Hey just a quick question, I have an Avant DVD in a link room, ML linked to BV4/BS2 in main room, how can I get to view/control the DVD in the main room?

Thanks Smile

you need to set the avant up as the master and use the rf out on the rear and use co-ax cable to the main room!  this also means you may suffer a small loss of quality? Do you have a sky box on the tv in the main room?

Yeah the BV4/BS2 has a Sky box on it.

RF out no problemo, however how do I get the Avant as Master, I have BV4 in main room as v.opt 2 and the Avant in link room as v.opt6?

And when the Avant is Master, do I have to put Beomedia1 into the Avant or can that still go into the BV4/BS2?

I can't remember which option is which ( i think the avant needs to be option 1 and your bv4 now option 6 ??)  basically the avant needs to be the video master to distribute dvd I am not sure how the dtv/sat will work either now the avant is master?  I am sure someone who will know exactly what is what will be along in a while...

 

Cheers Nick

HI,

To make your Avant the video master and the BS2/BV4 video slave you have to swap the settings.

Avant: v.Opt2, BS2/BV4: V.Opt6.

In this configuration you can distribute alle sources of the Avant over ML. To be able to use BM across your ML network, you will have to reconnect it to the Avant.

Do you have RF cable linking the two sets together also? MasterLink cable does not carry video signals, only audio and data...
