hi all, 

having nearly "linked" myself to death...

i have errantly purchased a beolink converter, when i needed a ml/mcl converter.

(i bought a bs9000 and was going to use it as a master in an mcl network)

i was curious: if i decide to keep the bs9000 as a stand-alone and not use it in a network, can i use this surplus converter to attach a bg4500 or similar to the bs9000? -to find a use for it... 

As far as I know the Beolink Converter (the small plastic box - not the amp.) will only connect a Beomaster or a Beovision to a ML-network.

So to connect a BG4500 to the BS9000 you would need a master in between. However I am a not sure that you can connect to Master units e.g. a BS9000 to a BM4500, this depends on one of them being able to be set into slave mode. Some one else can clarify this.

The BG4500 din cable will simply plug in to the AUX socket on the BS9000

thx all...

i assumed that the ml-to-datalink converter (the function of the beolink converter) would enable the bg to be controlled remotely.

i assume now that the ml port and this converter are simply for network use and have nothing to do w/ local sources (i.e.) an attached bg etc...

so, by plugging the bg in locally -i could expect remote capabilities using a beo4?

i don't know if i'll ever find a use for this "extra."

thx for the help!

I am using the Converter to hook the BeoSystem 3 to the MCL network (via an MCL2AV). However, the BS3 is not my audio master. If you decide to purchase a B&O video system you will find use for that.

well, as my mx5000 has datalink...

i could see using it to attach the mx to the bs9000, and then the correct ml/mcl converter to attach the bs9000 as the audiomaster for an mcl network.

not my original intent, but sounds like it would work.
