hi,

this may be a stupid question, but i'd rather be sure.

i currently have a beocenter 1 that i use as an audio and video master in my beo network. i use it essentially to play back cds and n.music. in my future dream set-up, i plan to have a bv7 in the living room and move my bc1 to the bedroom. i had thought to leave the bc1 as audio master (for n.music and radio) and the bv7 as video master (for video and cd). i would like to be sure that the bv7 will be able to play back cd on its dvd player and distribute the sound throughout the house.

thanks,

You will not be able to let the BC1 handle N.Music and Radio as an audio master AND let the BV7 provide CD as an audio master - Is there a special reason why you can't let the BV7 act as the master?

hi roger,

i would prefer to use the bv7 for all my sources. however, i'm not sure it handles n.music and i don't think it has a radio. this is why i am looking for a solution where i use the bc1 as audio master (while waiting for the bs5 !).

on my bc1, i noticed that it does not consider it's internal disc player as a cd unit. cd does not exist in the bc1 menu and if i click cd on my beo4 the bc1 does not respond. to play cd, i click on dvd. with link devices, i must use av - dvd.

so, i am wondering if i can get the bv7 to behave in the same manner - distributing cd music as a sort of dvd with no image. thanks again,

It (the BV7) will handle N.Music and N.Radio, but it doesn't have radio - but that can be sorted out if you have a cable box with radio. You will have the same challenge with respect to DVD/CD on the BV7: you activate it by pressing DVD, but it will read the disc and be audio-only if it's a cd.

So it is redundant for us to have a  Beosound 3000 next to our new Beovision 7?  We could remove the Beosound 3000 and lose no functionality?  Except for the radio?

A BeoSound 3000 could be usefull for analogue radio (FM), but around here quite a few customers find the BV7 very attractive because: 1) internal CD/DVD drive, 2) they have radio through their cable box, 3) with BeoLab 7.1/7.2 they actually can get by with no additional speakers giving them a very neat all-in-one setup.
