I've picked up a beolink 5000 remote with a beosystem 2500, the remote works fine with the 2500 but does not work with my Beosound 3000!! Does anyone know if they are not compatible.

 Also, I had the BS3000 playing through my Avant tv which is now gone. I now have some beolab 6000's connected to the BS3000 but the system must be set to just play through the tv (option 0 on the audio set up) as whilst I have sound coming through the 6000's I have no volume control atall. I do not have a Beo4 remote, is this the only way of switching the audio set up for option 1.

The Beosystem 2500 you use probably had two way communication. the BS3000 doesn't have this feature. You can use a Beolink 5000 with the BS3000 if you set it to one way communication. Unfortunately, I don't remember how you do this right now.

If you remove the batteries when you put them back in I think it will go in to one way mode.

display shows: TRMINAL SETUP?

Beolink 5000 will return to stand-by and is now set to 1-way

It's the other way round, it will go into 2-way

Thanks Ignace, I remember reading a few threads about loose contacts and presumed as most people use them in two way it reverted back to one way.

I've set the beolink 5000 to one way audio mode, but still no response from the beosound 3000!!

would i need to 'pair' the remote to the BS3000 or should it work automatically?

 

Your beosound is in the wrong option, thats why it don't work.

should be option 1 

In stand-by, press SOUND, 1, STORE.

BM3500 will show : O P 1  

 

With the BS3000 in standby.

Try SOUND 1 STORE on the Link 5000

That should put it into option 1

ok, i'm not worthy, thanks for all your help everyone, Ignace & Graham, bang on, did as you said and the bs3000 blinked once, all done!
