Can`t believe that you are giving up!

Took some hours to figure out what the issue is. Now we have it (I think!) and we nearly solve it.....

Did you really switch your Beolab to ML?

Press MENU - MENU -(twice) - 0 - 2 - GO (service menu, should be MCL or something like that displayed) - arrow up (to change to ML -

display shows ML..?) and GO (or STORE) again.

SW update here in Euroland is about 40-50 Euros for the eprom and maybe half an hour work.

Good luck.

Thanks to Keith:

"Extract from my FAQ on the subject

When I purchased my LCS9000, I was told it could only be used with MCL (Master Control Link), is this true ?

No, All units from day one shipment had both MCL and Master Link, however on the LCS9000’s the masterlink socket was covered with a black plug which made it appear that it only had MCL.

To use the MasterLink you need to remove the black plug and enable it via a service menu command. To get into the service menu to switch between ML & MCL press MENU then MENU then 0 then 2 then PLAY, then use the up arrow to switch, then store"

How old is your Beolab? Did you buy it second life? Maybe its an LCS9000 and not a BL3500. Could be set to MCL...(?) So it won`t respond to ML.

All products are in the same room set: Avant and Ouverture NOT connected by Masterlink. BL 3500 ML connected to Overture, NO speakers connected to Ouverture.

Ouverture: A.OPT 0

Avant: V.OPT 1

BL3500: L.OPT 5

I've tried to use LINK OPTION for BL3500 but seems not working even I've tried the procedure recommended by Stefan (connect & disconnect etc.)

Tried to check cable, I've buyed & not make the masterlink cable from myself...they work perfectly connecting ouverture to Avant.

evrithing seems to be perfect but...not work!

bah!
