How to eject a DVD with BEO5

19 replies

Just found out that I was able to eject the DVD-tray with the DVD command if the tray is empty. But there is a EJECT command that will eject the tray, empty or not. If you want to impress your friends...

(It works with a BV7-40 MKIII)

Throw your Beo-5 to the DVD and hopes that you hit the correct button....is this what you mean..... ??(LOL) 😕

No, as far as I know it is not possible, why should you open you dvd by remote, someone has to pick the DVD out anyway. So that is the reason why it is not possible by remote!

You are absolutely wrong, it does work, at least with a BV7-40 MK3 and a BEO5. And why shouldn't you be able to open the tray with the remote? The person to change the DVD could be your wife 😎

 Hello,

Yes, this function exists, as non-logical as it may be.

It is of no effect on my BC2. 

Remote opening of the viking helmet, that's WOW effect.

More seriously, I'd appreciate do press the "eject" key, go to take another CD or DVD in another room and find the BC2 ready to take it when I'm back.

It does work from a Link room, so the DVD is ready when you enter the Main room, and  want to change the DVD/CD.

If the DVD is empty, you can open the tray with a BEO4, just by pressing the DVD button!

It works perfectly well with my 6 years old avant 32 dvd, we never could do it before with the beo4 and for the last month and a half, we can do it with the beo5; I found it's quite useful indeed, now I can press "eject" from the viewer position and when someone arrives to the tv set 4 meters away with the disc ready in the hand, the tray is already open and nobody is forced to wait for this operation... swapping disks is really quicker and very handy now.

You should be able to eject a DVD with the Beo4.  Select DVD then press and hold STOP.  It works on mine.

Pity the Beo5 isn't working propoerly yet!

You are correct, you have always been able to eject a DVD even on the AVANT by pressing DVD and holding down the STOP button on the Beo4. To close the DVD tray you press DVD again.

But before someone asks, you cannot open the Beosound 9000 by pressing the STOP button, it will just pause.
