Hi there, 

I already posted this in German Beoworld to no success.

I have a system with a Beomaster 3000and a Beovision LX (with remote control Beolink 1000). Now I want to connect those to operate the Beomaster 3000 (and the other system parts: Beocord 2000 and Beogrm 3000) remotely via the TV set. 

What will I need. I guess, some sort of Converter. Is the Beolink converter 1611 the right one? And how will I connect the converter to the Beomaster 3000. I know that it has Datalink, but there's no AUX socket...

Hope someone here can help....

Yours

Ray

You do not need anything as the Beomaster 3000 does not work at all with Beolink!

Otherwise you should had used the AUX on the Beomaster straight to the LX6000 with a 7 pin DIN cable with no converter.

The converter is used when the Beovision is newer than 1994 and has ML while Beosystem/Beocenter has MCL. The converter is always 1611 in that case.

Hi Friedmett,

thank you for your answer!

I recently saw a Converter 1611 on ebay, which had an adapter cable from 2xSpeaker out (the one with three pins, which I have on the BM3000) to 7Pin-DIN. Thats why I was hoping there is some possibility for exchanging signals.

What ist this option on my second speaker sockets (3 pins instead of 2) for? I mean what kind of connection can I get with these?

Yours kindly

Ray

What you have there is MCL30. This was one of the early link systems used by B&O and allowed you to control the Beomaster 3000 and attached peripheral units in another room or two. Pretty basic, one way control and the parts for it are very rare. Doesn't attach to a TV and allow control.

Hi Peter,

so it IS a link system? And I CAN control BM3000 (and the attached BEOGRAM and BEOCORD) from another room (or corner of a room ;-))?

Thats what I thought.

Oneway-Control means remotely controlling the BM 3000 not vice versa, right?

So there is no converter from early MLC30 to MLC2?

Yours,

Ray

No converter that I know of. There is a code converter for the 5000 system and the 6000/8000 system but I don't think it works with the 3000. The MCL30 system will allow you to work the system in another room but you need the connection box and the IR eye. I have seen them on eBay but only very rarely. The system allows full control - but you get no visual feedback in the link room. Later MCL systems had two way remote control which showed a read out of what the system was doing. The ultimate expression of this was the Beolink 7000.

Hi Peter,

I read again through what BeoTech supplies on this topic. 

No visual Feedback would be okay for me.

But I guess I get you right that all Beolink converters only convert between ML and MCL signals?

And MCL signal isn't the same as MCL30 signal?

Yours,

Ray
