MX5500 BM4500 options question
I want to use an MX5500 with a BM4500 and a pair of P45s in a bedroom.
The TV and BM will be connected via the their respective AUX sockets and the P45s connected to the BM4500.
If I set the BM4500 to option 2 (displays 2.5) and the MX5500 to option 0 with its speakers set to External then sound comes from the P45s connected to the BM4500 as expected but when I switch to TV I get the sound of the TV from the P45s but no picture.
If I set the BM4500 to option 0 (displays 0.5) and the MX5500 to option 2 then I must set its speakers to Internal to get any sound. When I press TV the BM does not come on. When I press radio then sound comes from then MX5500 and the BM4500 always mutes.
What are the proper option settings?
Is there a definative guide to the options? There are bits and pieces in a few user guides but an overall guide would be nice...

Re: MX5500 BM4500 options question
Doesn't the MX5500 have connections to allow the P45's to be directly connected to the TV?

Re: MX5500 BM4500 options question
Yes it does but I thought the amplifier in the BM4500 is more powerful.
So I use A.OPT 0, V.OPT 2 and connect the speakers to the MX5500?

Re: MX5500 BM4500 options question
Yes, I believe the only "good" setup is having the speakers connected to the TV. The downer is that the amps in the MX aren't that great, and I wouldn't trust the quality of the audio routing circuitry that much either (so even active speakers wouldn't solve the whole problem)...
I once tried to setup my BS6500 (with passive Pentas) and MX6000 so that the TV sound would come automatically through the BS while audio functions would continue working normally. I never got it completely working - either the picture was missing or the TV turned needlessly on.

richtoy:

I'm not sure, but I remember there has been a SW issue for early MX5500/BM4500 and similar setups beeing not capable for a "full" A/V Opt.Setup 0/2 (the two digit readout e.g 0.5 or 2.5 indicates that it might be the old SW version)
SW versions of both units would help.

Re: MX5500 BM4500 options question
BM4500 has version 1.6
MX5500 has version 2.2S
I read elsewhere on the forum that the BM4500 can be upgraded to version 2.2
Exactly what is the delta between 1.6 and 2.2?
