It worked! But i didn't need to assign it as decoder, i just needed to go to MORE on the channel assign menu and go through the AV :P

Thanks for all your time :)

I'm so happy for you that it works !

Enjoy the Wii and of course BeoWorld !

Perhaps if you select Decoder, you can use the normal TV command on Beo4

Sound : AV + TV

You would have to assign a channel-number to the program that shows the "decoder"

What type of device can you select from AV ?

Re: Beo4 remote question(s)

caBur — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 05:25:10 GMT

If you by socket-menu mean SOURCE, where i choose what type of device i have connected to the AV output, then... No, i can't select SAT.

In the Avant, is SAT selected somewhere ?

Can you select "SAT" from the AV-socket-menu in Avant ?

Yes, the sound works great on the TV. No really advance soundsettings, just mono/stereo/surround.
I just think it has something to do with settings, since i can't even make the sound system connect to either V.AUX or V.TAPE2 through AV. Somehow, when i start flipping through LIST, the AV command just cancels. Don't have any trouble connecting to SAT (which i don't even use) or anything like that.

Is there sound from the Wii through the Avant speakers ?

Does the Wii have some kind of setting for analog / digital audio / output ?

Hmmm, i think i gave you wrong info. They are apparantly connected through masterlink cable, my bad.

Wii is connected through a scart connector (which was included) to the AV scart output.

Thanks, that gives a better overview.

The Option setting i was referring to is a setting that tells the B&O components
how to respond to remote control.

As you have indicated that the Ouverture responds to AV + SAT, it seems that Option setting is correct.

What puzzles me is the connection between Avant and Ouverture.
Both have Masterlink, so to connect them via an AUX cable would mean that you also use a converter
to have the AUX-cable connect to Masterlink-cable.

The wii, is it connected via a SCART-connector ?

I get the impression that the problem is not in the relaying of sound,
but getting sound into the Avant.

I'm not familiar with the types of connections that wii uses,
a quick Google-search shows video connection by component, composite and s-video,
but these are video-connections, not audio.

Ok, will answer as much as i can.

- Avant (VCR or DVD)
    *Since it's never had any DVD, i suppose it's... VCR

- which other components connected / to which socket(s)
    *V.TAPE connected to its appropiate slot, antenna cabel connected, WII connected through AV

- which B&O audio
    *B&O Beosound Ouverture

- types of connection (between Avant and B&O audio)
    *AUX port to Avant

- Option setting of Avant and audio
    *Don't really know what kind of info you want here.

- how is the wii registered in the sockets menu of Avant (as V.TAPE2 ?)
    *As of now, it is through V.AUX. Tried V.TAPE2, no difference.

Is the wii registered correctly in the Avant ?
If the Avant doesn't "know" what is connected,
it can't relay the audio.

So, if you add for example V.TAPE2 to Beo4 list,
make sure V.TAPE2 is also registered in the Avant sockets menu.

Could you give an exact description of your setup ?

- Avant (VCR or DVD)
- which other components connected / to which socket(s)
- which B&O audio
- types of connection (between Avant and B&O audio)
- Option setting of Avant and audio
- how is the wii registered in the sockets menu of Avant (as V.TAPE2 ?)

Regarding missing button;
your version of Beo4 is somewhat different (AV-button),
but controlling B&O should be possible without any serious limitations.
