Hi,
I have two problems with my new BS3. First: As soon as I plug in an IR eye into IR-IN connector (cinema zone) the "main" IR reveiver is blocked. So I have to plug/unplug when I enter/leave cinema mode.
The second problem is: BS3 acativates cinema mode during stand by mode. It happens arbitrarily. Sometimes it stays in cinemamode for hours sometimes only for seconds.
My suspicion is that there is a component of the BS3 faulty, but my B&O technician refuses.
Can someone give me a hint, how to proceed.

Strange.
As far as I know, there is no special IR input for cinema mode. The IR in minijack plug should work for TV and Cinema mode....?
Or is your IR eye connected to the 9pin plug? Check the pins. You will find the assignments in the service manual page 91.
What is connected to the Cinema Control 9pin plug? You need pin 6 and 7 for Control 1 - 2. ( only for open collector). Pin 5 is GND - service manual page 92.
Did you check the cinema timings? Maybe there are some strange adjustments...? P.44
Hope this helps...

Hi Stefan,
Thank you for your answer, sorry I wasn't clear an precise enough in my question:
The IR Sensor of the BV12 is connected to the IR-IN D-Sub 9. I have connected an extra IR-Eye to IR-IN stereo plug as shown in user guide page 10 Home Cinema Configuration with projector and Home Automation System.
Everything is working fine till i connect th extra IR-Eye then I don't receive IR commands on the BV12 anymore. Due to the layout of my TV and Cinema zones I need to have both working, as the screen is on the opposite side of the room as the BV12 (which is then behind me watching the screen).
Regarding Cinema control: A Lintronic Box is connected to the pins 6+7 and Cinema control is working fine as long as BS3 is up and running. But BS3 starts cinema mode arbitrarily when in stand by mode. When I plug off the cable from Cinema Control plug, the error disappears. So I don't think the error is within my custom made cable to the Lintronic box.
The cable is exactly what I thought. Is it connected to digital inputs? And does the -238 box work if you press FORMAT 0?
Yes the cable is connected to dig inputs. my memory map includes triggers for dig input 1 only. Pressing format 0 enters cinema mode, screen comes down and beamer starts up. When I press again format 0, beamer goes to stand by, screen goes up.
