For the most user friendly operation speakers connected to the MX8000 in option 2 and then the Ouverture in option 0 is recommended.

Else you will have to have both in option 1 and control it like Yann suggest.

YannChris wrote:

PS: is the MX directly connected the Ouverture or is there a black box (converter) between the 2 products?

The MX8000 has the possibility to have en optional ML module which I guess is the case here as the MX8000 does not have and Audio Aux Link connector as previous models.

ved at fjerne PL kabel mellem bs3 & 6500 forsvinder information i penta display, hvorfor?

Der er vist noget med at der er en lille omskifter ved stik panelet på Beolab Penta hvor man kan vælge mellem Audio og Video. Den skal stå på video når de er tilsluttet til BS3. Grunden til at du fik display før var at signalet blev ført over via Powerlink kablet, men det er ikke meningen det skal den vej.

Henrik Enggaard wrote:

endvidere tænker jeg om menu punket LINK hvor der kan stilles en frekvens har betydning for mit set-up som er i samme rum.

Det er kun hvis man vil kunne føre billedet fra BS3 til et TV i et andet rum via antenne kabel. Det er en funktion der nok ikke giver så meget mening med moderne video kilder.

Ja der er en del specielle ting at holde styr på, men når det så er sat rigtigt op er brugeroplevelsen normalt også rigtig god

Hej igen Henrik

Det er korrekt at der ikke skal et powerlink kabel mellem BS3 og BM6500,  så det vil jeg anbefale at du fjerner

Det lyder godt. Dejligt at det det lykkedes.

Henrik Enggaard wrote:

nu hvor 6500 ikke modtager signalet fra fjernbetjening, hvilken kommando får det tilbage er det samme procedure.

Ja, hvis du igen vil betjene den selvstændigt er det option settings med Audio igen, og så med 1 i stedet for (det får B6500 til at modtage audio kommandoer).

En ekstra info til dit setup. Hvis du har andre komponenter i Beosystem 6500 (f.eks. CD, plade eller bånd) og gerne vil starte en kilde direkte med knapperne på den så skal der også sættes et Powerlink kabel mellem en a Powerlink udgangene på BM6500 og Powerlink stikket på converteren.

Hej igen Henrik

Jeg har desværre lidt begrænsede muligheder ud over svar på forum lige for tiden, men prøv at beskrive hvad det er du oplever.

En hurtig tanke herfra er om kablet mellem converteren og Beomaster 6500 er sat i det rigtige stik på Beomaster 6500 (TV/AUX)

Are the speakers set to left and right on the switches on the speakers?

Out of curiosity, why do you use a Beolink Passive with an IR eye in the  same room as the BS9000?

That also crossed my mind. Potentially the Beolink passive can also work as and amplifier connected via Powerlink to the BS9000 and no IR eye connected. The Powerlink cable has to be a MK2 fully wired Powerlink for it to work though.

Yes I think the motor windings must be connected to the three solder pads. You might be able to see some of it in some of the photos in this thread https://archivedforum2.beoworld.org/forums/t/628.aspx?PageIndex=4

Which wire should connect to which winding might not be clear though

When I initially set up I had the beolabs playing by using the remote and then pressed play on the ir eye. After I disconnected the beloabs I used the remote to control the ir eye.

Just to be sure about the setup: Is it correct that you do not have any speakers connected directly to the Beosound 9000?

James Powell wrote:

Only two things occurred between it working and not. I used the remote to turn on a non-b&o tv, and an electrician changed a dimmer switch.

Hard to say if these things could have affected anything, but anything is possible.

James Powell wrote:

The IR eye had a loose connection so I replaced the lead for a new one. I

Did you replace the lead with an original one with the same color coding? If so did you double check that all the wires are connected correctly and that there is no strain from any of the wires touching anything than its dedicated screw terminal in the IR eye?

James Powell wrote:

find it odd how the IR eye is receiving a signal from the remote (it blinks when I hold the OFF button or blinks when I follow the process you showed above) but cannot process a proper command.

I think that the IR eye might be able to react if just ground and 5V is connected, but if there is an issue with the data wire the signals might not be passed, so it is possible that there can be an issue with connections as mentioned before.

I am tempted to purchase another masterlink cable to see if it is the problem?

Also worth a try, but I would suggest to check the above first

Could you try to post a picture of the place where you do not see a connection. Just to understand what the issue is

Q2 Assuming that I can get these connectors off how do I clean it, do I just dunk it in IPA overnight or some such or is there a special procedure?

As far as I remember I just wiped the motor shaft with a cloth soaked in IPA.

Q3 The motor also seems to be pressed into a metal plate, is it best practice to press it off before cleaning?

Not quite sure about this, but Maybe my pictures or those in the linked thread can give you some answers

You might find some inspiration for disassembely of the motor in this thread where I disassembled the motor

Feel free to ask if you need any clarification and I will try to refresh my memory on the subject

Sorry a bit of confusion. There is no BV8 in the equation as this is toehold TV that has been replaced by a Samsung!

My bad. I meant that I do not see a need for Masterlink between BC2 and BS3 in this usecase.

paddy2042 wrote:

I tried your trick of removing the Masterlink for the BS3 but it made no difference.

You might try to redo the option settings for the Beossytem 3:

• Be sure that the entire system is in standby
• Hold down standby + list on the BEO4
• The text in the display should change.
• Press the list button until OPTION is shown in the display and press GO
• Press list until VIDEO is shown in the display, then press 2 and GO
• The red LED on the IR eye should blink once to confirm it has received the change

This should make sure that the Beosytem 3 receives both VIDEO and Audio commands as it should.

Can you explain how you used them independently. If you were to play a CD for example. I asume you would have to use an other command for one of the zones?

Location: Denmark

[Madskp]

One other note for information. DVD sound is tranfered via SCART between BC2 and BV8

Location: Denmark

[Madskp]

Ok. I do not see the need for Masterlink between the Bv8 and the BC2 (and also it will make conflict between BC2 and BS9000) with this usecase, so I would suggest you try to unplug Masterlink from the BC2 (power down all devices before you do that)and see if anything changes

Location: Denmark

[Madskp]

How is the Beocenter 2 conencted to the BV8, by Scart or by Masterlink and do you use the DVD in the BC2 to watch films or just for CD listening?

Did you change the cabling when you replaced the BV8 with the Beosystem 3 or is it the same cables that connect to the BS9000 and the BC2?

Location: Denmark

[Madskp]

One more follow up question. When it worked did both the 9000 and the Beolink Active start when you activated a source like CD?

Location: Denmark

James Powell wrote:

The passive is in the same room as my 9000 but it didn’t affect it previously

Ok, just to be sure do you also have speakers connected to the BS9000 or only to the passive?

If you have speakers on both could you control them separately before?

 

Location: Denmark

[Madskp]

Hard to say what it could be then

Do you have any other link rooms and are they working?
