Hi everybody,
I have a Beosystem 7000 linked to an Avant type 8430. Whenever I turn the Beomaster on, the display of the Pentas (linked to the Avant) shows a volume level of 30, whereas the volume on the Beomaster is 26. Is there a way synchronize this information? I know that two-way doesn't work for volume adjustments (despite software 1.3), but I'd still be glad if at least both sources started at the same levels.
Rgds,
Kai
Then the 'standart' volume of the BM7000 is set to another level as the 'standart' volume of the Avant.
Best way to 'sync' is to set the volume in the settings of the Avant to same as the BM.
! This is not a 'sync', but just adjusting the values to another !
By the way: do you have speakers on the BM as well?
Option settings for both - how?

There is a tv - and there is a BV
Hi Millemissen,
thanks for the answer. All speakers are connected to the Avant. Avant is Option 2 and Beomaster Option 0. How do you adjust the starting volume in the Avant? I think, this is exactly what i was looking for.
Still, the volume levels as displayed by the Pentas and the Beolink 7000 will easily get out of sync when adjusting volume too quickly. This is because the Beolink 7000 gets it's information through the two-way from the Beomaster and the Pentas receive it from the surround module in the Avant. Probably there's no solution for that problem. Anyway, It'd be a good starting point if both started at the identical levels.
I've always liked your positive and encouriging style of writing by the way.
Cheers,
The Avant volume is just via the menu for sound. You then set the volume level you want (loudness on or off too). Set the level, press 'go' and that should be it.
Dave.
Ah, that was very easy. Thanks!
Would you recommend having loudness "On" or "Off"? What are your preferred settings?
And: is there a way of keeping the sound level of the television and the one of the Beomaster the same? I know that it works as long as you adjust volume slowly enough. However, when adjusting volume a little more quickly, the Beomaster won't send the same information as is displayed by the Penta displays.
Greetings,
Loudness on or off is entirely up to your ears. I have it on but others have it 'off'.
I'm not bothered what the display of my Pentas say as long as the volume is what I want it at (by ear). The source is more important to me. The display on my Beolink 7000 always has a long delay to what is on the Penta displays but eventually catches up. Just increase the volume slowly - is it really that bothersome that the Beomaster says one figure and the Pentas another? The Beomaster volume number is so small it's insignificant.

Thanks Kai,
I appreciate reading this - will do my best in the future to live up to your 'roses'

As for the 'loudness issue', plesa try it out to see what suits you best.
If you listen at low volume often, you might enefit from it being on - if you listen mostly at higher volume, it doesn't really atter.
I have turned it off. But I am a quite 'puristc', and tend to listen loud - especially if Miss Mis is away
It seems to me that you have your AudioMaster in Option 1 (or 2) to let it send the ir-respond to your BL7000.
Are you sure that it is in Option 0???
(The Avant does not support 2-way ir).
I can't remember the BM7000 sending anything if in Option 0.
Thus you were controlling 2 systems at one time.
You can't hear anything from the AudioMaster, since all speakers are on the Avant - you just see the volume indication (on the BL7000 and on the Master).
Must be pretty hard (if not impossible) to try to get these values even.
Ever thought of giving up this 'fight'?
Depending on which version of the BL7000 you can program it to be used as a 'one-way remote'.
Together with the BeoMaster in Option 0, you (if my memory serves me well) would always have the same volume level indication on the Pentas (the Avant) and on the BL7000.
Plesase correct me if I am wrong with the 'Option thing'!
Greetings Millemissen
You're welcome! It was just truth spoken out loud. Thanks for all the information!
It is indeed in option 0. Software 1.3 makes it send to the Beolink 7000 in audio mode. However, I was thinking about it more thoroughly after asking the question here and it is now pretty obvious to me that it can never be fully synchronized. If I use the Beo4 remote, only Pentas will adjust the volume level on their displays since the Beomaster doesn't get the corresponding signal and therefore can't send it to the Beolink 7000. However, if I use the Beolink 7000 slowly enough, Penta displays and Beolink 7000 display can correspond to one another. If the adjustment is done too quickliy, Penta displays will be lagging behind... This is probably all due to the sound processing happening in the Avant's Dolby Digital module, preventing the Beomaster to send this information to the Beolink 7000. It's a pity though. I can imagine that it wouldn't have been too difficult technologically to get the information from the Avant to the Beomaster 7000, which in turn would then send it to the Beolink 7000.
Well now - I actually learned something there too.
