    AV9000 Audio Kit question

    Hi all

    I have recieved a question from a gentleman.. maybe someone can offer advice as it's before my time and above my head! I've never been asked this before..

    "I have a Beosystem AV9000 television and a Beosystem 7000 audiosystem (BM 7000, BG7000, BG CD7000, BC 7000 and BL7000).
    I would like to have them connected and integrated as one system.

    I hope to be able to have 4 Beolab speakers connected to the AV9000 and be able to play CD/Radio etc, from the BS 7000
    through the same speakers. I am not sure how the option settings should be configurated. All parts are in the same room.

    According to this http://www.beocentral.com/products/av9000ak  and some information from the "old" Beoworld forum,
    the AV 9000 Audio Kit was the way to go.

    I am relatively new to the B&O world so I might be completely wrong here...
    If so, what do I need? "

    Can anyone shed any light on this for him?

    The AV9000 audio kit set up guide is on site and it details the option setting and the way to run the cables. Essentially you set the 7000 to option 0 and set the switch on the audio kit to 3. He will need a 7 pin Audio Aux lead and a Powerlink lead run from the BM7000 to the Audio kit.

    Re: AV9000 Audio Kit question

    I think he needs the AV9000 ML converter to connect his AV9k to his BS7k... Its what I used when I had my 4500 connected to my Av9k but I connected the speakers to the TV and not the BS.

    Only problem is that the AV9k link is unique to the unit.. I dont think you could use the normal converter?

    Re: AV9000 Audio Kit question

    I once connected my BC9500 to an AV9000-system, and this is they way to do it: Run the 7-pin audio aux cable from the audio system to the AudioKit connection box - then run an ML cable from it to the AV9000. You may also connect a powerlink cable between the AudioKit Connection box and the audio system, but it is not strictly necessary to do so. The AudiKit comes with an integrated option switch.

     You will be able to adjust bass/treble/etc on the 7000, but it will have little effect - so it is recommended to leave the controls alone and adjust everything on the AV9000. It can even handle timer play.

    So, yes, you will need the AV9000 AudioKit. And the products will integrate much to the same degree as current ML products.

    Re: AV9000 Audio Kit question

    You can use 1610 or AV9000 Audio Kit.

    This variant have 2 ML sockets, the 1610 only 1 ML and needs AC.

    Re: AV9000 Audio Kit question

    Hello all! I`ve an additional question concerning the AV9000 audio kit. I would like to integrate a Beogram in my AV9000 System with MPAV9000. The Problem is that it has no Datalink or Aux in! So is it possible to connect the 1610 via ML parallel to the MPAV9000 and on the other side of the 1610 a Beogram via Datalink? Is this a solution that might work or not? Thanks a lot! Chris

    Re: AV9000 Audio Kit question

    Sorry,

    i don't think it works.

    The MPAV in combination with the AV9000 is not connectable with an beogram

    Re: AV9000 Audio Kit question

    Hello,

    I am the "gentleman" refered to in the first message Smile

    Very impressing and fast response I must say,thanks to you guys i have answers on some questions I had not asked yet.

    Does the settings Peter mention apply to the 1610 or only the "AV9000 audio kit" ?

    Where do I find the set up guide?

    I will probably get back with further questions, but one thing is sure. I will become a Gold member on this site!

    If you are a gold or silver member, the manual is available for download, along with the user manuals for the system. The settings are for the audio kit with switch. There are a couple of different sorts!!

    Re: AV9000 Audio Kit question

    Hello Turbo,

    the option setting is needed for both units (1610 and audio kit), the switch is only plesent at the AV9000 audio kit.

    You can download the setup guide from the main side (but only as silver or gold member).

    I am sure I read somewhere that the 1610 version does not work with the AV9000?? hence the dedicated converter?

    Re: AV9000 Audio Kit question

    The 1610 is the Mk2 AV9000 audio kit. It has auto-configuration and a built in power supply.

    Re: AV9000 Audio Kit question

    Yep, Peter is right! On the one I had some years ago, "AV9000 Audio Kit" and "1610" were both printed on.

    Re: AV9000 Audio Kit question

    The 1610 is perfect for working at an AV9000 with as example BC9500 or any else

    AUX link Audio Master.

    I've use it many years....

    Re: AV9000 Audio Kit question

    Today! Embarrassed

    I installed the 1610, purchased 2 years ago. Time flies....

    I have some troubles though. It is totaly worth it just to see that the telivision display says what track and what source I am playing on the bm7000, even when the telivision is turned off.

    The TV and stereo is in the same room. But I am still confused about what option settings I should use. I have not found any information on what the setting on the television should be and how to change this. I have been trying randomly but it hapends strange things Smile

    I discovered one setting that made the cd player skip 2 tracks when pressing skip, and also the bm7000 started in mute and not in the preset volume... I have now lost track of all settings and need some advice. The positon switch on the 1610 is set on 3.

     

    What I would like is that when I turn the TV on the Pentas starts as stereo speakers, and also the rear active speakers as surrounds. When I start the CD, only the pentas should start. Powerlinks to the pentas are now connected to the bm7000.

    Re: AV9000 Audio Kit question

    I think you have the classic 2 - 0 setup. V.OPT 2 and A.OPT 0. BL1000: press SOUND - 0 - STORE and PICTURE - 2 -STORE.

    Beo4: Press Stdby and List at the same time, select V.OPT (arrow up) 2 and A.OPT (arrow up) 0.

    Your system will start in SPEAKER2 mode (front speakers) , if you choose an audio source and SPEAKER3 (center and front) in video mode.

    Hope this helps.

    Re: AV9000 Audio Kit question

    As far as a converter goes it depends on on what year the AV9000 is from.

    Mine is from '98 and its a IMP version with 3.0 software. I asked the B&O shop about using a 1611 converter as I allready had one and for the IMP version you must use the 1611 if using an audio system other than the MVAP9000.

    So I'm using the 1611 with a Beomaster 6500 and it works brilliantly together.

    As I got no Beolab speakers I'm using optoion 1 on both audio and video system.

    Re: AV9000 Audio Kit question

    When I the settings as you describe here Stefan, I can not control the volume when I start the CD. Also the TV starts only in mono setting although I have changed the setting on the TV to Dolby surround.

    With picture1 and sound0 I can not even start the CD, TV starts only with the center speaker.

    With picture3 and sound0 I can not even start the CD, TV starts only with the center speaker.

    With picture4 and sound0 I can not even start the CD, TV starts only with the center speaker.

    With picture2 and sound1  the CD works althogh it starts in mute, TV starts only with the center speaker.

    Both set on 0 I can not start the CD.

    Is there some place were the options are explained?

    The setup is Beosystem7000, AV9000 Penta as fronts connected to the Beomaster and CX100 as rears through MCL 2P connected to the TVs rear powerlink socket. SW 1.37 (two way) on TV and SW 1.0 on Beomaster. I have beolink1000, Beolink7000 and MCP5500 as remotes.

    I am very thankfull to every input here!

    Re: AV9000 Audio Kit question

    Turbo, you tested a lot of option settings, but not that one I recommended. BTW there is NO PICTURE 3 setting at all. You will find OPT - 0 = IR receiver disabled, OPT 1 = responds only to their "own" cmmands (A.OPT 1 responds to audio commands, V.OPT 1 responds to video commands).

    OPT 2 responds to audio AND video commands. OPT 1 and 2 are settings for master. OPT 5 and 6 are settings for link rooms (BL3500, BL2000, Link TVs...). OPT 5 is similiar to OPT1, OPT6 similiar to OPT2. See also beotech site.

    Now set whole system to standby. Press PICTURE - 2 - STORE. Watch the red Standby LED flashing(AV9000). Press SOUND - 0 - STORE. Watch the red Standby LED flashing (BM7000). Press CD. CD7000, BM7000, AV9000 and front speakers - stereo- should start.

    If not, connect a PL cable to the Powerlink socket of the BM7000 and the other end to the Powerlink socket of the 1610 converter.

    For the rear spakers (MCL2P) you will need a fully wired ot a special Powerlink cable.

    Good Luck

    Stefan
