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.

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.

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

@Multicare

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?

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

@Multicare if you do not have these manuals (they were not in the old Beoworld manual library) feel free to use them.

[Madskp]

Finally got the manual scanned. Trying to attach them here.

Because of the format of the installation manual (very large and folded several times) I had some issues with the bordes on some of the pages in the installation manual where the scanner can not go to the edge of the paper.

Hope it can be usefull anyway

When I had mine I used it together with a lintronic code converter. In this way I could have three sources instead of a Beomaster. I think at the side there is an IR sensor, or you plug one in and programme the source that way. In my case I had Radio, CD and A.Tape but you could have any Audio Source or for that matter Video Source. The external IR eye is used when you have it connected to a standalone system such as a Beosound with an Aux port, or you only require control of those additional sources in the room you are in. Which as you are using it with analogue sources is fine as you probably start them off in the room with the beomaster in. I seem to recall I wired it into the lintronic converter which in its turn was wired into a Beolink Converter and became a fake Beomaster. It worked really well but I replaced it with a Media Streamer controlled by the lintronic box, the media streamer has an analogue input so I use that for my turntable.

Very interesting to hear some hands on knowledge about it. It does not seems like it easy to by now though

Here’s the link: https://dk.bosscom.com/products/details?id=1143

Interesting device. The manual does not seem to be available at the page, so I am wondering which remote buttons are used to select the inputs to not interfere with other sources on the Beosystem that it is used with. For BS Ouverture it could make sense with Tape2 and Phono as the Ouverture automatically redirect those commands to it’s AUX connection

It looks like it might be a Oneremote product. I found it looking for something else in their list of manual https://doc.oneremote.dk/app/search.php?lang=UK They call it Audio Input Expander for B&O Systems in the manual list But on the user manual the headline is just AudioExpander Type 300012641

It looks like the source selection is programable in many ways, and can be adjusted to wheether it is connected to and audio source input, or a AUX/TV input

Thanks for your help everyone. I know my choices now:

1. I get a (second hand) Beosound Core.
2. I get the Beotooth, if still available.
3. I get this OneRemote device, but only if I can be sure it does what I want it to do – I have emailed the company with some questions and await their reply.

I haven’t quite made my decision yet but have everything I need – thank you.

If you wan’t to connect all these devices to the BC8500 you might ran out of inputs. The Phono connection on the BC8500 has a RIAA amplifier, so that can only be used for a record player. You can maybe utilize the line in on the BS core.

I am no sure that the newer OneRemote devices rely on datalink, so might be controlled with a B&O remote regardless of how it is connected. The User Guy on this forum has one of their older devices so he have some experience with it.

As for the Beotooth gadget, yes I had seen that project before and it looks really interesting, but can I figure out how to but it!?  No, I cannot.

You should be able to buy it directly from Pilatomic provided he still has it in stock. Try to send him a PM by clicking his username if you are interested in it. I can only say good things about that product

[Madskp]

Depending on what your needs are you could also consider Pilatomics Beotooth 5500 project which is a bluetooth receiver that can be controlled with the B&O remote via datalink and also can start the system when something is played to it https://forum.beoworld.org/forums/topic/beotooth-5500-a-datalink-bluetooth-receiver/

The Beosound core and Essence MK2 (maybe also the moment?) should also be possible to control, but you will the need Both A Beolink Converter ML/NL and a Beolink Converter 1611

The Essence MK1 is more limited the the MK2 in this regard. You should be able to find some posts avout that in the current or one of the archived forums

Hi Mark

one thing I have noticed in the manual repository is the text that tells you to Upgrade your membership to view documents. This might be intended, but it shows up even if I am logged in and could potentially confuse someone if they don’t see any documents for a given product.

I don’t know if it should be rephrased or what not, but now you know.

Location: Denmark

[Madskp]

I can also confirm that it worked before the transfer

Location: Denmark

[Madskp]

It also works for me on a iPhone. Open up the manual in the browser straight away

Location: Denmark

[Madskp]

I have also noticed this, but in my experience Google is also great for finding threads on the archived forums, so that be an option until a fix is done

[Madskp]

Acording to this post from Multicare  the manual repositery is a work in progress that can take months

https://forum.beoworld.org/forums/topic/welcome/page/5/#post-55564

I also see missing products in it, but I can see that there is more now than last i looked, so things are comming along.

Try to take contact to Multicare and see if they can help with the specific manual
