Re: Beocenter 9000 help needed for setting options

I tend to agree with Ulf. I have just connected a BC9000 to my BV3/32 via a Beolink converter and have the problem that selecting any radio station except 11 (1 twice) is impossible. I then obscured the ir sensor on the BC9000 and hey presto everything appears to work as expected The BV3/32 has a surround module which is driving a pair of BL8000 and a B&W active subwoofer. The overall effect is pretty impressive

No, put the MX into OPTION 2,

plug speakers on MX,

ir eye darkening of the BC9000, thats the trick.

It should work just fine with both the Beocenter and the TV set to option 1 (i.e the BC will respond to audio commands, the TV to video commands). AV-TV then simply selects the AUX input in the rear of the Beocenter, and I believe the television will route there the source it would after simply pressing TV, which is the analogue tuner. AV-SAT would get another source from the TV, and so on.

And AV-RADIO for example will turn on the TV in audio mode and route the tuner of the Beocenter over there, which is quite logical I think

Even my Beocenter 8000 is sensible in this respect - I have it at the office with no Beovision, but it is needed for TV sound anyway. I set it to option 2 (only one IR receiver in a main room, which means the unit will pick up both audio & video commands), and now simply "TV" on any remote selects the AUX, where I have the STB connected.

Yes, this gets confusing pretty fast

From memory!!!!! To get TV sound in the 9000 speakers try AV, TV on the remote. If that doesn't work then somebody with a better memory than me will have to help you!

Not sure if it will be the same for an MX, but when I had a Beocenter 900 connected to my BV3-32. To get the TV's sound through the Beocenter's speakers, I had to press AUX followed by 1, 2, 3, or 4. Whatever number you selected after pressing AUX, selected what source that was connected to the TV came through the speakers. Can't remeber which number related to which source, but you get the idea. What I can tell you is the 4 sources were. STB (SAT), VCR, DVD, and the RF connection. Mine was also an early BC9000 and I could not set it to option 0 either.

Connect the speakers to the 9000.

Set audio option 1 and video option 1. That should get round the double entry problem.

From memory!!!!! To get TV sound in the 9000 speakers try AV, TV on the remote. If that doesn't work then somebody with a better memory than me will have to help you!

Thanks Graham. Unfortunately it didn't work... I must have an early BC 9000. Additionally, when I press TV on my remote the BC turns on as well, so I have to turn off the BC manually to use the TV.

Your speakers should be connected to the TV. Video option should be 2 audio option should be 0

All the commands are now going to be processed through the TV not both systems as was happening with your previous setup.

Some early BC9000 will not accept option 0 so your link options are limited.

Beocenter 9000 help needed for setting options

Jonathan — Sat, 02 May 2009 07:29:13 GMT

Hi Beoworlders,

I've just plugged in my 9000 and connected it to my MX7000. When the Beocenter is powered on (not on Standby) I have trouble with my TV. The TV receives commands from the remote twice e.g. if I press the number 2 to change the channel I get 22 instead. This only happens when the Beocenter is on. When it is on Standby the TV is fine. I assume it is set to the incorrect option. I just tried downloading the manual from here, but it did not work, so I do not know how to change the option setting. If someone could guide me in the right direction that would be great. I need to know which option it should be set to and the button sequence I use on the remote control (either Beolink 1000 or Beo4)

Thanks in advance,

Jonathan
