Hi Nick,

did you have any luck with the IR sensor,

Could you let us know how you wire up the "Heath Robinson"

Regards Simon

Simon,I did'nt know you could use the later (ML,round) sensor with the BM7000? I've got one somewhere,I'll try it.

I may have a part No for the original kit,and more info.

I've also sent you a pm.

Hi Nick

do you have any more info regarding running a cable to the Bm7000 as I could then use one of the newer round IR sensors which I know work with the BM7000 as this would then enable me to have the control I want.

I do have a BL7000 but do not really use it mainly a Beo4, I may yet sell the BL7000 to fund a Beo5.

Tell me more about the "Heath Robinson" option.

Just to add I have 2 BM7000's one which is used for the kitchen & patio in conjunction with the link kit for the patio & the other one will be used for the bedroom but will put in the same cabinet as all of the other equipment, so as you can see I need to control them independently.

There was a mod kit from B&O to do this,but it involved dismantling the equipment and running a cable out the back of the Beomaster to a special receiver.

Are you using a two way remote device,such as BL7000,or the simpler BL1000/Beo4?

The simplest method,is of course to use another Link kit,it's no problem that you have one on the system already.

There is another option,that works perfectly well,but is a bit "Heath Robinson".

Regards,

Nick

Looking for any info about controlling a BM7000 in a cabinet but not using a extra speaker kit as I am already using one of these for the kitchen, I just want to put the BM7000 in a cabinet
