Afternoon all
couple of questions
my setup is BV7-40 main room, Overture(pentalabs) in dinning area, Lab2000 kitchen and bathroom and a BV7-32 in the bedroom
for reasons I wont bore you with I want to change the overture to a BM7000 ( just bought a black one!)
first question, I am correct in thinking I will need a ML/MCL converter and this will just plug in and work seamlessly.
did I dream then other link boxes will do the same job ?
second
at the moment to work the BV7-40 I press v-tape ( I think) but what ever I press the same button to work the BV7-32 upstairs, no "link" first or anything, BUT when I press CD nothing happens, yet pressing CD on the Lab2000 works fine, so its not wiring, its options I guess, what option should the BV7-32v be in ??
third...anyone got a nice black gram(LP) 7000 they don't want, one on ebay for £600 !

First question already answered - so second:
Seems your BV7-32 is in videomaster mode too. Try V.OPT 6 for BV7-32, V.OPT 2 for BV7-40 (main BV with main speakers/Pentas connected) and BM7000 A.OPT 0 (connected via audio aux link - BL converter - ML to BV7-40).
If your Pentas are connected to BM7000 set audio system to A.OPT 2 and BV7-40 to V.OPT 0.
If you prefer a separated audio/video system set the main room to A.OPT 1 and V.OPT 1 (requires speakers connected to BV too).
BTW: Set all Link systems (BL2000) to L.OPT 6.
Hope this helps
Third question: sorry, no. I have two black/alu BG7000 in nice condition, but this won`t help you...

"Try .... V.OPT 2 for BV7-40 (main BV with main speakers/Pentas connected) and BM7000 A.OPT 0 (connected via audio aux link - BL converter - ML to BV7-40)."
If you have that setup, you will probably want to think about upgrading the software in your BM7000 to version 1.3. Then it would be possible to use a Beolink 7000 in 2-way mode while the BM70000 is set to A.OPT 0.
