Hi all.

My BeoSound 9000 is fixed rather firmly to the wall. In order to once again dive into my problem of not getting online sound via the connected Airport Express to my extra BeoLab 2000 speakers I now removed the BS from the wall the hard way. It is rather hard to describe that setup.

Apologies. The Airport Express’ aux-cable was plugged into the second loudspeaker port, aside the port the ‘pencils-like’ BeoLab 8000 speakers, not into AUX. So embarrassingly stupid.

I plugged the aux-cable into the (correct) BeoSound 9000 aux-port and all is working just fine now, on both sets of BL 8000 and BL 2000 speakers. Great apologies to all of you whom were so kind to help me via this forum. I am a ashamed.

And thank you all for getting me onto this (working) solution with the Airport Express.

Best regards, Joost.

Thank you Guy. Thank you Tignum.

Hi all. I cannot get my BeoLab 2000 to air the sound I am streaming to the BeoSound 9000 via Airport Express (model A1392), see earlier messages. Sound is OK on the BeoLab 8000’s of the BeoSound 9000. But no sound on the BeoLab 8000 that is masterlinked. Does anybody has an idea left how to get that working? Or is the BeoLab 2000 too old (bought in 1999, SW 1.1)?

[Joost]

No, the BeoLab 2000 does not follow in the redirecting both BeoSound 9000 and BeoLab 2000 to the streaming signal. The sound on the BeoLab 2000 disappears and the power light on the front of the BeoLab 2000 remains green.

[Joost]

I have 2 Beo4’s, on both I can add A.AUX to the LIST button. But that does not help.

I managed to set L.OPT 6 as described. But all the BeoLab 2000 does when pressing A.TAPE on Beo4 or the Play button on its front is changing the colour of its power light from red to green. No sound.

[Joost]

Guy, sorry for the late reply.

Yes, the BeoLab 2000 starts playing CD’s physically in the BeoSound 9000 when pressing its CD-button, independently if the 9000 was asleep or not.

Yes, the BeoSound 9000 plays AirPort Express streaming sound on its own BeoLab 8000 speakers when pressing the A.TAPE button on the Beo4.

No, nothing happens on the BeoLab 2000 after pressing its play button apart from the green light that starts shining. Nothing happens there neither when pressing any button on the Beo4 aiming to the BeoLab 2000.

Strange, when I stream internet stuff to the BeoSound 9000 via the AirPort Express the BeoLab 2000 plays CD when pressing the CD button on its front and FM-radio when pressing its radio button. At the same time the BeoSound 9000 joyfully continues its streaming signal.

I managed to stream via Airport Express to my BeoSound 9000. Super! Thanks.

But I do not succeed to get that signal on the BeoLab 2000 connected with master link/Beolink to the BeoSound 9000.

Referring to what Guy wrote I cannot get A.AUX under LIST. My BeoLab 2000 shows SW 1.1 on the label on the rear, maybe that is why. And pressing A.TAPE on both BeoSound 9000 and BeoLab 2000 does not bring the signal to the BeoLab 2000. The BeoLab 2000 power light changes from red to green colour, but no sound is produced.

Can anybody help please? I would like to stream internet radio via Airport Express not only to the speakers of the BeoSound 9000 but in the same time to the masterlinked BeoLab 2000 also.

[Joost]

Thank you all very, very much for your swift and eyeopening info. I will go for the Airport Express solution with TuneIn app, looks swell. I spotted some second hand Airport Expresses online in my neighbourhood.

Thanks for the link to Soundheavenly for the necessary cable, but it shows they do not ship outside the UK. I live in Belgium.

What cable do I need? DIN-cable 5 pins (BeoSound 9000) to minijack (Airport Express)? Can I find the cable in regular electronic shops? Or do I need a B&O specialist for that?

[Joost]

Thanks. The 2 BeoLab 8000’s are connected with the loudspeaker ports, the BeoLab 2000 uses the BeoLink connection. Leaves open the auxiliary port on the BeoSound 9000.

Can I connect a bluetooth device like Logitech bluetooth audio adapter to the ‘9000’ via the aux-port and then stream anything from iPhone/iPad? What cable do I need for that, since probably the Logitech device may not have the necessary cable fitting the AUX-port?

Even better would be a device I can stream over AirPlay. Any?

These solutions have the intelligence in the iPhone/iPad. I believe BeoSound Core has the intelligence in itself, right? The BeoSound Core is connected to the internet, wireless and is managed from an internet connection, the iPhone i.e., right? Are there solutions like that other than Core?

I guess the BeoSound 9000 connects with the AUX-connected devices via the A-AUX button on its control panel, correct? How to bring the ‘auxiliarised’ sound to the BeoLab 2000, since there is no AUX-button on its control stick and neither my Beo4 remote control has anything called AUX. The remote has ATAPE and AV, no idea if that can help.
