In the setup of the Level there should be a ‘Connected To’ setting.

Also you should be able to use one of the MyButtons.

(Rather deep) in the settings of the M3 you can choose the sensitivety.

Easiest way to listen to the turntable already playing on the M3 I guess will be just to ‘Join in’ on the Level.

Note!
If you just want to use the M3 for the distribution – and not for listening there – you can change the startup volume of it to zero.

A YT video, that shows real life pictures of the BS Theatre:

Not that most of you will understand much, but it is nice to see the product at the launch event.

That works well!

A lot of people have their turntable connected to the line-in of an M3 – just like I did a while ago.

Dependent on how you use it, it must be configured in the app for easy access on the Level.

If I understand your question right…..

You don’t!

The 1611 was created to convert the old MCL system to the (then) newer ML system.

The BL3500 is a dedicated link speaker that needs a master (audio or video) to be used.

If setup right, you can draw on the sources from e.g. an audiomaster/the sources there (radio/cd……).

You control the BL3500 with the remote – have a look here:

Personally I can’t imagine anything missing that we have been waiting/asking for ?

I can’t say for sure which is best – connecting to the tv or to the Stage?

However, you only need one HDMI out of the DVD player.

And you will only need to connect this to the ethernet, if the player has some kind of app interface, which you’d like to use……this probably is not the case, since you already have a lot of apps on the tv.

Just use one HDMI out (the one labelled video/to tv) – I’d try to connect to the LG first.

 

By the way – the LG UBK90 is not just a DVD player, but also plays Bluray disc……should you ever get hold of one.

Since you have no Masterlinked sources in the setup, there is nothing to delay.
You do not need it!

For the record…

….my Avant 1st gen runs perfect.

However, I had to have the DVE exchanged a year ago – which I ‘happily’ paid the price for.

Would have been a crying shame to have such a nice BV trown away because of this.

It is – but not relevant in your case.

See:

You will also have to go (deep) into the settings of the Essence.

In the app navigate untill you reach the webinterface of the product.

’Configure’ and then ‘Settings’

There you will see ‘Beolink’ -> ‘Connect to other products’?
This is where you choose your BV.

Don’t forget – both products must be on the same home network!

Be aware that there are two versions of the Avant.

The one that is mentioned above is the 1 gen.

As far as I know the costs for the DVE replacement are not that high anymore (as a dealer before you decide).

If you can live with this risk and am willing to put some money aside from the start, you will get a pretty decent Beovision. Furthermore you must know that you’ll have to add an AppleTV/Chromecast etc solution, since the smart tv platform is not up to date anymore.

The second version (called NG) is younger, but is based on an Android platform, which a lot of the B&O fans does not like.
However, it is said to run rather smooth with the latest updates.
Also here most people add a ATV….
There are some of these that may have display issues.

Both are based on the BSys4 audio engine, which gives you a lot of options, when connecting additional speakers.

Many – both 1 gen and NG – are being used nowadays and people tend to like them, but you must consider that these are old tv’s.

I’d say wires in any case….especially now that they are already there.

If you do not find a buyer, you could consider donating  these to the museum in Struer ?

“The NL/ML converter must be connected to the home network/router via a wired connection……the same network as the newer products are connected to (wire or wireless).”

This means – the Converter is integrated with your network router through the wired connection and so to the NL products: these can be wired or wireless connected to this same network.

The Masterlink port is used for the ML products ( = your BL2000’s including the masterlink driver).

The setting PCM in the ATV means that the ATV must decode the stream – this way you won’t get any Atmos metadata….and thus no indication in the app.

If set to Auto the ATV will know what us on ‘the other end’ and will send the Atmos stream for the Stage to decode = indication in the app.

You will always need the NL/ML Converter…..it is the bridge between ML and NL.

All ML devices will act collectively.

Since you do not want any ML connected sources (i.e. a CD player) – you just have the needed ML driver in a setup like you want to create – you will only be able to listen to sources from a NL device on one (or more of the) BL 2000.

Actually you don’t need the Essence (unless you want to connect speakers there).

You will need the NL/ML Converter in any case.

If the Masterlink chain has no audio- or videomaster you will need the Powerbox – as far as I know the 1611 can do the same as the box.

The ML chain is connected to the NL/ML converter.

The NL/ML converter must be connected to the home network/router via a wired connection……the same network as the newer products are connected to (wire or wireless).

Everything is configured in the web interface of the NL/ML Converter and accordingly in the setup section of the NL products.

The Essence MK2 is a NL product just like the other devices in your drawing.

The center point is the NL/ML Converter!

It seems to be an invitation to a physical event (for those going to/living in Berlin).

Wonder if there will be some kind of online presentation too?

Sorry to tell you this……

….but assuming you have the first gen Avant, this seems to be the first sign of a failing video engine.

Do you see that with any source on the Avant?

It probably will get worse!

The only cure then, will be a new video engine board – please contact your/a dealer for further advice.

Some DAC’s have different setting for the output mode.

Could it be that you’d have to change settings when using either the line out or the hp output?
