Is there a setting to increase the brightness on the Beo4 Cinema version , my one is quite dark compared to other devices with back lit displays . Have to change the batteries regularly as even a small voltage drop dims the display .

That's easy to test - press a button a hundred times and see if the number increments or not. I don't think I care enough to do that myself, though!

Waited for someone to do this but took me too long: Now I know, but I won't tell you (as you don't care) :

(For all others: it counts 100 times in dez)

Wow! Fascinating stuff Gunther, thanks
As Pattrn has a ? behind it, I pressed go and it gives a whole line of HHHHHHHHHs or IIIIIIIIIIs or ########s.
I guess this shows every pixel

An article on this subject would be handy.

That's what the service manual says. Not clear if the multiplicator is in hex or dez, so it could even be more (times 256 instead of 100) ending in "A" being 1045248 keypresses

Peter :

A:OFF3H

Soren is almost correct (but only almost ).

It's 100 times the event of any keypress and it's in hex. So 0FF3 equals 4083, times 100 is some 408300 times a keypress (must be a heavy Zapper )

B:0487H: 100 times pressing the "up"-key: 115900 times

C:OOE4H: 100 times pressing Vol+: 22800 times (at least your ears are still fine )

D: 0084H: 100 times pressing "LIST": 13200 times (so you seem to know what you want))

"Cont" was already mentioned.

That's what the service manual says. Not clear if the multiplicator is in hex or dez, so it could even be more (times 256 instead of 100) ending in "A" being 1045248 keypresses

Pattrn isn't mentioned but it's a short LCD test of adjacent or missing pixels.

Best,

Gunther

A B C D are counters I can't remember what B C D are, but A counts 1 up when you push a button ( in HEX) in Peters case A =0FF3H = 65328 times

What does a Beo4 remote control update kit cost?

Peter :

CONT:04

That's the contrast setting of the LCD!

Great! I just changed mine to 02 and now I can see what it says when the remote is laying on the desk
