Hi guys,

I have just removed my BeoSound 5 / BeoMaster from my home system as I will be having another audio source soon. My set-up has previously consisted of BV11-55, BS5/BM5 and a BeoLab 3500 in another part of the ground floor. As I have removed the BS5/BM5 the BeoLab 3500 has stopped working and I cannot figure out what is wrong. I have tried a couple of things in the menu of the BeoLink Ml/NL converter without any luck. The BeoLab 3500 is no longer showing the time and will not react on any IR-inputs.

Can anyone please advise what role the BeoLink Converter should have? AV Master, Audio Master, Video Master, Audio Slave or Source Center?

I have set the TV to VM 2. Is this correct?

Thanks a bunch,

Best regards,


Frederik

Think your problem is that you have no power source on the ML side, since your BS5 is removed.

You need a B&O power box.

I have one for sale if you are interested Smile

Hi Hiort,

That sounds plausible Smile Can you PM me the details?

Can anyone confirm that this might be the solution?

I’m sure that is the solution. I had a similar setup. The Bv11 do not power the Masterlink.

You connect the power box to the NL/ML converter.

Will pm the details.

Hello Beoberg and others. Did the power box got it to work?

I am very interested in the answer. Thank you very much :)

No Audio or Video Master in the ML chain; the Powerbox is mandatory to let it work.

So only a BS3500 or BL Passive (used as ML device; not as solemnly an amplifier) or BL2000 than the Powerbox is mandatory.

Yes. I had that confirmed from Beoberg since he purchased the power box from me Smile

Thank you. I also need a master

I don't think my Beovision 8 can work as a master, also I want to let it work without the BV8.

Now I need to find a power box - where can I buy it? In Denmark or on ebay? Or maybe second hand?

I bought mine from my B&O dealer.
