Hi, I have BeoSound Ouverture/4000 with BeoLab4500 (connected with PowerLink) + BL3500 + BL2000 + BeoLinkPC2 on ML bus. After connecting BeoLink Converter NL/ML BeoSound Ouverture is not Audio Master anymore, I can't selet any audio source on BL3500/2000 . I've changed the role of NL/ML converter to "audio source"  and configured LINE-IN as N.Radio for ML. And the converter is still audio master.... When I disconnect converter from the ML bus everything works again after a minute (I guess master election takes place). The same situation with converter set to slave and Video Master, what am I doing wrong? What I'm trying to achieve: 1. LINE-IN of BeoLink converter NL/ML as N.RADIO for MasterLink devices 2. All ML devices  (CD, AUX, RADIO etc) accessible for NL devices 3. is there any iOS app working as WiFi remote for all ML and NL devices (B&O app in app store is for BeoLink Gateway and does not work with converter...)? I don't have IR-eye for converter, so Ouverture is set to option 2 and BL3500/2000 to option 6. So how to connect this converter to ML bus??   Best regards Adam

I guess theBeolink PC2 is setup as a link room since you dont have ML conflicts with that? Other than that, N.Radio from the NL/ML converter conflicts with the source PHONO (which is the same as N.RADIO) on the Ouverture. My best advice would be to make the line in from the NL/ML converter a Video source to avoid conflicts

Thank you for the answer. Well, BeoLink PC2 isn't fully operational because I'm using it with PowerMac G4 and I have some problems with it (after firmware upgrade from 1.20 to 1.30 I have no sound on phones output). PC2 is able to communicate with directly connected speakers and amplifier, turns it on and off with iTunes starting/closing, but no sound on masterlink and phones output - TBD). So: 1. you suggest to make the converter Video Master and map LINE-IN to one of the Video sources? 2. you said that N.MUSIC conflicts with PHONO source of Ouverture - what is transmitted from Ouverture as PHONO? I have a TV connected to AUX and it's seen as A. AUX on the ML, CD is CD, TAPE i A. TAPE, RADIO is RADIO. so what is PHONO??? I was going to connect my Beogram 3000 also to AUX of Ouverture (with Y DIN-7 connector, port will be shared with TV). Can it be the reason of no sound from PC2 on the bus? Best regards Adam

Update - NL/ML converter works as Video Master (I dont't know why it wasn't working previously configured as V Master), LINE-IN is mapped as PC (standard key on my Beo4 remote) and TV (additional physical button on BL2000) and it streams music from bluetooth receiver. This time PC2 was not connected to the bus, so maybe that's the reason... Is there any way to stream to Ouverture? I tried to turn on TV/PC source on ouverture, but it's not switching to such sources...

Great to hear that you got it working to some extent by changing the NL/ML converter ti V.MASTER.
