I edited my previous message with a detailed procedure.
Other point: I would delete or hide the sources of the 9000 in the V1 screen and vice-versa.

Assuming that you do not use the 2 product simultaneously (I know nothing about the Almando product):
1: Create a zone for the 9000 and another one for the V1
2: Move the V1 zone under the 9000 one, so that the 2 zones are considered to be in the same room.
3: Add the 9000 and it’s speakers to the 9000 zone
3b: Set the 9000 to option 1 (right-click on the product’s picture to get the sub-menu, it might be the case as there are 2 sub-zones in the setup)
4: Add the V1 in it’s zone
4b: Set it to option 1
5: Add the logos, etc for each product and go to following screens.
Then, you can pass from one system to another by changing the zone.
Regards,
Yann.

Location: Brittany, FranceMy B&O Icons:FOUNDER MemberHi Bo,
Since my 50s are connected to a Theatre through Powerlink, I prefer to avoid any potential conflict between PL and DPL.
And to be honest, I didn’t notice the DPL output on the Core.
That’s the consequence of the lack of documentation available on the B&O “help” part of their site.
I really miss the detailed and complete paper guides which were previously available.
Because the skeletal FAQs with 2 or 3 items offered now is of no help for complex questions.
Regards,
Yann.
Location: Brittany, FranceMy B&O Icons:FOUNDER MemberHi,
I have a similar problem with my setup which includes Core and BL50s.
I suppose that you feed the Core through it’s optical input and assume that the Core’s toslink input has the same limitations.
Here is an explanation found in the Beolab 50 technical guide:
13.10 Optical input not working
The Optical input will not accept sampling rates above 96 kHz due to unreliability of an optical digital audio connection at higher sampling rates.
Regards,
Yann.

Thank you very much.
Private message sent.

Location: Brittany, FranceMy B&O Icons:FOUNDER MemberHi Johan,
I have an orphan MMC4000 that I cannot use on my Beogram 6006 and would be happy to get a home for it’s retirement.
Just tell me 🙂
Thanks,
Yann.

Location: Brittany, FranceMy B&O Icons:FOUNDER MemberThanks for your kind help.
Yann.
Location: Brittany, FranceMy B&O Icons:FOUNDER MemberThanks.
Same settings here.
I deleted the Core in the app and added it again.
With the same settings as before, it works as expected. Strange.
It makes my Halo much more easy to use.
Kind regards,
Yann.
Location: Brittany, FranceMy B&O Icons:FOUNDER MemberThanks.
That’s what I have but it does not work.
I rebooted the Core several times without success.
My 50s input selection is set to Automatic. Is it so in your setup?

Yann.

The triangular belt and a lot of electronic parts can be found at Danish Sound Parts.

Location: Brittany, FranceMy B&O Icons:FOUNDER MemberHi,
Could you post screenshots of the settings related to Optical in the app?
As you I have a Beosound Core and the 50s are connected as follows:
Optical to the Core
Coaxial to a Wiim Pro+
Powerlink to Beovision Theatre

Location: Brittany, FranceMy B&O Icons:FOUNDER MemberBeing a Mozart product, the Theatre does not give a direct access to my ML sources (I do not find the “join” workaround very practical) .
The Core does through the ML/NL converter.
Yann.
Location: Brittany, FranceMy B&O Icons:FOUNDER MemberHi and thank you.
Already done, but it does not work.
BL 50s input is set to Automatic as I use several sources:
-
<li style=”list-style-type: none;”>
- Powerlink for the Beovision Theatre,
- Coaxial for Wiim Pro Plus,
- Optical for Beosound Core.
I wonder if the USB A on the Core is an USB audio output that I could connect to the 50s.
Kind regards,
Yann.

Location: Brittany, FranceMy B&O Icons:FOUNDER MemberHi Mark,
I unmounted the carriage to check it one more time.
A the rear of the assembly, the voice coil seems to be connected to a metallic pin which slides in a sort of screw that you can see on the picture.
The rear party of the pin seemed to move to the side and touch the plastic support of the detection arm.
After centering the pin, the problem seems to be partially solved, as LPs are correctly read.
I said partially because small 45 rpm discs still skips. As I rarely listen to these, I will not go further until there is a problem with LPs.
Thanks for your help and useful tips.
Kind regards,
Yann.

Some progress in understanding following your last suggestions.
First I observed the lowering of the arm (“Descent” video, sorry for the quality). I seems to descend deep enough.
Then I checked the tracking force with an electronic gauge (bought new for the testings) and noticed some oddities:
- After the arm has finished it’s lowering, the tracking force is not sufficient. But if I give a little tap on the turntable, the tracking force meets the required one (“tracking force” video).
- At the end of a disc with spaced grooves, the arm skips. But if I blow strongly on the arm, it moves again to the end and goes in parking position (blow video).
- If I blow or tap at the beginnig of this disk, the arm does not skip on spaced grooves.
Could there be something that ‘holds back’ the arm during its descent, preventing it from pressing on the disc with the correct tracking force?
Blowing on the arm at the beginning of each disc is not a very beo-ish and practical practice!!
Kind regards,
Yann

Location: Brittany, FranceMy B&O Icons:FOUNDER MemberHi Mark,
I’m rather worried to touch this setting.
First the screw is not easy to reach, second it has never been touched since factory and everything was OK until my desastrous attempt to bring the turntable to service position: I forgot to push the chassis to the right and of course, the arms suffered:
- The detection arm broke. I glued it and I think that the problem is solved as the beginning and the end of the disk are detected.
- I did not notice anything on the reading arm, but obviously something went wrong.
Here are the checks and settings already done:
- The platter is flush with the aluminium panel,
- The arms are 23 mm to the aluminium part of the platter,
- Tracking force is 1,2 g, measured with an electronic gauge.
In some cases, the reading of the disk from the beginning works well and if I do not cue to another song it goes to the end without difficulty. In other cases not.
I already posted a video showing that “tapping” on the chassis makes the arm move again. Today I noticed that blowing a bit hard near the cartridge has the same effect.
The end of the disk is more problematic. I noticed that when the grooves of the disk are more widely spaced, the cantilever goes far to the left but the arm does not move, so the stylus skips… until I blow. Then the arm moves again, first to the center, then back to parking position.
Could it be something in the lowering of the arm which in some cases does not go down far enough? And what could I check?
Kind regards,
Yann.
