Hi,

as the guys over at remotecentral.com already made a CCF (with raw Pronto Hex codes) file with all 51 codes for the Logitech Harmony Playstation 3 adapter; I'm asking myself if anybody here can make a XML file for the Beo 5 remote out of it?

That would be simply great as I have actualy no knowhow on this procedure.

Here you get the file:

The Logitech Harmony adapter has the big plus that it does NOT need any visible contact to the PS3 as it translates from Ir to Bluetooth for the Playstation 3.
A very good solution but I don't want to buy a Harmony remote, too :-)


Thank you

I have converted the Logitech Harmony PS3 Adapter Pronto codes for you into a Beo5 XML file including digit and hard key assignments.

You can download it link and then extract it to C:\ which will add it to the correct directory in the Beo5 Configuration Tool.

Within the Beo5 Tool just drag-n-drop to your configuration as below

Wow, that was fast!

Thank you, Keith!!

I only have config tool V2.20, does that matter or can I use the file with my "old" tool and firmware?

If your Beo5 has the earlier firmware, then the previous file will not work because of the Carrier Frequency which was changed from 2 to 5 digits.

I have created a new file for your version of firmware which you can download

Hi Keith,

could this be possible: I have Firmware 1.40a but Config Tool V2.20!?

I had my remote repaired a few weeks ago but I was able to transfer my old configuration without problems (contained no 3rd party equipment).

Yes, it is quite possible..

The firmware incompatibility only effects 3rd party products, if you configuration is all B&O it will work without modification.

If you have firmware version 1.40a (latest version) then you should use the first XML file I provided.

Thanks, Quim :-)

But: As far as I know the Config Tool V3.x contains another new firmware 1.41a.

Will  the 3rd party XML files work with that firmware, too?

Or am I confused at some point of my thinking?! :)
