In the main room use a Beo4 and set the 7000 to Option 0 and the Avant to Option 2 with the speakers attached to it. Connect a MCL2A in another room attached to the 7000 and the BL7000 works perfectly. I use mine in my bedroom which has the LX6000 in it - which is 2 way and which gives me a display of what my Avant, BC2 and sky box are doing! Only on the red display but I am effectively getting 2 way from 1 way systems!! It worked very well with my system when I had the 7000 system but less well now as I cannot program. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: BEOWORLD PRIZE DRAW - JUNE !!!</title><link>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/27539.aspx</link><pubDate>Sun, 01 Jul 2007 11:18:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:27539</guid><dc:creator>Jandyt</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/27539.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&amp;PostID=27539</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="http://forum.beoworld.org/Themes/default/images/icon-quote.gif"&gt; &lt;strong&gt;Stonk:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;p&gt;It is custom now that the 1st prize winner has to hold a Beoworld get together at his home to include all food &amp;amp; plentiful drink - shouldn&amp;#39;t cost more than a couple of grand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Congratulations Andy!!&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks Steve.
