beosound 9000 aux input behavior?

I hooked an airport express to the aux input of my bs9000 and I'm experiencing the following unexpected behavior:

- I cannot control the volume with the beo4 or local control.  I numbers go up and down,  but the sound doesn't change

- I cannot listen to a.aux or a.tape in my link room via a fairly young bs3500.  No mater which source I select, it displays A.MEM and plays no sound

The aux input cable is from B&O, and I have used it with my bs1. I could swear this all worked "normally" (volume worked, could listen in link rooms via a.tape) a few years ago when I had my turntable connected.  

Am I dreaming?   Is this behavior correct?  The bs9000 is a fairly early mk3.

Stan, i'd check the cable - I've exact same setup (airport express into Aux input on BS9000) and works fine including a.mem on both my BL3500's

I actually made my cable myself - old powerlink cable cut in half and fitted a 3.5mm stereo plug to the one end.

That's a strange one. As for cables, I had a weird symptom when, in trying to plug the DIN cable into the Aux In while twisted around half upside down with mine wall mounted and not enough service loop on the cables I rotated the five pin cable into the seven pin plug and somehow managed to get the cable into the plug that way. So the plug wasn't seated right, ground and signal pins were all in the wrong places. I had hum, noise, weird effects, didn't sound like your issue but you might check to make sure it's plugged in correctly. 

I'm curious as to what this turns out to be. BTW mine is an early Mk I I bought back in '98,

Same setup here, BS9000 with on the Aux an Airport Express.

Works fine with the A.AUX instruction.

The only thing I have do each time, is selecting the Airport express icon on the iPad to switch.

Then it appears after choosing the airport express, the volume has to be set to (almost) maximum, before any audio will sound throught the BS9000.

Even in the bathroom with an older ML-Active/MCL2P/IWS2000, it works.

Doh!  I am quite embarrassed to say that I plugged it in to the 2nd PL socket, not the AUX port. I do really hate the bs9000's tiny connection box.

That's how I wound up with the plug rotated in the socket...and just recently putting cables in it on the stand I was cursing the thing. So...yeah.
