You cannot fit a Powerlink module to the Mark I version of Beovision 1

Frank, What you need is a Lintronic box with its associated relay card made just for this type of requirement. Have a look HERE for details

Tom, I think the site you named do not really have anything completely suitable, however have a look HERE and I think they have every option you would ever need.

You have a valid point and one I believe will come up more often in the future. The dealer will set your Beo5 up wherever possible to your requirements, but to have it set to your exact requirements means you need to spend time defining problems found and facilities required, and like you, not all customers have the time or willingness to spend that

The Beosound 1 does not have Masterlink..

With regards to the Beolab 3500, it depends on the software version of the Beolab 3500. For fully complient with Masterlink from the Beolab 3500 it must be at least version 2.0
