Hi everybody

Just finished the upgrade from a BS3000 to a BS4500 in our living room. Sounds better and looks nice (black chassis from BS3500, polished surfaces from BS4500, inside BM4500 two-way, took quiet a time to collect all the pieces and to merge everything).

Then i started to upgrade the mcl30 - rooms to MCLAV. In the room i started with the work, everything seemed to be just fine in the beginning. When the system in the central room is playing, i was able to switch on the system in the secondary room, to adjust the volume and to mute the secondary room. I also have the status of the two-way-system on BL5000. But i never succeded to switch on/off the main system or to change  the radio station or to change from radio to phono or to CD. I tried this with BL1000, BL5000 and Beo4. I also made the setup for the central system (Option 1 or Option2) and the Setup for the secondary system (Option 2).  I also checked the new connections on the MCLAV and couldn't find any problems. I have no local connections made to the MCLAV.

I don't want to upgrade the other rooms until i am shure that everything is running fine, but have no idea what went wrong.

So i would appreciate any suggestions or help. Thanks in advance

Are you using the original (white) IR transceiver with MUTE and TIMER buttons? Try to set the whole system to standby by pressing and holdind the MUTE button. Then press LINK 2 STORE on your BL 1000 or L.OPT 2 on Beo4.

Hi Stefan

The problem ist solved now. Yes i am using the original white (now changed to black) transceiver. I also made the setup for option 2.

The problem was a faulty mcl speaker connection (soldered by our dealer...). The white (data) connection was shorted with the right speaker wire (ground).

I overlooked that the two-way response (sound level) comes from the MCLAV and not from the Beomaster, so i never checked the data-Connection.

Now everything works as it should and we can proceed to the other rooms.

Thanks a lot

Ok. So everytime the Beolink system is not working properly the first question should be: "Did the dealer solder the cables?"

Have fun with your system.
