Hi,

I recently purchased a second hand BV7-32 MKI and are now struggling to incorprate in to my existing link system. Any advice would be highly appreciated. My setup are as follows.

Main room: BV5 MKI used as a master

Room 2: BV 7-32 connected via ML and RF to the BV5. 7-32 is set to option 6

Room 3: BV 6-26 MKI connected via ML and RF from the BV 7-32 link out to the BV 6-26. BV 6-26 is set to option 4.

My initial problem is that if I use the remote in room 3, the tv in room 2 is also reached by the remote. Thats the reason I have set the BV 6-26 to option 4 (i.e. it should only respond to link commands. However, I have noticed that when i press link + tv in room 3, the tv in room 2 also power up. Is there anything I can do to avoid this? In fact, it seems as if the BV7-32 is the first one to start up and then I have a picture on the BV 6-26 despite the fact that I pressed link + tv. This also affects other functions of the tv:s If I want for instance wants to turn the tv to the right of left using the "stand" funtion on the Beo4, both tv:s are affected.

Surely there must be a way to avoid this? I can however not find out what I am doing wrong. 

From what I understand there is a very short distance between the two rooms?

try to put them on option 6 ....

True, there's not much of a distance between the two rooms and unfortunately no door to close either.

As regards putting them into option 6, would that not make them responde to the same commands from the remote? 

My guess is whatever option you put to both of the them (e.g. 4-5-6) you will have the same problem.

However just an idea popped out. Try to use this signal reducer they have on B&O shops. It's a plastic cup you put on top of Beo4 and this way you have a significantly lower ir transmition.

another idea but not sure if this would work is to use a Beo5. Maybe in this case it could work as well.

Spiros:

use a Beo5

Beo5's signal is a lot stronger than the Beo4... that would be worse.

I have a similar problem, with semi-open rooms, and I am fine if I use Beo4, but when I use Beo5 everything goes off at the same time.

Indeed, but wouldn't a signal reducer on the Beo4 work for both of you?

The signal reducer would have the complete opposite effect - I find them to be far too directional!

???????????????????????????? but they have it as the name says. reducer!!!

I think you may have misunderstood me Spiros, what I meant is that the 'Reduced range' caps make it very difficult to use as you have to point the remote control directly at the IR receiver.

It makes them look a lot more attractive

Correct! and that might be a solution but of course some times will be hard!!!

  Indeed Puncher, Indeed!!!!

Hmm, a signal reducer could of course be a solution. However, I think I will play around a little bit more with the different option settings to start with. The funny thing is that I did nit have the same problem when I had my AV9000 in the same place as I have the BV6-26 now. But it was of course not linked to the system... 

And Spiros, I definetely agree with you. The AV9000 really is something special. 

Hello Emil.

AV9000 is the SPECIAL TV regardless of whatever anything says.

In my opinion whatever option you might use the problem will still be there.

But i'm wondring why AV9000 did not get the signal? I think it should be irrelevant of being on the link or not.

Maybe you can get a signal reducer from your local B&O store just to test it. I think it might save you a lot of time and puzzling!!!! And keep this post updated. It's quite interesting to know!
