Hi,

Thanks for you advice! However, my old mx4000 seems to have the picture tube "on" (but displaying a black picture) when I use the p-mute function. I guess there is no real solution for using non-b&o local sources this way.

This may be a partial assistance ... try "muting" your picture with a P-MUTE soft button added to your Beo4

But I suspect you will always have to activate the basic function of the BV as an integration hub to have the tape command flow through ...

MCL2AV Local sources

Hi all,

I've got an MCL2AV in my bedroom, it's used as an Xtra TV-kit - a two-way MX4000 is connected to it, no external transceiver and no external speakers. I have also connected my computer to the tape input on the MCL2AV, and since my computer isn't beolink-compatible I use the shift+radio+6 command to activate the input. This works fine as long as the tv is already switched on when I activate the tape input.

my question is: how do I activate the tape input (on the MCL2AV) if the tv isn't already on? If the tv is in standby mode, nothing happens when I press shift+radio+6, and if I press tape or link-tape the livingroom taperecorder starts.

I simply want to find a way to activate the local room inputs without activating the mainroom system and without activating the picture tube on the local tv. Any suggestions?
