I have configured my Beo5 to work with my Beosound 8 using the official software from Version 4.11

Has anyone had issues controlling a Beosound 8 with this? Mine doesn't work at all - No Play/Pause, Previous or Next and the wheel will not control the volume.

Did you option program your beosound 8?

Have a look at the faq section of B&O web site.

What do you mean by Option program? I just selected Beosound 8 in the config software and it doesnt work. I'll have a look at the FAQs

Still no wiser - I have pressed 'Dock' and pressed everything but will still not work with my Beosound8.

B&O Products have different options to react when receiving IR signals. These are V.Opt for video products, A.Opt for audio products and L.Opt for link room products. These Options are from 0 to 6. Option programming is done with Beo4 or Beo5/6. Usually when you have only one B&O product in a room, you set Option 1. Factory setting for Beosound 8 is 5, so this could be your problem.

OK, I just read your latest post. So let's try the following (from the FAQ), asuming you have only a Beo5 at hand and no Beo4.

Option programming with Beo5/Beo6:

• While holding the • button, press the centre button to bring up the SETUP menu on Beo5/Beo6.
• Let go of both buttons.
• Press ‘Option Pgm’ to bring up the Option Programming display on Beo5/Beo6.
• Press the button that matches the zone in which the audio system is placed, for example, ‘Audio Area

Ok the area is called lounge, what's next?

After completing this procedure, the beosound 8 should respond to your beo5

You should try now

Did it work?

I have done that procudure above.

Into setup, opt programming, then pressed 'lounge' - the area where DOCK is, and it "clicked"but didnt do anything and still does not work.

Hi,

I've sent you a PM.
