Hi,

you can do it on your own with the configuration tool. You can find a link  in this thread

/forum/beo5-and-beo6/new-configuration-tool-version-684-for-beo5beo6-released-to-day

on the last page and post.

Hey, that's great!

I took a look at the instructions for the tool and do you (or anyone) know;

1. Is there any concern that my first edition Beosound 5/Beomaster5 wouldn't work with a second hand Beo6 remote?

2. Would there be any problem with the version of the firmware loaded on the remote and my inability (because I do not have a dealer logon) to update it?

3. If the remote comes with a configuration already loaded on it, does creating and loading a new one on it and deleting the old one erase the firmware? (which I cannot retrieve without being a dealer)

Thanks again!

Beo 5/6 will work on all B&O devices which work together with minimum Beolink 1000 or Beo4.

The firmware of the Beo 5/6 will be updated with Beo 5/6 config tool, so no need for a dealer.

When creating a completely new configuration the old configuration will be overwritten.

A new or altered configuration does nothing to the firmware of Beo 5/6.

Hope this helps,

Martin

Yep that helps a lot.

I guess I'll start searching for one then.

Thanks

Stay tuned, I might have some questions getting through it once I find one.

One more thing,

With this remote will I have the capability to fast forward and rewind in a song?

No problem. I'll try to help as good as I can.

Ok,

So I bid and won a Beo 6 and when it got here I'm pretty sure it is a Beo 5. I,m not sure what additional functionality a Beo 6 has, but I'm just using it to control a Beomaster5/Beosound 5.

Does the wifi on a 6 do much?

I'm pretty sure it is a 5 because the software version is 1.01a.

I have to get to a 32 bit machine to use the config tool, but going through the directions, am I correct in saying that;

1. I need to enter serial number, comment, and language.

2. I need to create 1 zone and add the Beosound audio master to the zone

3. And then finalize?

Are the buttons then assigned to the remote for all the functions of the Beosound? Where/how do I get control for  fast forward and rewind? Do I have to do something additional? There wasn't anything I could find in the CT directions.

Thanks.

Hi

in this thread you can see the difference /forum/imported-unmapped/unknown-cartridgesp12. The picture is nearly in the middle.

There are only two diffenences between Beo5 and Beo6. The Beo6 has a larger display which reacts instantly when touched and the wifi fuction.

The program is not extremy complicatet. You need to go though the index taps in the upper area. It works with drag an drop.

I think the program gets the serial automatically!?

At the end you need to download it to you Beo5 or 6.

The Hardkeys are programmed automatically, I think. So fast forward and rewind will work. To check it. Go to the "edit" tap and get your cursor on the picture of the beo5 and move over the "button" for fast forward or rewind. There should pop up a box named "wind" and "rewind".

I hope you understand my english. I'am not a native speaker ;-)
