I don't have the later Beo 4 so I could check for sure, but I believe the V.MEM and A.MEM buttons send exactly the same codes as V.TAPE and A.TAPE, it's only the markings on the buttons that differ. However, since all your problems seem related to remote control, I would try another SCART cable before any more expensive measures. Just like on

Razlaw: . I see your point!

It's held on to the hinges by the four screws (two on each side) which you can see under the cover after you open it. The only hard part is finding a short enough screwdriver. Don't crack the lid by overtightening when putting it back on.

tarmacterror: Sounds exactly the same. Are there any products which can reduce the mains hum i.e chokes or some power supply filter? I have some cylindrical chokes I might slip over the mains lead just to try out. This wouldn't probably help at all because the mains lead is not where the hum comes from. If the theory by csmager holds, then it's

Medogsfat: Well it looks like Mika was right after all with the degaussing theory. After using it on and off for the last few weeks the problem has now all but disappeared. Well, that was a cheap fix then! Hope you have similar luck with the MS delivery!

bayerische: evman140: My Beo4 came new with energizers. Energizer is Duracell. Yes, but the real killer is Energizer Lithium . Lithium batteries used to be 3V per cell, but these have some kind of a new chemistry which allows lithium batteries to directly replace old 1.5 V alkaline cells. These will last forever in remotes - I haven't been using

Hi Steve, I re-read your question and now think I may have misunderstood it slightly... The box will need to "see" its original remote by itself, the STB-C will not "relay" the commands from the original remote. Therefore, if you have the box completely hidden behind the Avant, you may have to stand up and get closer if the original

StrangeSteve: Also by installing the IR cable will it enable to use the remote control ( with the digi boxes own remote) with the box hid behind , or is it all tied in to the STB ? That should be no problem unless you fix the IR blaster so that it will cover the receiver of the box entirely. You will most probably need the original remote anyway every

Jandyt: Right, competition! The first one to show a photo of themselves with the book in hand wins.........oh, I'll think of something. Anybody game? You're on! Easy to promise, I never win anything

ballade: A new and even nicer dimmer is now available: http://www.lintronic.dk/AluDim.htm Now that's a showroom installation Looks good otherwise.
