well, as my mx5000 has datalink...

i could see using it to attach the mx to the bs9000, and then the correct ml/mcl converter to attach the bs9000 as the audiomaster for an mcl network.

not my original intent, but sounds like it would work.

I am using the Converter to hook the BeoSystem 3 to the MCL network (via an MCL2AV). However, the BS3 is not my audio master. If you decide to purchase a B&O video system you will find use for that.

thx all...

i assumed that the ml-to-datalink converter (the function of the beolink converter) would enable the bg to be controlled remotely.

i assume now that the ml port and this converter are simply for network use and have nothing to do w/ local sources (i.e.) an attached bg etc...

so, by plugging the bg in locally -i could expect remote capabilities using a beo4?

i don't know if i'll ever find a use for this "extra."

thx for the help!

The BG4500 din cable will simply plug in to the AUX socket on the BS9000

As far as I know the Beolink Converter (the small plastic box - not the amp.) will only connect a Beomaster or a Beovision to a ML-network.

So to connect a BG4500 to the BS9000 you would need a master in between. However I am a not sure that you can connect to Master units e.g. a BS9000 to a BM4500, this depends on one of them being able to be set into slave mode. Some one else can clarify this.

hi all,

having nearly "linked" myself to death...

i have errantly purchased a beolink converter, when i needed a ml/mcl converter.

(i bought a bs9000 and was going to use it as a master in an mcl network)

i was curious: if i decide to keep the bs9000 as a stand-alone and not use it in a network, can i use this surplus converter to attach a bg4500 or similar to the bs9000? -to find a use for it...
