The 3500 is obviously in contact with the black box that is connected to the AUX on the Beomaster 7000. It says Power Link and Audio Aux link on the two din connections, respectively. I noticed this when I corrected the time on the television screen, wghich is apparently not on the same clock as the Beomaster. This was after I switched the DIN from Power Link to Audio Aux link, and I can now get sound on the 3500 upstairs, switching it on and off with the B1000, but I cannot start the system from there, neither shut it down. The CX in the kitchen start on radio, phono, CD, tape, and computer (via tape 2), and so do the active speakers in the bedroom, but the Pentas in the main don't. They light up, but stay silent, until I unplug the MCL Then the Pentas play radio and phono, but the CD and computer make no sound at all, and neither does the tape. Earlier today I tried to transfer old tape recordings to Adobe audition, but the sound does not seem to feed into the computer, like it has done before. Maybe I should mention that the CD is a non.B&O. So grateful for your taking an interest in my problems! I have tried shutting the system down, unplugging everything, and plugging things in in different order. Some years ago, mice had gnawed the wires in the attic, and I had a technician from B&O over to solder that and check the system. They don't come cheap, I can tell you that. So I really appreciate your input here!

Ok many things going wrong it sound like, but it may be related to one single thing. To get a better understanding of your system I have made this little sketch. SOme og the things I am unsure of is the role of the television you mention and if the Beolab Pentas are connected to that. or to the Beomaster 7000? Login to view image The black box you do mention is called a Beolink converter probably type 1611. If my assumption of how your system is connected is somewhat correct I will suggest that you try to isolate the problem. I think we should not take the CD player and PC connection into account at first as these problems might be affected by link issues. Before every step power off all components in the system to avoid anything breaking in the proces:

• Disconnect the the Powerlink wire between the BM7000 and the Beolink Converter. This is only nessecary for certain situation and testing what is wrong can be done without it, so better leave this disconnected. Verify if the problems persist?
• Disconenct the AAL wire between the BM7000 and the Beolink Converter do the Bedroom, Kitchen and Pentas work now?
• If not now disconnect the MCL wire and connect the AAL wire again and see if the BL3500 and the Pentas work now?
