&lt;p&gt;What about LED or LCD display sets? Do these type of sets affect the remote control signal reliability?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is only an issue with Plasma screens in the same room.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The IR receiver on the Beosound 9000 cannot see the IR codes from the beo4 remote due to light noise and EMC from the plasma monitor. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Typically the noise level is stronger than the IR codes from the IR remote depending on the position and direction of the plasma screen in relationship to the Beosound 9000.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The 370 KHz IR light from the plasma monitor is disturbing the 455 kHz carrier of the B&amp;amp;O IR transmission.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The solution was &lt;span style="color:#0000ff;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;NOT&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; a software upgrade, but the replacement of PCB14 part number 8005299 which updated the AGC circuit (Automatic Gain Control) and improved infrared notch filtering.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I seem to recall that a &lt;b&gt;hardware&lt;/b&gt; upgrade exists for BS9000 Mk.I and Mk.II that makes the IR receiver more immune to plasma screens, already present in Mk.III.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Other than that, I&amp;#39;m afraid the only solution is to relocate your equipment so that the BS9000 won&amp;#39;t &amp;quot;see&amp;quot; the screen as directly as it does now. Even a small move might make the difference - if you don&amp;#39;t have them both fixed to the wall or something, it might be worth it to experiment a little.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>Beosound 9000 MKII SW 2.21 upgrade chip</title><link>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/250203.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 05 Jan 2010 02:07:51 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:250203</guid><dc:creator>Bowmanconsult</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/250203.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=42&amp;PostID=250203</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;Greetings gang!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I was having an issue with my Beo4 remote not working on my Beosound 9000 MKII while my plasma TV was on.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I was informed to install a SW 2.21 upgrade chip...which I did, but I&amp;#39;m still having the exact same problem.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Do I need to do something special after the chip installation to make the remote work properly?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Was this the right chip to install?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
