosystem 2500 (and 2300) does not have masterlink, but you are right they can convert to masterlink with the use of the 1611 converter connected to the AUX socket of the Beosystem

Then, my second of two comments: Could maybe the indent while citation is applied be decreased? Otherwise only few or even only one character is displayed. Please see also the attachment.   I believe it is not easy getting all these browsers running / displaying things correctly, I keep fingers crossed …

I can add that this has not been like this all the time with the new forum. I first observed it in the post you are refering to, and I use the citation feature a lot

Edit: also have a iPhone SE 2020

There was recently a thread about the same issue for a Beovision 11 (same platform as the V1), and in the last post in that thread user Vikinger tells that ha had to take his BV11 to a dealer to have it updated correctly as the USB stick method was not working in that case

You will need a 3.5mm minijack to rca cable to connect the Alexa and UCA222.

Be aware that you have to activate the A.AUX on the Beomaster/Beosound 5 for the music to pass through that to the speakers, so you can not voice control the whole process

I was also a little confused about this at first, but there are some ways to achive this.

On the forum front page there is a thing called fresh topics

In the little forum drop down menu you can choose: Forum view -> Fresh topics

Or you can just use this direct link

Hope this helps

The problem here is that the problem can be both software or electronics.

If you want to dive in to the electronic side of it I might have a hint here.

Since there are not schematics of these kind of newer products I have been looking at the schematics for Beolink Active and Beolink Passive just to see if anything obvious shows up.

It seems that for those the IR signal is connected to the microcomputer with only a resistor in between. The resistor is not likely to fail. However these units also has a protection diode to ground, and that could fail. A screenshot from the Beolink passive service manual to clarify what I am talking about

If you can locate a diode with the same purpose in the Essence you can meassure if it has continuty in only on or both directions whre the latter would indicate a failed diode.

Hope this can be usefull for the further proces of fault finding

(But I still can’t get IR control to work – annoyingly!)

Did you ever get any answer from B&O support regarding that issue?

The link wont work. it is on beoworld.org rather than forum.beoworld.org, it is from an old test part of the site which should not have been accessible.

Ok that explains the layout, but vierdly enough both me and the other member had acces and was getting notifications

This has been resolved now

Thanks, I can find it now with the search funtion. But it looks like some of the most recent posts in the thread is missing, and therefor the direct link from before is not working anymore

You were right – the DIN connection was quite poor because of the recess in the casing. If I pushed it in more firmly, it gave a better connection.

Good to hear that was also the case with yours and ended up making it better

Oh, that looks cool. That’s in my bookmarks now, hopefully they will bring that to market. That’s exactly what I need, and if I understood it right, might also be able to bring datalink controls back to the Beogram 3000 I have connected to by Beosound 4.

Yes it will be very interesting to see what they might bring to market. The possibilities are endless, but in the end it may rely on a buisness case how many variations they end up making

Not much knowledge about the Beosound Moment, but have noticed quite a few threads about dead tablet which might be a dealbreaker.

As for updates and software support for streaming services I would not count on it.

However if used with a NL/ML converter it is possible to t define which ML source the NL sources will be. So music from the moment can be set to be N.Music, or also a Video source which will free up the N.Music for other sources on the ML network

If you are patient I think Hall Audio is working on something togheter with Polyvection that could be what you are looking for. I am not sure if it has been mentioned much her on Beoworld, but there was an episode about it on the Beotalk Podcast on youtube not long ago https://www.youtube.com/live/_9yRGFLIepY?si=mdYDLxA3iMGvTSPy

Based on this post the outer ring in the DIN connector has a separate wire on a Beogram 2000, so pretty sure that must be a ground connection https://forum.beoworld.org/forums/topic/how-to-wire-7-din-plug-to-beogram/#post-53422

My parents has the same cheap Riaa amplifier as you have (you mentioned in another post). I remember  the  first time I connected it there was some hum. I noticed that because the DIN connectors on the RIAA is recessed the outer casing on the wire DIN plugs can be a little fidely to get into the the connector. It was like it had to be alligned very precisly to get the connector get to the bottom. Hope that makes sense

I know your problem is not hum, but a bad connection can make all sorts of trouble, so maybe worth to try
