    Re: Beolink 1000 versions

    MK6!! Never hear of that one. Does B&O still make the Beolink 1000?

    Yes, they do. I believe you can still get the BeoLink 5000 as well...

    Are you sure Alex?
    I believe you can get the 5000 but not so sure about the 1000.

    I'm pretty sure, yes. I may be wrong though, but I only say that because you've put doubt in my mind! Laughing

    They never advertise it though? Such a popular remote as well. Never in any brochures.

    Re: Beolink 1000 versions

    Generally though, you would want to go for the Beo4 over the 1000. The 1000 is still a fantastic remote, and IMO, better than anything from any other manufacturer, while the Beo4 is more suited to more recent B&O kit, particularly with the LIST menu.

    Extremely robust, the Beolink 1000.
    You can drop it off an eight storey building and absolutely guarrantee that it will still function perfectly!Yes -  thumbs up

    Absolutely right Alex - the Beo4 is certainly more suited to later B&O products whereas the BL1000 suits pre mid 90's equipment better, I still prefer the BL1000 over any remote for every day use, probably because I'm so familiar with it. Fantastic piece of design and probably my all time favourite "must have" item and handy if you are doing some DIY and can't find a hammerLaughing

    Re: Beolink 1000 versions

    Thank you for all the replies, guys. This is the first post I've started which has gone over one page!

    I still don't know quite which remote I've got, but I take the point that its 3+, that all 3+ have the same functionality, and I don't need to know more than that.

    I'm becoming more curious, however. I had assumed that all button presses were transmitted, and that the receiver took note of use of the SHIFT key, to work out what is going on. However, since SHIFT functions seem to be different on each of mk1, mk2 and mk3, it must be the remote which converts the SHIFT+<another key> into a code to transmit.

    Am I making sense, or misunderstanding?

    I think you're right. I don't remember what the situation was, but came to the same conclusion once when I had to use an older bl1000

    Re: Beolink 1000 versions

    No, this isn't the case, shift + A.Tape actually produces a different resultant signal to a simple A.Tape command.

    Press shift, with your hand completely covering the IR transmitter at the end of the BeoLink, and press shift, then uncover your hand and press A.Tape. A.Tape 2 is still activated, even though the BeoMaster/Center didn't receive the SHIFT command.

    The BeoLink 1000 is actually pretty smart under the hood, smarter than you would expect it to be just from appearances.

    Re: Beolink 1000 versions

    We cut test this! If somebody has a LC2 and a BL1000 mrk3+, then press shift + link and see if it controls the light?

    I think the shift command maybe only, is setting a bit in the bit stream it's sends!

    F.ex

    A.tape                00101010

    shift + A.tape      10101010

    and

    A.tape                00101010

    link + A.tape       01101010

    would be nice to know Smile

    Re: Beolink 1000 versions

    Shift changes the key code (last 2 digits), link sets a bit... 

    11:00191  A.TAPE

    11:00194  A.TAPE2 (SHIFT + A.TAPE)

    11:10191  LINK + A.TAPE

    11:10194  L-A.TP2 (Beo4)

    11:00091  AV + A.TAPE (Beo4)

    Re: Beolink 1000 versions

    I've just acquired a Beosystem 7000 that came with a beolink 1000.

    Most of the controls are quite simple to do except for controlling the radio functions.

    I can't seem to search for new station and I can't display RDS or clock, all I can do is use the stations that were previously programmed.

    Does someone know what the commands are to do this, or do I need a Beolink 7000?

    Re: Beolink 1000 versions

    Hi Rabble.
    The Beomaster does not display RDS or the clock, sorry.
    RDS and the clock are displayed on Beolink 7000.
    As for radio tuning, it's easy with Beolink 1000

    Radio   goto    up or down button.

    Once you get the channel you want

    Store   7    store (Choose your own number)

    Come back if you have any problems.

    Re: Beolink 1000 versions

    Hi Andy, 

    thanks for the info. it seems to work, however I can't seem to display the frequency of the channel.

    Is this something also only avail. on the Beolink 7000.

    I thought that the main difference between the 6500 and the 7000 was that the RDS would display on the receiver.

    If that's not possible then what's the difference?

    Cheers

    Andrew

    Re: Beolink 1000 versions

    No, you can't see the frequency on the Beomaster, only on the Beolink7000.
    However, if you know the frequency you're after, you can enter it in four figures on FM only.

    Radio    Goto    1015    store    7    store   =  101.5 FM stored on channel 7
    As soon as you press Goto, it should say "F" on your Beomaster.

    If you want change to AM, then

    Radio    Goto    Shift    Sound    then immediately up or down button before it slips back to FM
    It should say "A" on the Beomaster..
    I am not 100% sure but I think the only two differences between 6500 and 7000 is that
    6500 only available in White or Aluminium 7000 also available in Black and mirror finnish
    7000 has RDS decoder whereas 6500 hasn't.
    RDS decoder is not much use unless you have a Beolink 7000. However, if I remember correctly, Channel name and frequency can be seen on a linked in TV like LX4500.    Radio    AV    Radio    Menu   springs to mind but don't quote me on that!

    Re: Beolink 1000 versions

    The RDS module can also be fitted to either later BeoMaster 6500s, or all 6500s...

    Re: Beolink 1000 versions

    Hi Andy, 

    thanks for all your help, at least now I can listen to radio and not just static.

    I guess I'll be searching for a Beolink soon, as the only reason I chose the 7000 over the 6500 was for the RDS.

    Regards

     Andrew

    Re: Beolink 1000 versions

    Does anyone know if you can switch loudness in/out with a mk3 control? I can achieve this with my mk2 using a shift command but not on my mk3...

     

    *I should add this is with my master 5500...

    Olly.
