And enjoy watching :-). Regards, Johan

Hi Daniel, wow that sounds like a success!

To your questions:

1. there does not seem to be an ‘L-CD’ virtual button for the Beo4 button unfortunately (see the lexicon here: https://bangolufsenassistentgohe.blob.core.windows.net/manuals/APPS_AND_ACCESSORIES/BEO4_(W._NAVIGATION_BUTTON)/beo4-navbutton_lexicon_multilanguage.pdf)
2. will it help to add the L-A.AUX virtual button under LIST? (I am not sure if all types of Beo4 have this though).
3. after storing (with S.STORE) the right volume settings in both the Ouverture and the BeoLink Active for the best listening experience,  you could try to put your BeoLink Active in option 6. My hope is then that both devices will react to normal Beo4 commands, as the IR receivers will accept remote control commands simultaneously. There is no need to use a ‘LINK’ prefix anymore, and it will also mean that you will listen to all speakers. Maybe worth a try?

Hope it helps! Regards, Johan

Hi Beos, you could contact forummember Beobuddy, who is quite experienced in this. He is in Utrecht, Netherlands. Regards, Johan

Sorry, my impatience made me click too many times, perhaps a moderator can take away two posts? Thanks! Johan

What a place!

I guess he did not have the time yet:

This Kravitz art is what I found in an old BeoWorld post.

Hello BeoZip, I think they are very nice! Were they sandblasted? [edit – you wrote that. Anyway,] I like the texture.

Hello Tavast, that sounds like a good deal! I like the word ‘capsules’ :-), they must feel full of power even only lifting them.

Looking forward to seeing more, Johan

Hi Paul, welcome! Don’t worry, BeoWorlders are kind people, usually 🙂

It would appear to me as a specific hotel version of the BeoRemote One, looking at the temperature and fan buttons. BtB meaning ‘business to business’ maybe?

Special find! Regards,

Johan

Nice, keep us posted! 😀

Theoretically you could directly ‘split’ the audio signal from the Ouverture, the only thing is then, that you cannot control how loud the 7-1 plays vs. the 2500s of the Ouverture.

With the IR controlled Active between the Ouverture and the 7-1 you can control the volumes independently, or even play the speakers separately. The only thing you need to be aware of is that the IR receivers of both the Active AND the Ouverture might react to remote control commands simultaneously (when they are in the same room). This could be managed by putting the Active in Option 4 and by using the LINK ‘pre-fix’ when controlling it. To help crack the nut!

Regards,

Johan

Hi Daniel, good news! You do not need any ‘mixer’. The PowerLink cable contains both L&R signals, and the 7-1 is a stereo speaker. One PowerLink cable from the Active to the 7-1 is enough. You do need an IR eye connected to the Active to (independently) control the volume for the 7-1.

Note that you will not achieve any ‘surround sound center’ effect: the 7-1 will exactly play the same stereo sound as the Ouverture.

Hope this helps! Regards, Johan

Hi, I bought a truly as new BeoCom 6000 mk2 handset, to use daily. It must have been rarely used: the texture of the back cover feels really new, and the white texts on the buttons is really white still. I put a new battery in it and it works fine.

Happy with it!

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

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?

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.

Let us know how you move on 🙂
