Hi all,

Currently I have a standard IR-eye connected to my MCL2AV in my MCL-network.

I want to change the standard eye to a puck with fysic volumebuttons. I've used already the scheme in the ML-handbook, but without any results. With the standard eye the systems works ok, but when I have connected the puck, according to the wiring-scheme, the lights and IR don't work. I know that the pucks are ok, because they work with my Beoport and Beomedia.

Is it possible to use a puck with volumebuttons in a MCL-network and if so, can anyone help me with the wiring-scheme? Thanx in advance.

I know I can't help ... but maybe the Beotech microsite can ?

I have a suspicion you are using an ML puck in an MCL system. There was a similar puck for MCL boxes (very rare!) but I think it was different internally. I am not sure it had a volume setting though.

Thanks Ed and Peter for your reaction.

I have 2 pucks, one with a 7-pins wiring (probably for the Beosystem 2) and indeed a ML-puck with 5 connections.

This evening I have connected the pucks according to Ed's suggestion, without any results. I have also tried other wirings.

I did not know that there was a special puck for a MCL network.

It was a nice thought that a could use the fysic volumebuttons, but I installed the original transceiver. This works also fine. Perhaps I am going to look for the rare puck.

Thanks for the help anyway.

Greetings, Beofan53
