I learned in this forum that this has been an issue for a long time and am just curious whether there is a solution in the meantime to put a Mac into Sleep mode with the Beo4?

Thank s for any help!

Push + hold GO should do it.

If not, you can set your Mac to automatically shut down after a period of inactivity in Energy Saver in system prefs.

Does this really work for you? Here, with my BV 7-40 controlling a MacBook it doesn't work at all.

With the normal apple remote pushing the "play" button would work, however the Beo4 holding down the "go" button doesn't work. So standbay and fast forward backward is a no with the current STB/PUC I believe.

As said Go long and MENU (EXIT) long on Beo4 via PUC controller won`t work. As Alex said, use a timer in system settings - worked pretty well for me.

Another way would be to use Remote Buddy, Sofa Control or.....

Problem is that if FrontRow was playing anything while shutting of the BV 7-40, the Mac will not enter standby as it is busy playing tracks.

But you are probably aware of this as well
