Dear members,
I have a couple of questions that will probably be easy to answer. However, I couldn't find it out myself.
1) How can one adjust the standard volume of the Beomaster 7000? It can easily be done on the Avant, but the manual seems quiet about how to adjust the starting volume of the Beomaster.
2) I have a masterlink connection between Beomaster 7000 and the Avant. I also have a MCL connection to a link room.
a) Can I listen to the same source simultaneously through the Avant and through the speakers that are connected to the MCL2AV? I figured out yes, but: when I turn the Beomaster off and everything goes to standby, then a considerable noise can be heard through the Pentas (that are connected to the Avant) for a short time (less then a second) shortly before they turn off. This only happens sometimes, not always, but I do not want to try it out multiple times since the noise doesn't sound healthy. And of course it doesn't happen when I either play the linkroom product OR the mainroom rpoduct. Only happens after they were played simultaneously and everything is supposed to go to standby at the same time. Any ideas where that comes from or how to deal with the issue? Can it hurt any of the components?
b) How can I put components to standy one after another? I have never figured this our. When listening for example to the Beogram CD and then switching to the Beocord, the CD player is still active and not on standyby. Is there a way to put the Beogram CD to standby before switching to the Beocord without turning the Beomaster off in the meatime? Same applies to the situation under a) (when the linkroom product and the mainroom product are in the same room). When both are played at the same time, is there a way to put them in standy one after another without turning the Beomaster off?
Any comments highly appreciated.
Greetings,
Kai
I was meanwhile able to figure put the answer to 1). There was an old thread about it. Setting volume level, then sound store store on the Beolink 1000 seems to work.
Manually, it is easy to turn the Beogram CD or any other source into standy without switching the Beomaster off, but I don't know how it works via remote control, if so at all.
Cheers.

I think it is not possible. Or I am stupid like you Kai

Thanks Jacques. Maybe using "Control"? I mean, it has to be possible to turn off a link room product and the main room product - if both are played at the same time - one after another, which is essentially the same task, isn't it?
Cheers,
I meant the Control command on the Beolink 7000. Isn't it meant for purposes like that, i.e. controlling other sources that are not currently played? No solution here? Greetings, Kai
I remember from those days, that I used the 'control' function to rewinding a tape (V or A) in order to find
The right position for a recording, when still watching tv or listening to radio/cd.
The CD will (if my memory serves me well) auto-turn off after a while, when you have switched to another source.
Pushing the red dot short turns off the source in the linkroom, or e.g. the tv in the mainroom with an audio source still playing in the link room.
Holding it for a couple of seconds turns everything into standby.

There is a tv - and there is a BV
Thanks Millemissen,
with the red dot you mean the standby dot on the Beolink 7000? Any idea why I got that noise from the Pentas connected to the Avant when everything turned off at the same time? Your comment implies that this should well be possible. Ok, I should mention that I was playing the same source through main room and link room speakers. Didn't sound healthy anyway.
'Red dot' = Standby.
As I read it, it was veeery short - less than 1 second is veeery short. I have no idea!
??? "under a) (when the linkroom product and the mainroom product are in the same room)." ??? How is your setup exactly?
If you sit in the main room (with speakers on the tv) and listen to a cd, that is also playing in the link room,
pushing Standby turns off the cd-sound (and the tv) in the main room.
The sound in the linkroom (and the BS7000) can be turned off with a long push from the main room, or - of course - from the link room as well with a 'short' push.
You can find the user guide of the BL7000 on the B&O website under Product Support.
Ah, I see. That doesn't work in my case then.
My - admittedly complicated - setup is as follows:
Beosystem 7000 in Option 0 and Avant in Option 2 connected via Master Link - speakers connected to Avant.
Additionally: LCS 7000 in Option 4 connected to Beomaster 7000 via MCL2AV using the MCL out and MCL cable. Further speakers connected to MCL2AV.
So, the audiomaster and the LCS 7000 (infrared eye) are in the same room. Therefore, when I press the red dot, all speakers immediately go to standby (there is no Link - Standby command as far as I'm aware of).
The idea was that depending on my sitting position, I can change the speakers that I play the music through. This is actually possible and works quite nicely. The only thing that doesn't comfort me is how I can separately turn components off without simultaneously turning all others off. Due to the way things are set up my guess is that your trick won't work in my case...
Isn't there something to clip onto a BEO4 to focus the range/direction so that this would be avoided? You can then keep both IR receivers in the same room but have to be a bit more accurate when you point them at what you want to operate.
Dave.
Thanks for the hint. Sounds possible. Not ideal though. Hard to imagine that B&O hasn't thought about this "problem".
It A range reducer, fits over the eye end of the remote, suppliers have 'em - I have one in use and it works fine!!

That's what I meant but couldn't think of the name! Also on eBay sometimes.
