Hi,
I have Beosound 9000 connected to a BeoVision 11 via an NL/ML converter, all in the same room. Only the TV has speakers. I can select link->CD on the TV and play CDs and use the Beoremote remote to control the 9000.
Question is: with the TV off, and I start CD playback from the 9000 directly (via a button), can I have the TV turn on to provide the speakers? Seems like this should work.
Thank you to our Sponsors
Beolink NL/ML Converter Question

I got this functionality working with a Beocenter 9300 - 1611 converter - NL/ML converter -Beoplay V1 where I could activate the Beoplay V1 with a press on one of the buttons on the BC9300. It was discussed in this thread

https://forum.beoworld.org/forums/topic/beolab-3500-and-1611-converter-settings/page/24/ where the goal was to find out if the same functionality could be had with a MCL2AV with a connected Beogram. The thread might be a littl messy, but I know I had it working. Perhaps the Powerlink connection (and specifically the 'speaker on' signal) helped in this situation. I seem to remember that the Configuration Tool mentions that a PL connection to the BL1611 is required for audio 'front panel volume control' in such a setup. When using just an ML connection there is no 'speaker on' signal that I am aware of, but you would think that the 'data' connection would cover this requirement.Location: Warwickshire, UK

info:
BS3000 - BLC - NL : start cd with button on BS3000 - NL source doesn't start
BS9000 - BLC - NL : start cd with button on BS9000 - NL source doesn't start
BS7000 - BLC - NL : start cd with button on BG CD7000 - NL source doesn't start this evening (but I'm not sure this was the same before I powered everything down this afternoon, but forgot the Beosystem 7000 and the T1611 (which I restarted later on))
I will do a proper reset lateron.
I have just tried now with Besound Ouverture (A.opt. 0) - NL/ML converter - Beoplay V1 (V.opt. 2)
The setup of the NL/ML converter is as follows:
Pressing CD on the BS Ouverture starts the Beoplay V1 and the music is playing through it's speakers. So it works, at least with the Ouverture.
I have quick start timers activated on the Beoplay V1, not sure if that makes any difference, but just for the full picture.
I might be able to do some more testing later in the week with other music system, and also with a Beoplay M3 as the NL source to see if that works just as well.

I have Timers off, let me try changing that to see if it changes anything.
