Re: Beolink 7000 setting to one way?

The RDS function is pretty useless anyway. It doesn't display the radio station anywhere except the little white on blue display.
I find I have to go right up to it and lift my glasses to read it.

Why do you want to upgrade the software? I have an original one and it works fine. If you are not using RDS then I don't think there is much point. I think you may find it tricky to get hold of anyway.

I think to upgrade your BL 7000 you have to change a chip. Please ask your dealer or Mikael (ridax). But I doubt it makes sense to upgrade. You won`t have any RDS info on your BL 7000 and the fast forward - rewind function will not work, because of the the lack of colored buttons. TRACK function works via GOTO. STAND function for BV7 via PICTURE mode and SPEAKER function via SOUND mode.

If I remember correctly, you have all these functions on SW1.3 BL 7000, right?

Stefan;

That helps, seems then that the "no contact" should be there at all times.

How can I upgrade the SW? Or can I at all upgrade it?

I tested one way with my 3.1 BL 7000. It works great in my main room with BS 9000, BV7-40, BM1, BL5. I think this is nearly the same setup you have, right? I can control all the sources including digital stb via V.MEM, Beomedia N.MUSIC and N.RADIO. Of course it does not display channel- and volume data. And after reactivating the remote you will read "no contact" on the blue display and below that all the available sources. But I can control them all. I think the "no contact" display just remind you that the remote is in one way mode and does not receive any info.

Normally my Bl 7000 works in a link room with an 2way MX 4000 and a BS 7000 in 2way mode but linked to the main room.

Hope this helps.

I don't have any video sources put to it.

I only have 3 sources, CD, Radio and A. Aux

That is the problem. It is set to video 2 way, and is waiting for an aswer from the video system as well. Remove all the video sources from the configuration.

Well I don't have any video components at all at the moment.

BTW is the software upgradable? Looks sure like the 1.3 SW is a very old one.

You've changed the AUDIO to one-way, but is VIDEO maybe still in two-way? If it is then it tries to find two-way video components.

Change the VIDEO also to one-way if you don't have two-way video components.

Maybe ridax (Mikael) in Sweden has an idea. He is spcialised in BL 7000 and ipod and 2 way communication and....

You can contact him here:

http://home.swipnet.se/ridax/ipod.htm

He is also a Beoworld member.

BTW: I have two BL 7000s: one is SW 2.X and the second is the latest model 3.1 both with RDS. SW1.3 is one of the oldest models - maybe there is something different...??

Good luck

Yes, I did store it. My Beolink 7000 is even regularly serviced, changed battery, changed internal memory battery, changed the capacitators, (two way stopped)

So it's well taken care of. Shame really, since I love it. Have probably spent around 250 euros on keeping it alive.

The SW is 1.3.

Yes strange...Did you store the new configuration?

Re: Beolink 7000 setting to one way?

bayerische — Sat, 25 Oct 2008 16:18:15 GMT

Yes there is one, the bc2300, but it's unplugged, so it's not even getting any power.

Strange, I've must have done it 10 times according to your suggestions, but still it takes a while before it starts and says "no contact" while it lists the available sources.

Re: Beolink 7000 setting to one way?

If BL 7000 detects a 2 way device it will return to 2 way mode.

Are you sure that there are no two-way compatible products in the room when doing this?
