I'm looking to connect a Beovision 7 to a Beolab 7 speaker and 2 beolab 6000 speakers.
and connect the speakers to a Beocenter 9300.
Do I need a Beolink Active or a Beolink converter or is there an easier way.
I was going to connect the masterlink cable from the TV to the converter and then power link the speakers.
is this the right way to do it?
thank you for any help you can give.
best wishes
Paul

All speakers to Beovision.

Converter via Masterlink to TV and Audio Aux Link to BeoCenter.

Search for Masterlink Handbook PDF to read about how to set up everything.

Best regards

Hi Ralf

Thank you for your quick reply.

I've tried connecting the 6000's directly to the TV and I can see them in the sound menu, I get the background noise and the power lights go green but when I leave the set up menu they don't power up and no sound comes out when the TV is on.

Then Beolab 7 works fine and is connected to the centre out put.

best regards

Hi Paul,

 

try selecting 'Speaker 2' for both BL6000 only or 'Speaker 3' for BL600s and BL7 as center speaker.

It should work now. You should now be able to select 'Default Audio' and 'Default Video' with the speaker configuration you want as default for both modes.

All working.

Very exciting.

Now waiting for the converter and Masterlink cable to get the 9300 working with all the speakers.

Thank you very much

Spoke too soon.

I can either get the 6000's working or the 7.2 central speaker working but not both at the same time.

I can hear them in the sound set up but when I leave and switch to the TV only one set work.

any ideas

Ok here we have the problem: You use a Belab 7.2 which is a stereo speaker connected to Front R/L.

You need a special adapter cable to connect the BeoLab 7.2 to the center Powerlink connector of your Beovision 7. It should be available at Soundheavenly (see Steve's ad down at the bottom of the page).

Your beolab 6000 should then be connected to the Front R/L powerlink connector of the BV7.
