Thank you again,

Hello Samuk

Welcome to Beoworld.

I think you should first check that the Beolink1000 is working correctly. Using a digital camera or cameraphone point the remote towards the camera lense and press volume to see in the camera display if the infa red lights up on the Beolink1000.

Samuk,

The remote is key to the operation of your system pieces.  I keep a spare (or 4) so I can adjust volume and so on.

Steve,

A most useful tip about the camera!  I have not come across that one before  (is it just me or is it new to others?).  I have just been tyring out several remotes - including non B&O to test it! 

If only I had known about it a few years ago when wondering if my remote or TV was not working.....

Hi:

This is a fairly new trick to me. I think I picked it up on here and I have used it on several occasions. It has proved to be invaluable.

Graham

Used the camera phone trick for few years now. With a BL1000, I can see it with my eye. As long it is in a dark room.

Craig

Were you using the Beomaster connected to the TV for sound using the TV speakers? If so I think the beomaster may be in the wrong option.

You may need to reset it to option 1.

Chris.

Try the IR remote/camera phone trick with a two-way B&O product. It's ace - like watching War of the Worlds or Star Trek or something!

Dear All

 Thanks a millions for the all reply. I  tried with camara and phone last night I cannot see any red light and same time  I have clean the connectors as well. Iam 100/100 It used to work fine until our TV has broken.

To let you know now I have connect my Beomaster to myBeo gram CD 6500 with pair of Bose speakers. Earlier I have only used my BL1000 with my Beo vision LX5500(no other  systems are attached)

If myBL1000 need to be reset pls let me know how and  or worst come can it repair any suggestion,

Have a good day

Best Regds,

Hi:

You will not see a red light but a brightish flash (white light I think) if your remote is working. Here is what you need to do:

1 Place your camera or phone camera lens in close proximity to theremote control's emitter bulb (you should be able to see this through the view-finder).

2. Whilst looking through the viewfinder, depress any of the remote's buttons. A bright flash should be seen on the camera's view screen.

Sorry if this is all fairly obvious. However, have you checked the battery terminals of the remote for corosion and/or have you tried fresh batteries? Sometimes it is the simplest things that cause the biggest problems.

Thanks

Graham

Dear Greham,

sir Thanks for the reply. I will try again today evening. I have replced all new battries why because when I aws not using my BL1000(over  02 Years) I have remove the battries,

This can be a real problem since all Beolink 1000s are getting rather old. In the old days, you could still buy cheap non-alkaline batteries (you'd think most B&O first owners could have afforded decent batteries, but...) and they very often leaked when left in for too long. I've seen Beolink 1000s so corroded in the inside that it was a small wonder they still worked!

Even after you clean the battery contacts, the wires that connect to the battery compartment may have corroded solderings that do not work anymore. Even more so, if the battery holder is loose and moves inside the remote. Easy to fix if you know how to solder, but requires disassembly of the remote. Be sure to try fresh batteries first - sometimes touching corroded electronics just makes things worse and you're off to a complete overhaul, meaning ultrasonic cleaning etc...

Dear Mr Greham,

I will try with another set of battries today and see how is goes and try clean the terminal properly,

Thank you,

Best Regds,

Samuk

Good Morning!

Dear Mr Greham and all,

I have change the battaries  and check  I can see the white blue lights are flashing on my BL1000.

But Sadly in wont do anything.I have pressed the rest button too No luck. Can you tell me what to do or how to rest .

Only thing i worried my speaker cable connection + and - is that going to be a cause theBL1000 not working,

Thank you,

Rest Regds,

No, that can't be the problem. Perhaps the original owner had the tv and the Beomaster connected together, and the Beomaster might be programmed to option 0 (i.e it doesn't use its own IR receiver, just takes commands from the tv).

Try this to program the Beomaster to option 1, that is enable its own remote receiver:

With the Beomaster in standby, press SOUND - 1 - STORE on the Beolink 1000. Hopefully you will see the standby LED flash briefly, and from then on the remote should work.

Thanks for the reply. I will surely do that Today and let all you know. Iam sure pervious owner had connected all the units to his Beovision and used B4

Thanks again,

Best Regds,

Samuk

Good Morning!

Hi Samuk.
To me, it looks like the contact buttons inside your Beolink 1000 are faulty.
Is there any way to borrow a remote from someone?
Beolink 1000s come up for sale frequently on eBay and are not usually very expensive.

Andy T.

Hi ,

Thanks for reply and advice. I will try to find out another rmote and see weather it will work. I can see the blue light are flashing even when iam pressing arrows  next to the sound button but when i press only sound or rest or off button i cannot see the light.

Thanks,

Samuk
