    Beo4 Query

    Reply Contact

    I've just become the proud possessor of an AV9000 (yay a lot) & I'm trying to figure out the Beo 4. I'm not actually using the AV1 slot for the VCR as I need the scarts for DVD & Freeview. I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to reassign a button on the Beo 4, not just put one in the list. For example - I'd like to link the SAT button to the V-Tape 2 command as I don't use this button & it makes a logical sort of sense.

     Any suggestions guys? Embarrassed

    I like the design of these TVs and considered buying one for a second bedroom, but is it really a worthwhile purchase considering that the tubes could go at anytime and I am guessing are not replaceable? Your thoughts appreciated. With thanks, Simon.

    PD: think the best option is a lintronic box IMO

    The tube in LX-MX and AV9000 is very good and has no problems like the bigger 16/9 tubes Smile

    Pretty sure they are hard keys so not possible - you need to use the List. I use the AVX2 so I can have many things attached to the AV9000. I have the V,Tape attached to AV1 and a Sky box worked by a STB-C, a DVD-R/Freeview device worked by the DVD controller and a Nintendo Wii attached to AV2. And they all work!!

    The picture on the AV9000 is one of the best available and my screen has less than 100 hours on it! Very much worth having!!

    The tube in the AV9000 is the same as that fitted to the MX6000 so replacement is not a problem given the number of cheap MX6000's on the secondhand market. I understand that nobby has done this repair with complete success.

    hi,

    quick q on the beo4 / a bit OT -just got my first, and perused manuals here and elsewhere + what was apparently the start of a beo4 faq on this site...
    my stupid question: is the display always on? or does it go to sleep / can it be turned off?

    TIA!

    Display stays on. Uses next to nil power though, so not to worry. Smile

    Absolutely no issues there, this remote has been in production for a long time, remaining practically unchanged for almost a decade! Smile

    Agree 100% with David. I have seen many many Beo4's and have never seen a screen with any burn in.

    The batteries will last so long you will forget when you last changed them!

    Graham, can the SW of the Beo4 be changed by reprogramming or does one always have to change the pcb? I'd like have N.MUSIC instead of A.TAPE2 on one of my Beo4's.

    No you cannot... you can only configure the List button.

    If you use N.MUSIC a lot you can place N.MUSIC first in the list.

    Reprogramming is not possible I'm afraid. The only way is to change the pcb.

    Bummer! Maybe I'll get a "old" pcb in the future, as don't need V.MEM and so on from the latest version for my AV5. I even don't need the DVD button..... let's see, they sometimes pop up on ebay.

    Can you tell the version of the SW from a sticker or something else without switching the pcb on?
