How do you set the option on your BC9000? Via direct controls or with Beo4? I would suggest Beo4, maybe not all your keys work anymore on the BeoCenter, who knows. Press std-by+list simultaneously, press list until you see "option", then "a.opt", then the option you want (1,2 or 6 for BC9000), and it should work. As for the volume keys being lit, it's not normal indeed, that's all I can say.
