Re: Cant connect my PS2 with my Beovision MX 3500

Sorry to resurrect this old thread, I recently got a Beovision MX 3500 second hand and a Tevion MD 83388 universal remote with it.

I had a Meliconi Universal 5 Web remote as well and I am in the process to set it all up.

The Tevion was set to "Bang & Olufson" mode already and I managed to set the Meliconi to "Bang Olufsen" mode too.

Using the Meliconi I set up all TV channels without much hassle, but getting the PS2 to work seems to be impossible.

The PS2 has RCA out and I have adapters to S-VHS and SCART as well. Using both of the remotes I can manage to get into the menu to set the AV1/AV2 connections (they are set to V.TAPE-1 / NEW and V.TAPE-2 / NEW at the moment.) I turn on the PS2 and nothing happens, regardless which connection I have it connected to.

Since it doesn't switch on its own, I tried to find a way to force it, without success. Apparently the original remote has a VTAPE button, but I can't seem to setup my remotes to send the signal associated with that button. Is there any other way to switch to AV mode, or maybe I'm missing some other setting?

Solved!

Well.. first of all saying that those "universal" remotes are wack! you have to be a p
physician to be able to figure out how they work... the buttons doesnt do what the say and so on... but finally i managed to "hack" myself in the menu and set the SAT2 to VTAPE2 and that was it!

thanks for your input!

hi Michael, what button combination on your remote are you pressing to access the PS2?

when i had my MX3000 i remember you had to first select video on the remote and then use shift v-tape (or something similar) to access the scart socket?

I'm sure someone else here will give a better explanation.

Cant connect my PS2 with my Beovision MX 3500

Maybe any of you are able to help me with my little problem.

I bought a BeovisionMX 3500 for 20 quids the other day, but with no remotecontrol. When i connect my DVD it automaticly switch over to AV-channel and works great, but not with my Playstation 2- As not being able to reach the AV channels from the "channel-button" on the front of the TV i cant see the PS2 on screen. I suppose i need a Beolink 1000 remote to be able to access these channels, right? But as it is really expensive, i wonder if you know any 100% compatible remotecontrols? or another way to be able to play my PS2 on my MX 3500. Thanks! /Michael
