psand:
There are also chances that you have a two-way capable MX 4000. Mine is a type 3527 from 1992 and it can be controlled directly with a Beolink 7000 (although I prefer the Beolink 5000 for daily use).

Hi,

I can confirm that all MX4000 models from 1992 to 1995 had two-way IR control. The two-way communication was removed in later models (software upgrade, or should I say downgrade?), when the Beo4 terminal was introduced.

If you have a Beocenter 2300 capable of two-way infrared communication (type 27xx, produced 1992-93), you should be all set — regardless of the capabilities of the MX 4000 and the DVD 1. Connect the audio and video systems with an Audio AUX Link cable (7-pin male-to-male DIN) and put the audo system in option 2 and the video system in option 0. With this setup, all IR commands and feedback are routed through the BC 2300.

There are also chances that you have a two-way capable MX 4000. Mine is a type 3527 from 1992 and it can be controlled directly with a Beolink 7000 (although I prefer the Beolink 5000 for daily use). If your's happen to be a similar, early-generation MX 4000, you can set both audio and video system to option 1. In this case, there's no need for the Audio AUX Link cable, unless you want an integrated A/V system.

The DVD 1 is controlled by the television. Connect it to the AV2 SCART and configure as "CDV" in the MX 4000 setup menu. You may also have to reconfigure your Beolink 7000 remote in order to activate the CDV (DVD) selection.

Hi,

One way means you have no feedback from your audio system on the remote control, wherease two-way, which is the reason for making BeoLink 7000, is providing real-time feedback from your BeoCenter to the remote, = displays "CD3" or "BBC NEWS" when listening to the radio, if you have RDS on both devices. You can also timer program the system via the remote without ever turning the BeoCenter on..you can also program light control startup & turn off sequences with it, etc...that's why we all want B&O to bring back 2-way communication on their remote controls!!

If you have a two-way equipped 2300 then the answer is yes it will! (with full two-way functionality).

The way to tell is if there is an IR sensor on the bottom left hand side of the stereo in the black bar under the glass.

If not you will be able to control it but only in one-way mode. MX is not two-way compatible and I am not convinced the DVD1 actually has an IR input (somebody feel free to correct me if this is not the case)!

Hope this helps,
