Afternoon, I'd like to check my options for Master Link between my MX8000 and Ouverture system. I have a pair of 6000 speakers connected to the Ourverture, but would like the option to play TV/DVD audio through these speakers. I can do the opposite: I can use (Beo4) AV -> Go -> Radio/CD/etc to play Ouverture sources through the MX, but not the reverse. Most guides seem to suggest that I should connect the speakers to the TV. Is this my only option? For this is I should use A.Opt: 0, V.Opt: 2 Following the table below I have tried A.Opt: 1, V.Opt: 1, but not sure what else to do after that.

The MX8000 manual refers to a CD-ROM for additional settings, but I have so far not found this material online.

I do have a Beolab 2000 in a linked room which is working just fine: Hit DVD from the Beo4 and I have TV/DVD audio.

What else can I try for my main room setup?

Thanks in advance, Neil

Hi Neil,

If you prefer to keep the 6000s hooked to the Ouverture, option 1 on both products is the way to go.

Then, To get DVD:

On the 8000: DVD
On the Ouverture AV+DVD

To get Radio:

On the Ouverture: Radio
On the 8000: AV+Radio

If your preferred listening position is the same for audio and video, the best solution would be to hook the speakers to the TV. If my memories are good, you could take benefit of the "central balance" function to enlarge the video stage And this case, the AV key on source while selecting a source is no more necessary. Hope this helps. Regards, Yann. PS: is the MX directly connected the Ouverture or is there a black box (converter) between the 2 products?

For the most user friendly operation speakers connected to the MX8000 in option 2 and then the Ouverture in option 0 is recommended. Else you will have to have both in option 1 and control it like Yann suggest.

Ok, played around a little, but not made much progress unfortunately… on some points raised, yes the MX8000 is equipped with the Master Link module. It is however not connected directly to the Ouverture, instead there is a 4-way ML Junction box sitting between the TV, Ouverture and a Beolab 2000 (link room). Idid install the junction box myself, but checked continuity across all links in the junction box, can access TV audio from the BL2000 module, and play CDs/Radio on the Tv as Yann described. Following the instructions for DVD audio on the Ouverture, AV + DVD puts it into V.AUX mode, and the speakers switch on. Volume is adjustable without interfering with the TV, but alas, no audio. If I put the DVD player/TV into standby mode, the Ouverture doesn’t follow suit, and instead is active until shut down. Not sure if that helps with anything… Appreciated, Neil
