Ended up using a Logitech Harmony Remote 1000. Downloaded software to control 5500 and works well.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/299471.aspxSat, 30 Oct 2010 10:21:34 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:299471tournedos0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/299471.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=30&PostID=299471<p>So you have a Beosystem 5500? Unfortunately no way of controlling the volume without another remote... so in the meantime you should get yourself a Beolink 1000 or a Beo4!</p> <p>Finding the spare part may be a bit of a problem, but replacing it won&#39;t be a big job to someone who knows what he&#39;s doing. Cleaning the switch would be a good idea for starters anyway, could be that it won&#39;t make continuous contact anymore while you turn the wheel.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/299466.aspxSat, 30 Oct 2010 10:00:21 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:299466bebopdeluxe430https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/299466.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=30&PostID=299466<p>sounds like the optosensor...any way to manually control volume? also is there a cost effective way to fix the sensor?</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/299388.aspxFri, 29 Oct 2010 16:08:51 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:299388tournedos0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/299388.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=30&PostID=299388<p>...and also, the optical sensor that gives the actual rotational signal.</p> <p>If the MCP lights up when you turn the wheel, the switch is OK, but the optosensor is gone... if it doesn&#39;t wake up on the wheel alone, the switch is the probable culprit.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/299386.aspxFri, 29 Oct 2010 16:02:24 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:299386Blackrix0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/299386.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=30&PostID=299386<p>There is a two way switch under the wheel that registers if you turn the wheel to the left or to the right.
