Hi,
I just got an BV 10-46 in replacment of my AV9000 , my BL8000 snd BL6000 from the AV9000 setup are hooked up to the BV10 and work fine.
Now I thought I could connect a BeoSound5 to the BV 10 using a masterlink cable and get the sound from the Labs connected to the BV10.
Could you help me configure this setup??
It's my first time usage of masterlink.
Connect a ML Cable between the BV10-46 and the BM5
On the BS5 dial lever to settings. Do not press a button
Then press > < > < Go to get into Maintenance Menu
Lever to Roles
Audio Mater - Yes
AM Option 0/0
Decide on N.Music/CD to start HDD on BM5 (Beo4 command)
Decide on N.Radio/Radio for BS5 Radio (Beo4 command)
That should be it. However, to ensure, press Stby and List together on Beo4.
Scroll Through Add/Move/Remove to Option
Press Go
Select A.Opt - Set to 2 on BV10-46
Select V.Opt - Set to 2 on BV10-46 (may not be required)
Exit
Beolab 28s Beolab 9s Beolab 12-3s Beolab 1s Beolab 6000s 2 pairs Beolab 4000s Beovision 7-55 Beovision 10-40 Beoplay V1 32 inch Beovision Avant 32 inch Beosound 1 (CD player) Beosound 3000 Beosound 5 Core Essence MKII Beoplay M5
the BS5 needs A.Opt 0 to not react on IR signals, this will be handled by the BV10. But it also has to be set to 'Audiomaster = Yes'.
The Audiomaster setting defines it's role in the masterlink system. If you own a BS900 for example, the BS9000 is the Audiomaster and an additional BS5 has to 'give up' it's role as Audiomaster in the system. If you don't utilize another audio system in your master link system then the BS5 has to be an Audiomaster!
So you should set your system to standby and then set the V.OPt 2 (for the TV, it should blink if set successful), then A.Opt 0 for the BS5 and in the settings of the BS5 'Audiomaster = Yes' as stated in the first reply by 'Mr. 10 Percent'.

gerard:When in StandBy, using Radio or A.Mem or CD on the Beo4 has the same action: after 5 seconds comes clicking relay sound from BV10, then during 2 seconds fan noise on BV10, then after 10 seconds new clicking relay sound from BV10. All BL leds stay red BS5 is not starting.

removed, to enthousiast clicking

gerard:starting it from the BS5 should bring the BeoLabs up, even when they are not connected to the BM5?
Booting a Masterlink system should be done in the following sequence:
- Power off all devices
- Disconnect every Masterlink device from the Masterlink cables
- Set al the V.OPT, A.OPT and L.OPT settings
- connect every Masterlink device to the Masterlink cables.
- Connect the Video Master device (if it exists in this setup) (which is the case here ) to the mains and power it up.
- wait about 2 minutes
- Connect the Audio Master device to the mains and power it up.
- Connect one Link device and power it up
- repeat the last two steps until all Link devices are connected
Now the BS5 should be usable via it's own controls and the sound should come from the speakers connected to the TV.
This afternoon you started both devices and connected the masterlink afterwards! This could cause the errartic behvour.
Hmm the picture doesn't show something wrong, they should be ok.
All necessary connections are doen internally in the junction box:
- white-blue and pink are connected
- the two outer pairs on every side are all connected with each other (use for the shielding and ground wires)
So no need to set a special cross wire or jumper. Just matching the masterlink wires to the corresponding connection (colour).
Did you connect the masterlink cables to the components _before_ final power-up sequence or after the power-up? This should be done before the power-up!
And as Razlaw said: Try a single masterlink cable to connect the BM5 and the BV10. Just to make sure that your masterlink cable and the junction boxes don't make the trouble. Try one ML cable, even if its just for testing.
Changing the HD to an SSD in the BM5 doesn't have to do with the Masterlink cabling! This change doesn't have an influence on the function of the masterlink bus BUT unplugging could damage the cable, plug, socket or junction boxes
It's working,
My BV10-46 has indeed Standby Settings , Power Saving Mode was switched ON, switching it OFF brings the BLs up when using the hardware buttons of the BS5.
Thank you so much for your help.
Having someone answering my questions and searching with me gave me the motivation to keep on trying to find a solution.
Thank you Razlaw, RaMaBo, Mr 10Percent
