Hello!

I just wanted to add a Beosound 5 to an existing system of a Beosound 9000 with Beolab 8000; the BS5 is supposed to be in the same room as the BS9000 connected via masterlink

Now my problem is that I cannot add the BS5 on my Beo5; either it says that I have to add a Video-System first or I have to add a new zone; but I don't have a TV and I don't want to add a new zone - the two systems are in the same room

I also tried to change the audio option - without success

Can somebody help please?!

Regards Elmar

Hi Elmar, I'm not sure why it requires a TV or a new zone, however, you can create a new zone with no problems and then you can choose to hide it so that it won't appear on the screen. I also had the same issue for the beoport and I the did the above mentioned. Best regards Spiros

Hello Spiros!

Thanks for you answer! As you told to do - I have to hide some buttons (from the TV) or the zone; I'm just wondering how it would be done if I ask a official dealer to do the setup...

What would you suggest: setting BS9000 or BS5 as audio master?!

 

Hello Elmas, You can hide the zone comletely. Most probably your dealer would do the same but I cannot tell for sure. I think that the BS9000 should be the master as long as it is N.Music ready and BS5 in Option 0 if they are on the same room. Give it a try and update us. Best regards Spiros

any further questions, just write a PM with a tel number....

Cheers from germany,

Hello!
I'm still waiting for my BS5 so I haven't change my config yet....

Thanks for your offer!

Hello!

I got my BS5/BM5 last week and did the setup on Saturday; I linked the BM5 to my existing BS9000 (ML); on the Beo5 I've added to BS5 as a new zone; everything works fine; the BS9000 is the Audiomaster - at the BS5 I said "audiomaster no"; there are only some issues:

* after listening to n.music and switching to eg radio the BS5 is not turned off

* the BS9000 does not switch to n.music if I start the system with the BS5

* I've copied a playlist from ITunes to the BM5 with Beoconnect (drag and drop on the green button); unfortunately the system copied the tracks - not a list! So I have all the tracks from the list twice! Is there a chance to get rid off those files? Do I have to erase all of them on after another? And how do I get a LIST?

Greetings Elmar
