Dear all,
My BS 5 is out of order. When it is plugged to the main power, there is just a red LED on the display module. Nothing else happens. I have to open the BeoMaster 5 and try to fix it. But later... No time and no wish yet.
In the meantime, I've taken out my old BS Ouverture and connected it instead of the BS5. But because FM radios (at least in France) play more stupid ads than music, I want to get back the internet radio (TuneIn) I had with my BS5. In my office I have a BS Essence MKII that could do the job.
Is it possible to have the BS Essence sound on the speakers connected to the BV7?
If so, I have a Beolink Converter NL/ML but I can't configure it. Hence this topic.
Here is my configuration so far:
- Living room: BV7 TV --(ML)--> BS5. The speakers are connected to the BV7.
- Office: BS Essence (with a pair of BL4 PL).
These two systems are isolated from each other and have no interaction.
What I have already wired:
BV7 --(ML)--> Beolink Converter NL/ML --(Network Link socket / Ethernet) --> router --(Ethernet) --> BS Essence.
Is this the right way to link the devices together?
What configuration of the BLC / BV7 / BS Essence do you recommend?
Thanks in advance.
Christophe

Additionally...
With the second hand BLC I have brought there is a ML Power Box (8052447).
Don't know what is it job and if it can help in my configuration.
Maybe this will help:

You do not need a ML Power Box there.

Thanks MM.
The BLC manual I got was too old and had 5 examples, not more!
I'll try this example #6 settings and give my feedback.
Unfortunately, when I press RADIO on the Beo4 controlling the BV7, nothing happens.
My settings:

You have two commands going to TuneIn….maybe that is the problem:

Sorry for confusing you. My first unsuccessful try was with only RADIO then after I added A.MEM to confirm. I tried with A.MEM alone too.
I red in the BLC manual (for example #3, page 30) to select option 6 for the BV7. But nothing about option in example #6... So, I didn't change anything. In fact, I don't know how to check the actual option and I don't want to miss my ML settings (until this setup with BS Essence and BV7 works, I'll use the BS Ouverture for the radios).
Again thanks for your support MM.
try, set the "connect to (primary)" to "Beolink Converter NL/ML", but the more probable cause: did you set the "IR mapping"?
IR mapping is not set because I don't use the Eye (I red this feature works only when an IR Eye is used).
As soon as I can access to the system, I'll change the setting according to your proposal and hope it works.
Thanks Carolpa.
I tried with your proposal Carolpa and I think I made one step forward!
Now, when I press the RADIO button from the remote control unit, the TV switches to the radio but no sound. Why one step forward? Because until now, pressing RADIO button had no effect, TV stayed on its current input.
With the application on my mobile, on Beolink Converter device, the logo from the radio is displayed. When I change source from TV (A.MEM for example), the input change in the B&O application.
After my working day, I will play a bit with BLC settings.
