Hello guys. I have a question. A friend of mine has a BC2 connected to a BV5 in the main room and two beolink passive for outside speakers and bedroom speakers.
i connected an airport express to the aux in on BC2´s socket unit and from the main room I can select A.AUX. But trying to do so from the link-rooms doesnt make anything.
I have tried adding Phono and tried A.tape also but none of them seems to work, not N.Radio either that someone suggested. Even tried an older Beolink 1000 (shift+radio) did not work either :).
Is the Beolink passive´s firmware just too old? If I start the main room on A.AUX I can then power up the linked rooms so it works but not as good as it could.
Beolab 50, Beolab 8000 x 2, Beolab 4000 x 2, BeoSound Core, BeoSound 9000, BeoSound Century, BeoLit 15, BeoPlay A1, BeoPlay P2, BeoPlay H9 3rd Gen, BeoPlay H6, EarSet 3i, BeoVision Eclipse Gen 2 55", BeoPlay V1-40, BeoCom 6000 and so much else :)

Very likely - BeoLink Passive (or Active) need SW 1.5 (current version is 1.6) to support "A.AUX"

That is a bit strange, but I have heard it before unfortunately. They are just four years old and are installed behind a wall. Is it possible to upgrade them yourself?

SW 1.5 has been released end of the year 2008 - few month after your purchase ...
Michael:Is it possible to upgrade them yourself?
Depends on your skills & tools - you'll have to replace the SW-EPROM .
Can I donload the firmware somewhere and flash the eeprom myself? Seems unneccessary to buy a new chip if I can just read and reprogram :)
Hello

Update the SW of the ML/MCL Converter should fix the problem. Not done yet but I will inform you if I have done the upgrade (done by my dealer)CheersReinhard
Hello,
now I have upgraded my firmware to 1.64 it works.
I have to use LINK SHIFT RADIO to select the A.AUX input of my BC2 from any LINK-Room
The upgrade cost me 120€
Hope this helps
