Beosound 8 and IR Remote (Beo 4/5/6).

[matador]

Hi alls,
I’ve found a Beosound 8 for a fair price but in average condition.
Anyway, it starts and despite some reviews I read, I’m very pleased with the sound.
The iPod dock is missing, it seems to have been brutally ripped off. I could have had use of it but it’s not a big issue.
Now, I’ve tried to remote control it and it doesnt react to A.AUX, A.MEM and any other audio command.
But it still turn off after a long press on the red dot key leading me to think the IR electronics do work.
Any advice about this?
Thank you in advance.

There is some inconclusive discussion here:  https://forum.beoworld.org/forums/topic/beosound-8-beoplay-a8-remote-quick-questions/

I would be tempted to see if it is indeed in A.OPT 4 (which does respond to a long press to turn off).  Perhaps try the usual method for setting A.OPT 1?

EDIT:  If it won’t go into A.OPT 1, try using the LINK command from Beo4, or put the Beo4 in permanent LINK mode.

Hi Guy,

Hope you’re well.

I’ll try this tomorrow after a good cleaning of the unit.

Do you think the BS 8 has Option settings? Really? (Edit: Ok yes it has, stated in the topic you mentionned. Sorry).
