I´ve just got an old Beomaster 5000, and I have connected one speaker set to my living room, and one to the kitchen (hard wired straight into the Beomasters speaker set 1 and 2). Is there any way to choose which set of speakers that are active (today both sets are playing all the time).

 

Thanks.

Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to Beoworld.

Just to check, you mean this system ? ==> http://www.beoworld.org/prod_details.asp?pid=353

Ideally you should get a link room interface so that the link room can be controlled and muted.

You should be able to mute the main room as well.

What remote control are you using ?

You can mute speaker set #1, but not #2.  So decide which set (living room, kitchen) you wouldn't mind playing all the time, and use the speaker set #2 outputs for it.

That´s my system, yes. I´m using Master control panel 5000.

Thanks. That helps a lot. It would of course be nice to mute the second set as well... :)

Are you sure ?

I thought if he got one of these ==> http://www.beoworld.org/prod_details.asp?pid=971

then he would be able to mute speaker set  #2 in the link room.

I think speaker set  #2 is always "on" because it expects the other end to have the remote control panel with its on/off, mute, and timer buttons,

That's it exactly. The MCL82 will give you control from your link room and works very well.
