Hi,
The goal is to use the BL3500 as a standalone. The non-Beo audio goes into the 1611.
Just connected a BL3500 with a 1611 with a ML cable.
BL3500 can start with any source key. But stay no on and canot adjust the volume.
Is something wrong or is this idea no possible ?
Thanks

That sounds like the BL3500 is not getting a 'valid' input.
Try pressing MENU 09 GO and checking that ML is switched on, as described in this post by madskp:

Thanks Guy,
With a new cable it works ! But the sound is coming only when an Video source is selected.
No sound with radio or AAUX or ATAPE2 or ...
PS Yes I was on the old forum. I'm back!!! Thanks
Welcome back!
Yes that's how it will perform with a standard DIN input (pins 3 and 5) to the BL1611's AAL socket - only VIDEO source selection will activate the input.
Have a look at this post (and thread) and you will see that the BL1611 can accept an AUDIO input but only if connected to pins 1 and 4 of the DIN AAL input:
