Hello,
Can somebody , please , help me to find out the serial transfer protocol between a beolink passive and a beosound 9000 ( mk1 ) ? ( how manu start bits, address bits , function bits ( ex: volume ), stop bits ?)
Also : is there a compatibility list for the beolink passive with / between the B&O units ? or issues with beolink passive not functioning with some devices ?
I have a beosound 9000 , that works ok with a mcl / ml convertor beolink box , but does not work with a regular beolink passive box ( with which it worked before )
Any help would greatly be appreciated, thank you.
Adrian
Adrian,
A Warm Welcome to Beoworld..
Firstly, you don't need to know the MasterLink protocol which is very complex to resolve your problem.
Any B&O product which has a Masterlink socket (See diagram below) will all work with all the basic functions.
Your BeoSound 9000 will work when connected using a standard MasterLink cable between it and the Beolink Passive.
