    4500 and beo 4

    Hello,

     I have one very simple question. Since I have lost my beolink 1000 remote and I ain't gonna change my beosystem 4500(ever!), was wondering if I can control my system over beomaster 4500 with beo 4 remote.

     Thank you

     Milos

    Yes you can, Beo4 was intended as the replacement for Beolink 1000 

    But if i were you, i would see if i could find a used Beolink 5000 instead, then you will get 2-way communication and info/programming ability on the remote

    Re: 4500 and beo 4

    Haribo, if I were you I would use a Beo4 and start looking for another Beolink 1000 if programming is needed.
    Weebyx has a point about the programming and two-way but the Beolink 5000 is just bad compared to the other two. It will continually loose contact, the range is not as good and it doesn't feel as good ergonomically. And IMHO two-way is not that big a deal.

    I have had a BS4500 and tried all three remotes working it but actually ended on Beo4 after all programming was done.

    Also keep in mind that your BM4500 might not support two-way. I forgot from which SW version two-way is supported but others will probably fill me in.

    Hope it helps :)

    Yes, if you don't need the programming options, then the Beo4 is fantastic.

    Re: 4500 and beo 4

    Can you program the radio stations/frequencies with the 5000?

    Yes, you can. But if the BM4500 isn't a two-way version the BL5000 will effectively work as a flimsy BL1000.

    BM4500 supports two-way from SW 2.0 or 2.1 (can't remember which). I would definitely get a BL1000, it is excellent!

    The Beo4 is an excellent remote as well even though tuning radio stations on a BM4500 is not possible.

    Beo4 will work everyday functions perfectly so if you know someone who has a BL1000 you could borrow it for tuning and then use the Beo4.

    Re: 4500 and beo 4

    Thats exactly what i was thinking, however, I do not know anyone who has the bl1000. the owner had lost it and it didnt come with the bm4500 in the deal. I was also thinking that maybe the chaps at the dealer would be good sports and set my presets for me if I took my 4500 in to them.

    Re: 4500 and beo 4

    I had a BM 4500 before and as far as I remember you don't need a rc to set the stations. You can use the panel of the BM to do so. Just look at this.

    You're correct, but it would be nice to be able to search/scan/ radio stations and store from the Beo4 something which was possible with the 1000.

    Re: 4500 and beo 4

    So I called BeoCare yesterday and the gentleman on the other end of the line told me that in the list for radio there should be a button that's called "Go To". I never found it, even after looking through the "add?" list I couldn't find that either.

    Re: 4500 and beo 4

    Is A.SETUP already added to the List ?

    Although not directly relevant to tuning, 

    it is handy for adjusting bass/treble/loudness/balance/sound store.

    Re: 4500 and beo 4

    Yes, it is. By the way I just shot you another email. When attempting to tune it (BM4500) via touch panel, according to the manual picture, I do not have some of the buttons depicted in the manual on my touch panel. Such as "GO TO", "STORE" (they are displays in green however), or the "<" & ">", just volume up and down arrows.

    They appear in green when you touch PROGRAMMING

    Correct, but they are not buttons. Or are they?

    Re: 4500 and beo 4

    Yes, they are.

    You use them to tune the radio and store settings. 

    The BM4500 shows the available buttons after you press PROGRAMMING.

    Re: 4500 and beo 4

    Huh. Well the touch panel glass on my bm is damaged and isnt secured all the way. When I push a button it ocaisionally requires an unusual amount of pressure.

    But the left and right arrows are not present. Should they be?

    Re: 4500 and beo 4

    They should appear when you touch the green GOTO

    the options you have :

    - < / > : auto search

    - 0-9 : manually enter the frequency 

    - AM/FM : switch bands 

    - STORE : store current frequency 

    and so on. 

    Do you have the manual ?
