hello,

i need your help:
got a powerbook g4 with frontrow enabler. i will connect my beoport via my beosound 3200. but frontrow doesn´t work!!!! do i need the ir eye?! or must i do any changes in my 3200 to get the mac and the beoport to work?!

 

The IR Receiver might be just fine. I once bought the special version for the PC2 and noticed that while the lettering was missing it had the full functionality. It is more a matter of the cable and connector. See attachment. Regards Harald

EDIT: doesn´t my beoport use the ir port of my 3200? so frontrow must work?

Try it with your keyboard and press APPLE + ESC. Then Front Row should start.
And enable it in the system registry BM-Link tab.
If this works, you only have to get an IR eye like me.

thanks for your reply.

frontrow works, but not with my beo 4. so i have to buy an ir eye. i thought i could use frontrow over my ir eye in my beosound 3200 :(
how much is the ir eye!?

Does anyone know any kind of IR-repeating hardware to get signal of my Beo4 in others rooms sent to the IR eye in the office?

(It's not possible connect 2 IR-Eye in the same socket of beoport.)

Yesterday I bought a universal Ir-repeating, but it doesn't work with beo4.

Luis,

What is the reason you cannot connect multiple infrareds on the beoport? Is it because an interference will occur? Maybe a simple solution is to put a diode between the signal leads of each infrared? If you would add a lot of infrareds I think it will drain to much power from the beoport. But you can ask a dealer or a technician to work out a small diagram.

I thought use a minijack (headphone) splitter (stereo), but the technician said it's would cause same error o conflict.

Anders recommended a IR-repeating, but i don't know any IR-repeating B&O-compatible.

I use now 2 IR sensors from Lintronic.
d: 1 simple IR sensor for the window screens
e: 1 expensive IR sensor for Beoport. (This IR sensor was connected to the screens till today)

d: TT-IR-1455 is a miniature thumbnail (B&O) 455 KHz infrared receiver. (very limited IR range)
e: TT-IR-8087030 is a plasma-protected (B&O designed) 455 KHz infrared receiver.

i started frontrow using my keyboard, but than when i will use my beo 4 nothing happens. should frontrow "work" without an eye?! so only starting it with the keyboard and the rest works with the beo 4?!

my beo 4 could do just these simple things at the moment:

- start n.music/n.radio
- next/previous titel

thats all!

i can´t use coverflow or something else. when i press "pc" on my beo 4 nothing happens (i do the configurations in the bm-link menu)!!!!!! is that quiet normal?! can i change some things on my beosound?! which setup/option should i use for my beo 4, when the beosound with speakers and the beoport are in the same room?!

must it be a eye from b&o or lintronic?! 100 euro for these few functions are expensive in my eyes.


lovely greetings from germany!

EDIT: hope you understand my bad english ;-)
