Hi,

I can't help you with the config.tool, however I know that BeoSound 8 only replies to "DOCK" or "NRADIO" commands with Beo4. Therefore it cannot act as an audio master (replying to RADIO commands for instance). That may explain the issue you have.🙂

Thanks,

I got it working by letting the Config Tool create a new Zone, which I then hid. I was able to copy the "DOCK" to Zone 1 (Home) buttons, and it works. The other Zone is completely invisible, but BeoSound 8 still works with all the other buttons on the same screen.

Don't exactly know how I did it -- trial and error -- but now I have everything under Beo5 control, and can hide the "buck remote" that came with BeoSound 8.

I hope at some point B&O releases a more user-friendly and modern version of the Config Tool, and also decide to distribute it to clients who like to tweak their remotes.

If the file for the BeoSound 8 is slightly modified you don't have to do the trick you described. You need to change the file 27.BeoSound8.xml in the folder ...\Bang & Olufsen\Beo5 Configuration Tool\Products\10.Audio\20.BeoSound:

stProductType="audio" to stProductType="accessories"

Then the BeoSound8 will place itself in accessories and the tool will not require a new zone. Please note that you can't add the modified to a zone without a B&O product.

Thanks guffas!

This will make my life easier when I upgrade and re-program things!
