I should look for a BS5 rather than a BS5 Encore, because the latter lacks a MasterLink connection, am I right?

You are right.

Hello Erik & Madskp, I do own two of these Passives, the one that is with me (in storage) is 204957XX and has no button or external LED.

The other one is staying with my father in law, I will try not to forget to check its numbers next time I am over.

That is a really nice result! And great to see your persistence in restoring these decks to perfections. You got some skills Christian.

matador, do you even feel fear? I am impressed with your skills. I do have a (screen)dead BR1BT keyboard for you if wanted? Regards, Johan

Yay! Good news matador, good to see these leaving paper weight status. Will they all be flamingo themed now? 🙂 Regards, Johan

Hi Rob, it sounds you found a possible cause?

This is my current set-up (BL2000 still in the works). BS5/BM5 without speakers directly connected. I do not own a truly NL only device (yet).

Let me know if I can help with anything.

Hello Rob, my attic BS5/BM5 combo is also connected by ML to a BLC (audio slave) to distribute its sources over NL. My living room BeoSystem 3 is also connected to a BLC (audio master) and I can use the colored buttons without problems. This might exclude an NL/ML throughput issue. Is the Core not passing the commands? Regards, Johan

Hi ebnrob, i never use the coloureds list really, but placed some songs in the blue list to test. I pressed the blue button (on the Beo4) and the first song from the list plays. (The BS5 even switched from N.RADIO that was playing to N.MUSIC, and in my case IR commands go through the Masterlinked BC6-26). Does your remote emit IR signals when pressing the coloured buttons? Have you tried other remotes?

Hope this gives a clue to resolve, regards, Johan

Hello Peter, welcome to the forum, nice BeoSound!

Is the folder system logic the same as for your other music files? You write ‘I have made a different folder on my NAS’ for the tape-based music. Why is that? Can’t you just use the same folder for all music and (maybe to distinguish) write ‘[tape]’ behind the album name?

Not sure if this helps, maybe add a screenshot of the folder build up?

Hello Jg1976, I never owned any Genelec speakers (I do like the appearance), but I remembered that B&O used them for developing the BeoLab 90s:

They cannot be that bad :-). Regards, Johan

Gents, have you seen this thread: https://forum.beoworld.org/forums/topic/beolab-5-when-you-need-help-with-your-ice-module/ from Beobuddy? It was posted just before the site change, maybe you missed it.

Hi Valve1 – great to see this nice machine alive again! I love mine because it has that special BM1900 wedge shape, and comes with full touch control, remote control (even 2-way is possible), powerlink and speaker outputs, loads of inputs, datalink, connectable to ML/NL through 1611 and BLC. I had it completely overhauled too. And I treated it with a BeoTooth 5500 :-). It is in storage now but a keeper for sure. Regards, Johan

Great to hear these batteries also work with you! My Beo6 is keeping power well, though also not much in use yet (as I struggle to get the (Mac/VMware/CT6.84 powered) configuration loaded into it). Once I get that fixed I hope to report more about battery levels.

Hi Madskp, I think one or two posts got lost :-). Good plan and minimum of boxes! I now have one compatible IR eye, two freshly powdercoated BL7-4s and will get a BLC on Saturday. In my garage project I will make sure that I feed the 7-4s only with L and R signals respectively. I will do so in a double RJ45 wall outlet, keeping one socket fully wired, and one L or R.

A key difference between BS5/BM5 and BS5E is that BS5E has no (MasterLink) multiroom capabilities.

Hi ChristianHak, also that honeycomb pack is very nicely made! Respect.

Now I need to find a bad BG4002 :-). Johan
