      Casper should be on BeoWorld – boy the man can talk enthusiastically about B&O! 🙂 Wonderful products.

        A BeoCenter 9300 with touchscreens under the doors: for music selection on one side, and beolink control on the other side!

          Hello Rob, yes I do have the attic’s BS5/BM5 connected to a BLC, it is in A.Slave mode (and it plays some AudioSlave too sometimes!).

          While I am listening to BeoSound 5 MOTS music (Chili Peppers) in the kitchen (BeoLab 4000s connected to another BLC – A.Master – with IR eye) I can’t say you can really instruct the playback of MOTS music with a command. You select music on the BS5 (or with a colored Be04 button) and when that queue has ended, the BS5 will continue to play songs that are more of the same. The Red Hot Chili Peppers are apparently more of the same as The Offspring’s L.A.P.D :-). Having said that, when I hold the ‘GO’ button on my older Beo4 for some time, still in the kitchen, the music stops for a moment, to let me know this song is now the ‘seed’. I tested it by playing an album halfway through, and after a long ‘GO’ press the BS5 indeed moves to MOTS and plays similar songs. So you could say that is a way to ‘activate’ MOTS.

          I am not sure this all just works because of the BLC behaving as a MasterLink unit. I do not have a true NL speaker to test this with. Maybe Carolpa will chime in?

            Sounds a bit hopeless imho… 🙁

            If your aim is to have a modern screen with an iconic triangular shape speaker, you could of course get a BeoLab 10 (and find a, for you, suitable way to play the TV’s sound).

              This thread is less promising: https://archivedforum2.beoworld.org/forums/t/16929.aspx and speaks about a bespoke cabling between monitor & control center. Here is a danish manual that indeed indicates there is a bespoke control center cabling: https://radioogtveksperten.dk/images/manualer/tv/AV_9000.pdf.

                Hi Roderic, I did think about this some time ago, but abandoned the idea, and bought a BeoSystem 3. When taking a look here: https://beocentral.com/av9000controlcenter, it seems encouraging! What connections are there on the ‘control center’? If there is a (digital) audio in, there might be a chance you could mount a modern tv on it, and feed the audio signal to the control center. Controlling that modern (non B&O) tv with a Beo4 will be another story, maybe a Neomesteren product could provide for that. And setting the surround levels etc. (if at all possible) must be done through a menu, so the ‘control center’ has to have a video output that the modern TV can handle.

                Maybe you can share some photographs of the connections between the monitor and the control center?

                Regards, Johan

                  Hi Eric, Mk3 will do. Check Steve’s site: https://soundsheavenly.com/powerlink-8-pin-din-connection/20-272-powerlink-mk-3-compatible-8-pin-din-cable-with-4-cores-wired-low-profile-cable.html#/9-length-18m

                  “This cable is perfect for use with all Beolab speakers that do not have displays (although not suitable for Beolab 5 – this needs mk 2).”

                  Here there is some more insight: http://www.soundsheavenly.com/faq/guide-various-types-powerlink-cable-bang-olufsen-use/

                    Hello MM,

                    See below the configuration. Downstairs I use the Core for Radio, but in the ‘Study’ (=attic) there is also the BS5. When playing radio on the BV10 I like the visual of the BS5’s screen to show the station :-). The Beo4 commands are from the ‘ML source’ listing.

                    The BV10 and it’s ‘own’ Beo4 are in LINK mode as I also use the BC6 (that is close to my desk) to play from the BS/BM5.

                    Have a nice Sunday!

                    Regards, Johan

                      Hello Håkan,

                      That should work fine. See my setup where I also linked a BV10 through NL.

                        Hi London Joe, and welcome back!

                        I trust there are some nice B&O TVs to be found, but an option could be to re-purpose the BeoSystem 3 that is integrated in the BV9, and use it with a modern third party TV. You can feed the audio from that screen into the BS3 and enjoy its surround sound, as well as keeping all MasterLink integration you have right now. I do this with an LG screen, using the LG as the ‘video hub’ (with an Apple TV connected) and the BS3 as the ‘audio hub’ (with my ML/NL system). You will have to deal with two remotes unless a dealer can help and load a PUC file into your BS3. You will need an S/PDIF converter (optical to coax) most likely, and a suitable B&O IR eye. Check this also https://forum.beoworld.org/forums/topic/controlling-an-lg-oled-tv-using-beosystem-3/ . There are more threads.

                        Just to make sure you consider this option too.

                        Regards, Johan

                          Hi Mark, you could contact BeoBuddy (forum member) for repairs. He is located in Utrecht, he has been helping me with repairs quite a few times, all successfully.

                                  Hoi Peter, schitterend apparaat! Ik zocht er één en dacht die op mp gevonden te hebben, maar het bleek toch een BS5/BM5 combo te zijn. Wel meegenomen 🙂

                                        Hello Maxime,

                                        MasterLink signals and PowerLink signals are not the same! But you can use RJ45 connections (with shielded CAT7 cabling) for both ML and PL. Check the BeoLink handbooks here: https://beoworld.org/beotech/reference-manuals-beotech/.

                                        A BeoLink active + IR eye will most likely be a good option for you: Connect the BeoSound 9000 and the BeoLink Active with MasterLink cabling, and the BeoLink Active with the BeoLab 6000s with PowerLink cabling. With an IR eye, and an extra Beo4 you can listen to, and control, the BeoSound 9000 from the Chambre. Someting like this (think BS9000 where you see BS5/BM5): ML

                                        Hope this helps

                                            ^ looks great in black. I have them in Blue, Red and Silver, so far … 😉 What SW version is it? 2.X with the built in clock? CD player working? (one of mine is intermittent – plays fine once it warms up!)

                                            Thanks Guy! It is SW 1.3, so a bit older. And yes all works very well, apart from maybe a very clear FM signal and some of the red dots being a bit tired. Silver is very nice too I think, and wasn’t there an ice-blue one too? Regards, Johan
