Hi Martin,

The new belt is arrived and I sourced teflon bicycle oil for dry condition.

A question: How to remove safely the transport in order to clean the threaded spindle and what attention points should I take care of?

Kind regards,

Yann.

Ed,

Wiim application includes access to a number of streaming services, such as Qobuz, Tidal, Spotify. So the “kids” would easily listen to their music providing they have this app on their phone.

Another plus is that Wiim are nit expensive, so you can include several units in your household.

Here is a summary of my setup, if it can help your thinkings.

Hi,

You should also consider Wiim Pro / Pro Plus.

Great value for money.

In my system, files are stored in a Qnap NAS with Twonky server (or whatever you want).

Wiim coaxial output connected to BL50 / Line output connected to BC2 Aux-in.

Works fine.

Kind regards,

Yann.

Looking at the picture of the 2000 not Deluxe, it is not so different.

I think that the 2000DL manual should give you useful informations.

Hi,

Unfortunately that’s all I have.

New version update.

Finally disapppointed, I’ll get back to 5.3:

The app shows sources in NL/ML Converter, but selecting one of them does not fire-on the speakers connected to the converter.

The source is available with the remote control and works fine, but the app shows the core on the now playing screen and no in-app volume control for the converter is possible.

Did anyone manage to connect to a DLNA server from this app? Here it’s impossible, the server search gives no result even with 2 servers available (Plex & Synology)

Yes, it works flawless on my QNAP using Twonky server and the built-in Qnap app.

Here it is

The ‘Gen…own General Up’ in some cases instead of the volume bar must be something temporary.

I’m not sure.

If you tap on the product icon near these commands, it opens a sub-page where you find the volume of possibly linked products.

New version : 5.5.1.23110963653

Some progress:

• Core has recovered the missing audio sources.
• NL/ML converter still missing audio sources (RADIO, A.AUX)

But unfortunately no progress for Theatre.

I also noticed “Gen Down / Up” commands near the Multiroom icon.

I’ll stay with this version even if it’s still uncomplete (especially ML sources in Theatre).

Kind regards,

Yann.

Hi,

Made the test too as release notes mentioned NL/ML Converter.

I did not notice ANY improvement in ML sources availability.

Back to 5.3 !

Alles gut für mich

Hello Johan,

Here are my ideas (with no guarantee of success)

I would create a small ML network including the 3 items use a ML distributor if you have one).

Beocenter 6 has the speakers, so I would set it on Option 2.

Beocenter 2 set to Option 0 so that it is controlled by the BC6. If needed, a scart cable may distribute the video for DVD.

BS3 could be seen as a link product placed in the main room. So option 4.

All video inputs of BC6 disabled except the one connected to BS3 and SCART if you use it.

In BS3, do not use these input names for it’s video sources.

Then the problem is to control the BS3 sources.

BS3 can be “called” with command Link + source name, which can be added in the Beo4 list (eg L-DTV2, L-V.AUX…).

As an alternative and if you have a spare Beo4, you could program it in order that it only sends Link command (access to “Config?” as you do for option programming, press 2 0 0 2 then Exit – Same way to turn the Beo4 to normal mode).

I hope it helps. If it doesn’t, look at the Beolink Handbook link available on the right of this page.

Yann.

This could be avoided by attaching a set of speakers to another set of PL connctors on the BS3 and assign that speakergroup to music.

I think it’s not necessary, Link+Audio sources should fetch them on the BC2.

Yes, BS3/BC2 as main system is more adapted to video sources.

[YannChris]

Thanks Martin,

I found the belt on Beoparts, but I absolutely don’t know where to find the teflon oil.

Is there a brand/name that you can recommend?

Kind regards,

Yann.

[YannChris]

Hi Jon and MM,

Test done:

BC9500 / Tape2 out connected to Wiim Line-in.

Played a tape on Beocenter, muted the speakers.

On Wiim: selected Line-in as source and Homepod as renderer.

Works fine.

2nd test done: Phono to Theatre/BL50 in main room: Ok.

Jon, thanks again for your good idea, I can now enjoy my LPs in my living-room’s couch 🙂

Have a great week-end,

Yann.

[YannChris]

Ok, Thanks.

[YannChris]

Hi MM,

It’s a test.

But this is what I can do on the Wiim Home app.

On this test, airplay reciever is a BS1.

Yann.

[YannChris]

Good idea!

If I well understand your project, you plan to connect an output of the Beocenter to the line input of your Wiim in order to send the signal through an Apple Express to a pair of 6000s in another room.

Assuling that you control the volume of the 6000s through the Wiim app, so I would do as this:

Connect the 5500 tape2 out to Wiim line in (note that tape-out is fixed line-level).

In Wiim home app, select line input or maybe Line-in auto detect (I have not tested this).

Turn the volume of wiim to minimum to avoid a bad surprise, then chose your apple express as audio output interface.

Play a CD on the 5500, enjoy (I hope) and let me know 🙂

I have a Beocenter 9500 and will connect it’s tape2/out to the line-in of my Wiim Pro Plus.

It may enable me to distribute the phono and tape to the rest on my system (ML and NL products).

Kind regards,

Yann.

The manual, on page 4 states that volume must be controlled by the source.

The Beosound Moment was wireless-enabled.

Yann.
