Beo 6 questions

13 replies
Here I am again.

I received the new battery yesterday and charged it overnight. I can then enter commands for about 20 seconds

and then the control remote switches off (Message on display "recharge battery).  I have removed the red soldered cable.

I don't know how I can remote my B&O Ouverture. The first screen shows me  "Zones Standard" .

Perhaps someone has an idea to fix the problem. I have attached 2 photos.

 

 
Hi Michael,

First, your remote is a Beo5 not a Beo6.
Sourcing good batteries for these remote is quite a challenge. Some are good and will work as expected, other may run dry just after few clics.
Some that work well in one remote can last only few minutes in another remote. No solution to the problem as far as i know.

If your remote has not been custom programmed you can switch it to standard mode:
In the setting menu (red dot+center key) choose "config" then you can choose between "custom" or "default".
"Default" will load a standard config with common commands for any Beosound/Beovision/Beocenter device.

Then you can use the remote while patiently learning and crafting your own program.

I'd like to add that if you only own a Beosound you'll go into too much trouble by using this remote.
A Beo4 is a wiser choice really. I love Beo5/6 and it is really central in my setup (Sound/TV/Lights/ATv).
But I ended up with two remotes taking turn on the charger to have a least one working and in the other room where it is used, the remote is always on the cradle and when I need to use a command relying on several clics, I need to rehearse the sequence before to be sure to clic it all before the battery dies.

Good luck.

Thanks for your help. I now soldered the red cable and try again if the Beo5 will charge.

If not, I will sell it with the technical defect on Ebay. Perhaps there is someone who can

fix it.
