Now I got my latest gadget. A little small piece so I can pilot my PS3 with Beo4/5. I bought it from schmartz.com

I can 100% control PS3 AND on/off to!!!!

I will return with some picture later

All this for only 50 dollar ;-)

Anders,

if my mind serves me right, you did order an ir remote with usb receiver for the ps3, also. Did this work as well?

Thanks, Marcus 

Yeah but it was very hard to get it from USA

But I order one yesterday from USA at last, but I dont need it anymore ....LOL 

Thanks. By the way, what is this tiny little picture you did attach to your initial post?!?

The IR eye with USB that I use 

By the way, I've been wondering... has any one noticed the similarities between the design of the PS3 (I have one too) and some B&O equipment?

It's got a bit of Beocentre 2200 about it + Beolab 4000's.

Wonder whether they took inspiration from these at all?
 

This looks very cool. Would this work in conjunction with the IR blaster setup with a  BeoSystem 3? So I could complete hide the ps3 away somewhere?? (except for changing dvds)

Yes, I have my PS3 on the wall behind my BV9 

Would it have to be a Beo5 or could a Beo4 do a similar job since it will be using the IR blaster I guess I could choose Sony DVD player from the list?

Both remote works ofcourse ;-)

But Beo5 is better to use in my opinion.... 

This is really brilliant stuff especially since I have a nice big NAS serving up movies and pictures via UPnP to my PS3. My only wish would be that the PS3 could upscale video from UPnP streaming and not just DVD discs.

Hi,

Is PS3 on the STB-controllerlist in the TV ?

Or how do you control the PS3 with the beo4.Is it play, stop, rewind when playing Blue ray?

 Yes BUT you must buy Nyko remote and you can not use on/off

You can buy it only from USA or eBay

 I have this: www.schmatrz.com and it much better

 

Anders,

 

can you move through your music, pictures, etc... or does it only work with the movie menu?

 

Thanks

Because I am not a gamer I have had no interest in the PS3. However now I am looking for a blu-ray player that has flexible outputs so that I can continue to use scart connection to my non-HD BV6-26. This would enable me to upgrade my DVD1 without forcing me to change the TV now.

This is even better if you can control the darned thing with a beo4. Because I don't know this product at all can anyone explain the on/off switch thingy. You all, obviously, understand what is going on but I don't. Is the devise being talked about from schwartz an infra red on-off? which will work with an stb?

Sorry for my ignorance but I have never owned a gaming machine.

I bought PS3 only to use it as BD player, but ofcourse you can use it with music, photos etc

The Schmartz gadget is a ir receiver same as eg Nyko, BUT he has made it so you can use on/off

PS3 use Bluetooth to pilot the consol, so if you want to use a IR remote you must have this

If I where you I should stick with DVD1 until you buy a full HD
 

 

Another interesting possibility can be OneRemote.

not for that price

schmartz cost 30 dollar and 50 with on/off function

 

The problem with waiting for the HD TV before you get the HD player is that you have to buy both at the same time. Getting one at a time enables you to get what you want which may be constrained with a double purchase.

Does the one remote allow the same sort of access as the stb? In other words will it allow link room access? If I wanted the PS 3 and bought the one remote when its available in March would I need anything else or will that do the job?

The one remote is more expensive but if it does the job then it looks tidier and the PS 3 does have a BL 4000 look to it.

 

 

Hi Anders,

I have a BV7 mrk III and I can`t find the PS3 in the puc-list.

I want to hide the PS3 in a cabin and use the schmartz and beo 4. How do I do ?

 If you buy IR from Schmartz you shall not use PS3 in STBlist. It will only work with Nyko remote

You shall choose a Sony DVD player. I shall look wich one I have in my list when I come home from work

Your dealer can update your BV7 with ir generator
