Dear members,
I tried to disconnect a MCL cable from the MCL2AV which was connected to a Beomaster 7000. The Beomaster 7000 is connected through the 1611 converter to an Avant. When disconnecting the cable, I didn't cut power from the Beomaster (Standby) and suddenly I heard a couple of clicking noises and the Beomaster standby light went on and off. Thereafter the Beomaster 7000 was completely dead. No standbylight whatsoever. After disconnecting from power and reconnecting, the standby light was on again and I was able to play music. However, the volume went up and down repeatedly. As a consequence, I had the Beomaster 7000 serviced by die_Bogener (thanks Martin!) who couldn't reconstruct that fault because of a lack of equipment to test the data link-1611-masterlink connection. After bringing the Beomaster back to my place - same fault. So I played around a little and discovered the following:
Pentas connected to Avant without using Masterlink - works fine
Pentas connected to Beomaster - works fine
Pentas connected to Avant and playing CD through data link, 1611 and master link - fault
What could this be? Cables? Converter 1611? Data link out of the Beomaster?
I'm a bit clueless. Any ideas highly appreciated.
Thanks very much!
Cheers,
Kai
Any ideas? My suspicion and hope is that the Beolink 1611 converter is at fault.
Just in case anybody has a similar problem: it was the Beolink 1611 converter. New converter, everything works as it should.
Cheers!
Nice - but I'd like to ask anyway!
In which order did you connect the devices to the mains?
Normally you have to connect the 1611 as the last device - because it auto-detects how it will be used.

There is a tv - and there is a BV
You can ask questions ;-) In this case, I connected the Beomaster 7000 last. It didn't cause any confusion and works as it should. Beforehand, I can't remember, but it used to work until I disconnected the MCL cable from the MCL2AV which in turn was connected to the Beomaster 7000. Strange fault this is and nobody had a reylly good explanation for what as happened. Apparently the 1611 is an easily damageable device.
Greetings,
