Did you check the IR-emitter with your handy Camera?

Thanks everyone for the help, doesn't look like there is an easy answer though.

Might look for another Beo4.

There is also the possibility that your Beo4 has been set to a permanent link mode. To disable press standby list, then list again until you reach "config" (not sure what to do if config is not present on your remote) and then 2 0 0 2.

I suspect that the Beo4 has keyboard problems. The remote is faulty.

As far as I know, there is no way to disable the buttons on the remote and no way to enable them.

The setting up functions on the remote merely control what additional functions are present when you press LIST (a quicker ADD/REMOVE function)

View the IR emitters with your mobile phone camera and press the offending buttons - you should see the IR diodes emit the signal if the buttons are working.

Probably your BEO4 has an older SW. For the moment, i'm afraid, I have no clue.

Thanks hfat

When I press Standby+List I only get three options

Option?

Add?

Remove?

I don't seem to get the option to select Config?

Is this hidden?

Hello,

I think you should try to use a different audio config for the beo4. Setting A.Mode or V.Mode configures the device how it responds to IR commands and not the BEO4 which commands it sends:

Standby+List

select Config

select Audio

select Basic.

It's worth a try. (BEO4 guide, page 14)

Works fine using the buttons on it.

I just tried a.opt 1 on my Beosound 1 and all worked fine. Your Beosound 1 works fine using the bittons on it, correct?

I only have one B&O unit the Beosound 1

Sorry, I should probably have described this more clearly, I'm trying to use a beo4 with a beosound 1, but the aforementioned buttons don't work and therefore I can't operate the beosound 1.

I've recently purchased the beo4 off someone who has exclusively used the remote with an mx4000.

I wondered if I had to add a.setup?

Are video and audio sources connected by Masterlink or separate systems?

Thanks kai, I've tried to do this but it doesn't seem to have fixed the problem. But I'm really new to all of this and might have done something wrong. [:'(]

You will need to put it in option v opt 2, then you should be able to bring through your cd radio :)
