So, I can turn both the Wireless on and off with the remote and I can turn the TV on and off with the remote
but the Beo4 will not turn one off when the other is turned on.
A Beo4 has no "toggle command" for switching between 2 units in a Link-Room - this could only be done
with a Beo5/6 by programming a makro.

I have been told that the Avant will not accept a Masterlink joining it to the Wireless (which would join
it all up to one system. I have an older Avant (28in with VCR). If I could join the two it may be possible
to get all the optioning correct.
Your old Avant will not accept V.OPT "5" or "6" - the settings have to be:
Avant in "V.OPT" " 1" and Wireless in "L.OPT" "5"
>> WIRELESS +BLB 4000 will react to "audio sources" like "CD" , "RADIO" , ...
>> AVANT will only accept "video sources" like "TV", "SAT/DTV" , ...
If there is a TV connected to the ML-System in an other room in V.Opt "1" or "2"
>>"AV" + "video source" will play the sound of a video source delivered by the main TV
like "TV", "SAT/DTV", "DVD" , ... through BLB 4000

Does anyone know any more about the Masterlink connection between my older Avant and the Wireless?
To connect a 1st Generation Avants as a link-room tv the workaround for a WIRED ML systen
is:
Wired ML Network <> BeoLink Video <> 7-pin DataLink Cable <> BeoLink Converter <> ML Cable to the Avant.
Used this setup many years ago and it worked (Avant in "V.Opt 1" acts as beeing in "V.OPT 5" and
"V.Opt 2" acts as "V.OPT 6")
For a WIRELESS setup
this would mean !! in theory - never tried this setup by myself !!
you'll need one more BeoLink Wireless as a receiver beeing used in ML Mode (wo IR-Eye)
- and the wiring would be:
BeoLink Wireless <> ML Cable <> BeoLink Video <> 7-pin DataLink Cable <> BeoLink Converter <>
ML Cable <> Avant
