damatt is right. I'm using the 1611 between a Beosystem 6500 and BeoVision 8, and it's working perfectly. Don't have anything between the powerlink connectors though - only between TV/AUX on Beomaster and Converter. What's the benefit of connecting the Powerlink connectors? I have the TV set on Option 2 and the Beomaster on Option 0

David: I really hope B&O can resolve these problems with design in the new world of technology, and get back up to what they have done a lot of in the past - creating uncanny originality and beauty. It's become a lot tougher. Previously, you would have to engineer analog solutions to audio/video challenges. Creating a good, broadcast quality

Check out flashbacksales.co.uk I have bought several cables from them, they ship everywhere. The workmanship is excellent and the prices are very good. They deliver to NAIM and QUAD owners (equipment which also uses DIN plugs). You'll find all kinds of terminations, including a selection of RCA.

Thanks, I'll look into the sound quality thing. Wouldn't think it should be a problem though - my understanding is that audio on ML is at Line Level. Could it be a question of different sound pressure and treble/bass/loudness settings on the two outputs you're using?

Thanks, Craig. You're right - and works very nicely! Quite a resource this BeoWorld. Forgive my being too lazy again: can I keep the image and listen to the Beosystem?

I'd like to have my BV8 and Beosystem 6500 collaborate. I have the converter box, and have connected the units with masterlink from BV8>converter and powerlink from converter<Beosys6500 TV/aux in. Want to pipe the sound from the Beosys6500 to the BV8, and control both television and Beosystem. What would you recommend as option settings for

Which Mac mini do you have? I'm getting a very nice image, output at 1360x768 from the Mac mini, through a DVI to HDMI cable. My daughter and her friends are watching The Illusionist right now and it looks wonderful. Ripped it with MactheRipper, and it's playing from the TS_File. But you can link your MPEG4 file to DVDPedia in the same way you

The price we pay for being early adopters - I've also at times ended up with hardware that can't do very obvious stuff. You can get the surround out of your macmini by using a soundcard connected via firewire or usb -- but then you might also want to consider upgrading to the most recent macmini. It's faster and has IR, wireless and bluetooth

You need to use other software to create the rips. Handbrake or Mactheripper -- but you can link DVDPedia to your DVD TS_Files, and then start playback from inside the coverflow display of DVDPedia, either using DVD Player or VLC (or any other playback you prefer).

Coolskin - on the back panel you should have four digital input RCA coax connectors, marked A1, A2, etc. If you get a toslink s/pdif to coax s/pdif converter, such as the one shown in the ebay link above my post, then you just run a coax cable from the converter to one of the digital in. Your television will then receive the 5.1 (or DTS) signal. However
