    Linking AV7000 to beomaster 7000, any tips or ideas ?

    I have an AV7000 that I basically haven't used since I moved last year.

    Now that some of the renovations in my place are coming to end, I would love to hook this unit back up. I just tried it and the sound is good enough for me when watching movies and dvd's. It's great to have a home theater sound again after all that time Smile The 5 speakers used are cx100 connected by mcl2p via powerlink to the av7000.  My sound system (a 90ies beosystem 7000) has it's own RL7000 speakers , These speakers are ideal for the open concept loft space I live in right now. I checked the manual and as discribed, I put an aux cable and a powerlink cable between them and put the Av7000 in option 2 and the beomaster in option 0.

    This basically works fine and as advertised, however here is my question :

    Right now when I switch on the radio or any other audio source, the beomaster is muted and the front speakers of the av7000 come on.  The sound of the cx100 speakers is more than good, that's not the problem, but the thing I wanted to accomplish is that when the radio is switched on, the av7000 is muted (maybe till a video source is selected?) and i get the sound through the beomasters RL speakers. (They carry the sound clear and undistorted through the whole place unlike the cx100's that have more of specific listening angle.)

    Is there anyone who can think of a way to get this accomplished ?  Any tips or ideas are very welcome and appreciated. I hope my question is understandable enough.....Geeked 

    Another possibility would have been that the beomaster powers the R/L front speaker amp by default (effectively eliminating the 2 cx 100 and a mcl passive?) but them the RL are overpowering the cx's when using 4 or 5 speaker mode. ( I did try that)

    I know my setup is not an ideal situation. I did sell most of my B&O gear to finance this new place and the reno's.  However, I am saving up to buy a new B&O tv or beosystem3 and beolabs (coming soon)  to bring it all up to date, but will have to make do with what I have for now. (sounds pretty awesome anyways and I love my beosystem 7000 too much to part with it Embarrassed )

    Kindest regards,

    O.
