Sounds like a market out there for someone (cough STB, cough Sounds Heavenly) to come up with a suitable add on........

Put me down for two!

Large48:

Follow on question about the wall bracket though....

Did they ever do an addition (shelf?) to it so you could attach a vid/dvd/stb etc etc?

Cheers

No, they didn't!

You should have bought a MX4002 in the first place. There was one for sale about 20 miles up the A10 from you!!

Now you need a Beolink Converter Type 1611, a masterlink cable and an audio aux link cable and you will hear Ouverture sound in the MX speakers.

Hi:

Thanks I have a Beovision 1 myself but could not really afford to get her one of these. I understand that the sound quality of the MX4000 I have will not be as good as say with a Beovision 1 but until I can afford to upgrade the MX4000 for her you suggest I need a Beolink module. I am unsure what one of these is, however, I hazzard a guess at it being one of those control boxes that is mounted into the wall and forms part of a multi-room system. I think in the short to medium term this is my best option. Could anyone shed some light on doing this?

Thanks

Graham

Hi you need a beolink module (I cannot think which one), From this you will be able to access the overture. To be honest. I would look for a set with masterlink (like a 4002 or 4200 they look nearly identical to yours).

Or you could go for a beovision 1 as they have the active speakers built in!

Hope this helps

Cheers Nick

Edit:

I barely understand the difference between powerlink, datalink and masterlink, indeed I only just remembered the term datalink. As far as I am aware, powerlink is for connecting speakers, I know nothing of datalink. masterlink carries Audio signals and coupled with a RF cable, transmits video also. I have checked around the forum but the other posts either only touch on the subject or confuse me further. So, is my proposal possible with a non ml MX4000?

Thanks

Hi all:

My MX4000 is now sitting on the wall as planned. It does not have ML (were any of them equiped with this). This therefore brings me onto my next question:

If in the future I picked up an Ouerture or something simillar, could this be conected to the TV thus utilising the TV speaker. Also, could I then get a wireless speaker (B&O or other) and place this elsewhere in the house with a link eye thus creating a basic multiroom system?

Thanks

Graham

Hi Graham:

Thanks, never thought of that, this would be the easiest and most fool-proof solution.

I suggest that you take the stand into Mackays in Cambridge and ask them. They can provide you with everything you require.

MX 4000 questions

Hi guys:

I have an MX4000 and wall stand which I have just purchased for my mother-in-law. My initial impressions are that it is yet another lovely looking set from B&O yet I think the LED/reciever unit placed in the top right hand corner of the set detracts from its overall appearance.

I am planning to mount this on the wall yet I don't have any screws. Could someone tell me (I am a novice at DIY) what size, type and name of screws I need, what size drill bit I need and what kind of rawl plugs. It is to go on an internal - i.e. not exterior brick wall but it is not plasterboard. The wall is of Victorian construction so I do not know if breeze blocks were invented back then.

Also I note that some stands had a slot for a video or sky box - this is not immediately apparent to me - is there a extra bit I need to bolt onto my stand or was there a specific stand that had this slot and if I don't have it, I don't have it?

Thanks

Graham
