BS5e; sort of NOT "stand alone"

I changed my B&o Link setup. Now the BS5e is a sort of local source for music.

My setup:

Main: BV7 & BS5 masters: BS5 option 0; sources N.Music changed to A.Mem, N.Radio to Radio

Local: Beoport option 6; Main PC no; Default source PC fully wired powerlink to BL5000

Local same room: BS5e powerlink connected to BL5000 (only Li, Re, earth)

 

Start Windows PC - Beoport PC starts - start the BS5e - you get the music of the BS5e. N.Music/N.Radio are local PC sources

Start A.Mem/Radio on the Windows PC the music of the BS5 is playing. The Beo6 gives access to the BS5 collection

 

Next thing to explore: switch of the BS5 completely. Change the settings of the Beoport (option 2; main PC; default source PC). then I expect that the BS5e can be heard on the BV7 if PC is selected as source.

I was astonished to see the Beosound 5 encore presented in the same room as a Beovision 10 in the last catalogue.

I wonder if this is a possible setup ???

I've seen somewhere here that people were connecting the power link out of the Encore to one power link out (front) of a bv. As long as both systems are not ON at the same time, it's said to work (bs5e controlling beolabs on/off and volume in speaker 2). Hope the BeoNet converter comes soon to avoid that kind of tricks.

Sure, just don't connect the Beovision to the speakers! Guessing it was just the designers/photographers that got a little over-excited.

THIS would be a better way of doing that, I guess... Anybody tried it?
