Re: MCL 2A and Beocenter 7700

Hi domrom

You try to mix two generations of Beolink: Your Beocenter works together with the MCL 82 Link-System and the Terminal Controller or the master control 7700 Remote controls. The MCL2A's are one generation later. They work together with the newer remote controls like beolink 100 or beo4.

The wiring you installed is OK, its the same for both systems.

So you have three possibilities

1. switch to a newer beocenter / beosystem like the beocenter 9500 or the beosystem 4500 (But not to a musiccenter with masterlink)

2. Change the MCL2A's to MCL-82

3. Buy a converter (There was such a system on the market, but its rare)

I highly recommend you the first or the second solution (Had the same problem with my beomaster 3000 which is only compatible with the beolink 30. I bought one of these converters but never succeeded in bringing the system to work.

Good luck

David

Hi and welcome to Beoworld. First thing I would check is if the MCL plugs are the right way round in the connections on the Beocenter. If the left and right plugs get mixed up, the system will not work.

MCL 2A and Beocenter 7700

I have a Beocenter 7700 that I bought new back in 1986 and in the former house I also had it linked via MCL links.I built my current home and had it all wired with B&O wiring.Installed MCL2A's 3 of them for the three sets of extra rooms speakers and links.Problem is that my beocentre 7700 remote will not control the links in the other rooms.The tech's think that the wiring that was used all B&O is not compatble with tieher the links or the sysytem.

Does anybody have any solutions????
