Masterlink between BV 10-40 and BC 2

11 replies
Ok, another dumb question! Whilst setting up my system I lashed together the BC 2 and the tv, programmed the masterlink system(video -2 audio -0 having gone through audio reset ie audio -1, it all worked! Tidied up the cabling etc - see photos elsewhere -  reprogrammed the system again, tv works fine, but, trying to call up the radio, the head unit indicates it is on and tuned to the appropriate station but the tv carries on with no changeover to the radio/audio . The interconnection between the head unit and the box appears to be ok as the head unit shows the radio channel, now my question is, is the problem lkely to be in the masterlink connections, I assume control signals pass by that or is it by the scart system? I have some spare cables which I will look out and try tomorrow, but have any of you out there any other suggestions? Thanks in advance. Tony
Thanks for the response, I will try later with the scart, and also another masterlink cable! Audio reset  ---  I read in the masterlink manual that it is best to commence by aud option 1 then aud opt 0  -  I have tried this to no avail hence my other questions! Thanks Tony S
So just tried it with the masterlink and the scart disconnected. pressing radio the bc2 switches on, and if the tv is working thd BC2 switches on but the tv continues. Just reprogrameb the BC2 via opt 1 then opt0 it now doesn't switch on, had to reprog the tv, that now works but when called the radio doesn't Do I now reconnect the m/link and scart and retry?
It could be one of the plugs on the masterlink cable I will look more closely tomorrow!
So, off at a slight tangent, I have the offer of an s video cable, will that remove the need for the scart lead? Also, with 2 of the bv 10-40  scart sockets ,adjacent to them are s video sockets and PUC sockets, dumb question, if the s video cable replaces the scart lead, would I need to use  a PUC with the tv as well(I think not!!) My BC2 and bv 10-40 manuals are elsewhere so I cannot consult it! Thanks in advance Tony S
Ok, got it, thanks, I'll look at the manual later, currently working on a piece to hold a bv 10-32 at an angle when using a BV 6 / 7 wall mount! See elsewhere on the forum.
