Custom buttons on your Beo5

5 replies

I was wondering what buttons you have created your Beo5 and what is the function of the button

 

I have made the following buttons:

      
Load Disk: it opens and closes the DVD on my BV7-40
      
Cinema Light: it adapts the lighting in the living room for movie night, turn down the lights ON and OFF for some other lamp posts.
      
Morning Light: the teeth just for the lights that I just need 5:45am in the morning.

I own a BeoCenter 1 and a lot of the TV channels on my cable are now in 16:9 format.

Unfortunately, the BC1 can't detect the WSS signal and switch to Format 2 automatically.

Thats why I have made a custom button with PictureFormat+digit2+exit.

I have also copied the button and used drag-n-drop to put it on the Stop key. Then each time I press the Channel up button to zap channels, the wide screen function is right beside if the channel turns out to be interesting.

Then I got a button with Dad's seat, (Stand + 6)

I have several buttons.. . .Along the lines with what has been talked about here.

I made a "Cinema" Button that changes the stand position adjust the lights and goes to speaker5. . 

I also made a couple of Chair buttons that are accessible from the main TV menus

Nothing too fancy, but......

POWER: switches on Pioneer plasma and BS3200 to A.AUX for TV sound.

DOORS: Locks/Unlocks BS3200 doors (SHIFT+9+0+3+6+9)

Album names for CD MEM locations: e.g. ABBEY ROAD: 3+2 for Abbey Rd stored in position 32.

I have an 'All On' button that:

Switches on the ceiling lights to a predetermined level (Lutron Rania)

Switches on a couple of table lamps

Switches on my Avant and V+ box.

Also have the opposite in an 'All Off' button
