Re: Can I use both Powerlink and Line connections simultaneously on BL 4000's

I know B&O used to have a Powerlink Switch, a rather rare product that allowed this to happen.

As a variation on this question, would it be possible to connect two inputs to the two powerlink connections? i.e. one from a link system and one from a TV? For instance the wireless to get net music etc and a TV for surround sound?

I used a RF cable from the main TV and tuned in a channel to 599Mhz for linked picture.

A Beolink active controlled the link picture and the sound. It works ok. I am waiting for a PC input cable which should sort out the TV to the Beolink Active sound so that I can watch HD locally without a delay in sound.

Would one of these work? http://www.smarthome.com/97252728.html and a Aus power adapter. You would need some Powerlink to Phono cables and some method of changing volume but the BL4000's in line mode may work. Could be worth investigating....

Hope something helps... Beoaus.

Thank you Keith. If I had have taken the time to actually have a look I would have realised that myself. I don't suppose if I bought another Airport unit I could plug the TV into it and send to the receiver in the room then thence to the BL4000's? Maybe the picture and sound would be out of sync even if this worked.

Unfortunately, you will not be able to achieve this objective as you will see from the circuit diagram of the input of the Beolab 4000's below

You can select left, right or line input only

I have a pair of BL4000's connected via Beolink Wireless in a link room. I also have a Sony Bravia in this room that I would like connected to the BL4000's as well. Can I have Wireless connected by Powerlink and the Sony TV connected with the line inputs (RCA) permanently and simultaneously?

Many thanks
