Hi
From other treats I have read that I can update my Beolab 3500 SW 1.1 to 3.33 by changing a PCB board. Where can I buy this board, and is it easy to change?

Maybe worth to know which update you want? do you really need sw 3.3? It`s the latest update for MLGW compatibility. Or do you want N.MUSIC and N.RADIO instead of PHONO and A.TAPE2 shown in the display?
Maybe someone has a sw 2.X chip, who doesn`t need it because he just upgraded to 3.X...?

I understand it has to be the sw 3.3 if I what to activate a.aux on the Beosound 4 from the Beolab 3500.
Mogens.
Hi.
Well It looks simple.
Mogens
It is - but not sure where to get the new 3.3 s/w. I'm also keen to get MLGW support on some 3500s I have.
I am also interested very much. My dealer wanted to have approx. 400€ for the rebuilding

Hi,what are the benefits of added MLGW compatibility for the Beolab 3500? Is every Beolab 3500 usable as a powerlink speaker with the update?
TWG:Hi, what are the benefits of added MLGW compatibility for the Beolab 3500?
Thank you. Is there an opportunity to let a Beolab 2000 receive light and control signals with the MLGW, too?
I don't now if my answer is relevant to your question:
Asked my dealer a while ago (again) if my Beolab 2000 could be upgraded to accept 'A.AUX' from the IR-command. This time he contacted B&O and told me: there is no software update availlable for the Bl 2000 as it was with the BL 3500.
So I keep on pushing my bedrooms BV 3 into A.AUX and then walk to my bathroom to push the 'ON' button of my Bl 2000 in the bathroom.
Keeps my health in shape

Thanks Chris, for the B&O fitness tips ;-)
I know that the Beolab 2000 are old, but it would be nice to upgrade their functionality. I guess there are more than enough of them sitting some where in homes waiting to arrive in the 21st century. :-)

There is a tv - and there is a BV

I really have to make some time changing the configuration of my ML and use the line-in of my new NL/ML converter. This would reduce all those steps to activate the sound coming from my Mac mini on the BL2000.Removing the Mac mini from A-AUX on the BS3200, and configure the Mac mini on the NL/ML converter line-in input to VMEM (would be V-Tape button for the BL2000). And best of all, it would perhaps upgrade sound on the ML chain, putting one section (BS3200) out of this chain. I guess Line-in on the NL/ML converter injects the analog signal more or less directly into the ML-cable.
beolion:Hi Does anyone know which commands the bl3500 and 2000 accept with the different versions? Ie a.aux, v.mem, dtv etc

Keith has already given the answer and info about the latest actual SW3.3 for the beolab 3500 including the commands, take a look at the old forum http://archivedarchivedforum2.beoworld.org/forums/t/36474.aspx
SW1.1 is till today still the actual software for the Beolab 2000, witch means there is no A-AUX button.
I am sure that B&O could bring the BL2000 to the same level as the BL3500, but age of the appliance and part price for the complete renewal of the PCB1 board, would not be a commercial step for the factory and to costly for customers. The microcomputer is located on PCB1, witch is a main board in the BL2000, as the microcomputer PCB36 in the BL3500 is only a small part.
I am using a BEO4, witch gives me the possibility to use all the normal buttons for daily use (tv, radio, V-mem, A-mem, dvd…). But I cannot use any of the added commands, as is A-Aux.
Listening to A-Aux is only possible with pushing the play-button on the BL2000 or mute-button on the BEO4, but A-Aux must already being started and playing somewhere in the ML link.
Hope to be of some help.
