Hi

I have the system dock connected to my BV 7-40 but I can only use the remote with it when I include the apple remote into my Beo 5. The IR connection witha cable betwen the twodoes not work.

Apart from that does anybody know how I incorporate the Systrem Dock into the Beo 5. I cannot find it there. I bought it for my BV10 to arrive in March and I got told that I chosse it from an STB list when I incoporate it into my system and then it would work with the iR cable connection. Still I am not clear how to program this with the Beo 5? Maybe somone has the System Dock incorporated in his system using the Beo 5 and the dock connected with IR cable to make full use of the thing and can help?

Assuming you are using an European version of 7-40 Mk4 or 5.

I'm using the FS-23 connected to a BV 10-46-EU and I installed a FS-23 on a BV 7-40Mk5-EU of friends
(both systems with new Beo4s)

setup of TV:

- used AV3 and set it to "V.AUX2" or "PC"
- set AV 3 to YPbPr to YES
- *) installed a 3.5mm mono jack <> 3,5mm mono jack cable from FS 23 to TV
  (aesthetics - to avoid visible cables on the front of the dock)  
- *) choosed "CABLE" in the IR submenu
- on the 7-40 I used a SCART to 3x Cinch/RCA "camera adapter" to connect the sound cable

*) if you want to use an IR-blaster cable set "IR" in  the IR submenu.

check on your TV:

- PUC list already updated via service tool? 
- iPort FS-23 appears in your TV in the list of selectable Set-Top-Boxes?

Beo5:

- Beo5 programming will be just the "source name" (in my case it would be "PC" or "V.AUX2") and
  "Menu" to open the "Help for Navigation"
- all the other buttons to navigate " << ; >> ; UP ;  DOWN ; 4 x colours ; back and play/go"
  already exist on a Beo5 as "real" buttons. 

Yes, I am in Germany and ue a 7-40 MK 1 for test pupose only as I am waiting for my BV10 which I bought it for. The FS-23 therefore cannot be in any STB listing in my old 7-40 (what it a Puklist). I really want to use the IR cable connection because the IR eye off the FS-23 will be in a cupboard hidden (as I find it horrible to look at).

So if I understand you right the key is the listing in the STB list. So once  I have my BV10 I can connect the RGB Port and the Audio and the IR cableports between the 2 devices and the FS 23 can be handled without using the 'Apple- Coammands' (which only work direct with the FS-23 IR eye which I definitely do not want) with satndard B+O IR commands direct via th IR cable and NOT the eye onthe FS-23? I am asking because it is very unusual that I do not have to 'program' the Beo5 for it and it is crucial for me.

If it works that way can you access the FS-23 from link rooms?

Thanks a lot!

...what it a Puklist ... 

PUC = Peripheral Unit Controller:
A more general term for all kind of units a B&O TV is able to control (eg Screens, BD-Players, ...) 
including "real" Set-Top-Boxes like SAT/Cable receivers. 

B&O order # 6271086 is a 2,5m controller cable 3,5<>3,5mm for FS-23 , transmitting the commands
directly from TV >> iPort electrically.

so did I get it right?

Do you know whther it does work n a link room?

... it's just one more source connected to the TV, like an external DTV-receiver / BD-Player / ...
and should work in link-roms the same way as your recently connected external sources. 

If  AV3 of the recent TV setup has not already been configured to a source/command like
"PC", "V.AUX", "V.MEM" ; ... reprogramming of Beo5 will be necessary.

I understand how to program my Beo 5 and I do have PC and AUX etc.

Normally one needs to set the software in the beo 5 to particular hardware.

...my dealer just tells me that in in the software the IPORT ist listed under STB but it is not? Can somebody check his software (4.11) for IPORT or FS-23 please?

Beo5/6 Configuration Tool 4.11 :

Product Browser >> Choose Poducts/Produkte wählen >> Others/Sonstige >> PUC Sources >> STB >> iPort >> iPort FS23

it is not in my list I checked again and again???

Do I have to uninstall the old software completely before intalling 4.11? I did not do that.

OKF:

it is not in the my list I checked again and again???

Sorry, your 4.11 seems to be offline and hence not been updated to the latest specs  - ask your dealer !

PS: additionally ?you? / your dealer will still have to update the PUC/STB list of your TV via the service tool ...  

The dealer is not of any help. I always did work offline as everybody does here.  A version should be a version. Are there additional updates to it? Are you sure? How can I get those beeing 'offline'?

PS: maybe you could send me the XML file which is in the software root under

Third Parties

Puc Sources

10.STB

 I do not know whther that file will be enough to get it implementetfor the Beo 5 but maybe worth a try and data is small.

Would you da that?

OKF:

A version should be a version. Are there additional updates to it? Are you sure?

The current version still is 4.11 - that's not the problem.

As mentioned in one of my previous posts - you have all the "buttons" needed for navigation as "hard keys"
on your Beo 5 - just the source name/command  for the AV input of your choice and "Menue" have to be added
to the Beo5 config ... 

Yes I am clear on tha but I do not have dealer access, would you from your computer from the path as mentioned above copy the xml file? I am not talking about the software itself I am talking about the root where it is installed and the xml is there on your computer.
