Master/slave link

[GuillaumeB]

Snapshot showing slave self configured CD input, very odd.

Apologies if this has been mentioned recently, but if you use the (originally recommended) rca to AES connection between master and companion you can not use any of the companion inputs.
In order to select this link choice you first have to deselect "Share sources from slave"
That is why I didn't use it on the 800 (I did on my pair of D-Premiers).

Indeed so! Please note from the screen shots that the "Share sources from slave" are in fact deselected. As it happens, I can't get the slave inputs to work even when I use SPDIP to SPDIF cable and correctly connected trigger cable. Devialet have responded to me that this is a known configurator issue, but no solution has been offered after many months, the query with Devialet is open. Others have reported the same issue recently on this forum. I'm a PC user, and I am wondering if the Configurator works better on a Mac. Fairly irrelevant to me as I don't own a Mac!

Carefully tried everything again. This time, between saving the master and slave SD cards, the red link line disappears, and now a new one, the line input that was designated "Surround" has changed back to "Line 1", all by itself. Time to give up I think!

How very frustrating Confused. Perhaps you should ask Devialet to configure the units for you and send you the new config files, I'm sure they'll be happy to help.

I must admit I find the configurator a little glitchy myself and that's using a Mac/Safari.

If only all this could be done over the network rather than having to manually remove the SD cards each time. In fact if we had some kind of app on our PC/Macs that would manage all this and look for updates etc it would be sooo much easier!
