Re: unlock region coding for beocenter 2 (MK II)???

I am reliably informed that you can use a Palm Pilot and download the software from the internet, but i cannot substantiate this!

Our B&O engineer refuses to Multi-Region B&O products though as it's actually against B&O policy (and i think it may even be illegal?). If anyone asks me to MR a product, i have to take it to a man in a dark basement where you have to knock twice and promise not to look at him..

Yes of course, that is why B&O make the remote, sell the remote and provide the instructions.

Pablo,

While the reg1 and reg2 commands are not on a standard "non-magic" beo4, I wonder if those commands might be found on the Beo5 somewhere. It would be such a great contribution to the site if anyone could help locate those codes. Perhaps someone with a "magic beo4" might use a lintronic device to detect the codes.

hi, how can you tell if you have a BC2 mark I or II?

Hi,

Is there anybody can tell me what is "No.7" mean? at the following 3)?

I also could not find REG1 or REG2 on my Beo4.

BC2

Program the BC2 to option 2

1) Put A.Aux in the List on the BC 2
2) Select A.Aux on the BC2 (must be in the display of the BC2)
3) (See No.7 Before attempting next section) Press List on the Beo4 remote until REG 2 is in the display.
GO
222222005255
GO
5) 1 Second between the commands
6) BC2 shows DISK in the display and goes back to A.Aux
7) Now the BC2 is programmed to region code "0"

In light of Keith's new 3rd party IR software for the Beo5, I wanted to bump this thread up in hopes that someone might be able to discover the "REG1" and "REG2" codes.

These are all the codes I have. I think I lost/deleted the DVD1, but that can be unlocked by hard key on the DVD1 itself.

However, I have no idea how to obtain the codes for REG1 and REG2 and whether that code can be mimmicked on a Beo5

BeoVision 7 32"/40" 0:

Switch on the BeoVision 7 in dvd mode

1) No dvd in loader
2) Loader closed
3) Use the Beo4 remote to press
2
REG 2 (in the list)
Press go
222222005255
Shift 0
5) When the first IR-code is transmitted there will appear an X on the top left side of the television screen. After 2 seconds this X will disappear
6) Wait 1 Second between the commands
7) If the X appears for a second time start all over again
8) Now the product is programmed to region code "0"
9) Do not use the region code settings in the service menu!

BC2

Program the BC2 to option 2

1) Put A.Aux in the List on the BC 2
2) Select A.Aux on the BC2 (must be in the display of the BC2)
3) (See No.7 Before attempting next section) Press List on the Beo4 remote until REG 2 is in the display.
GO
222222005255
GO
5) 1 Second between the commands
6) BC2 shows DISK in the display and goes back to A.Aux
7) Now the BC2 is programmed to region code "0"

Avant DVD & BeoCenter 1:

Switch on the Avant or BeoCenter 1 in dvd mode

1) No dvd in loader
2) Loader closed
3) Use the Beo4 remote to press
2
REG 2 (in the list) REG 1 if Phillips mechanism
Press Go
222222005255
Shift 0
5) When the first IR-code is transmitted there will appear an X on the top left side of the television screen. After 2 seconds this X will disappear
6) Wait 1 Second between the commands
7) If the X appears for a second time start all over again
8) Now the product is programmed to region code "0"
9) Do not use the region code settings in the service menu!

The Small Print:- I guess I should also caveat this information just incase anyone does get hold of the REG1 and REG2 codes that this information has been given with the best intentions possible and that anyone using such codes does so at their own risk and that any errors could cause serious faults to your equipment and possible invalidate your B&O warrenty.

Keith,

With your extensive knowledge of B&O IR codes and the Beo 5, would you have any idea what the "REG2" and "REG1" codes might be on the Beo5 Configuration Tool?

beojeff — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 07:54:47 GMT

You would be such a hero on Beoworld if you could share those codes! Is the sequence that you posted the actual sequence to unlock the BeoCenter 2 MK1?

magnushj:
Would be interesting to hook one of those remotes up to an oscilloscope and have a look at the output. Maybe one could build a small remote containing just those two buttons and use a normal beo4 for the rest of the commands.
If the commands and numbers are the same for all units when you are in the menu a one button remote that sends the codes the beo4 can't as a macro would do. :)

The sequence and input codes for all products is different to one another. i.e. BV7 is different from Avant, which is different from BC1. DVD1 etc.. However, interesting concept for the use of the Beo5.

Mr10Percent:

I have one of those Beo4's in my collection. It was purchased from "Hifi Dealer" before they went bump. Think I paid £300 for it. However, it has unlocked 3 BV7's, an Avant DVD, a BC1 and a BC2 (MK1) to date so I'm guessing I'm about breakeven compared to paying a dealer who would be prepared to do it.
The remote has through the List button got 2 extra lines: REG1 and REG2 (which are nothing to do with the region but to do with the send code.
A typical input on how to program a BC2 to region code "0" would be:-
1) Program the BC2 to option 2
2) Put A.Aux in the List on the BC 2
3) Select A.Aux on the BC2 (must be in the display of the BC2)
4) (See No.7 Before attempting next section) Press List on the Beo4 remote until REG 2 is in the display
GO
222222005255
GO
5) 1 Second between the commands
6) BC2 shows DISK in the display and goes back to A.Aux
7) Now the BC2 is programmed to region code "0"
The whole process takes 20 seconds.

A lintronic box will show you the command it send and can lean it. Then any with a lintronic, can get the software and do it them self.

I've looked through all of the B&O IR codes in the Beo 5 Configuration Tool. Nothing seems to resemble "REG1" or "REG2." Perhaps they are listed as some other IR code or a string of codes?
