[SOLVED] BEO5 Need help in programming.

3 replies

Dear colleagues,

I just bought Beo5 remote control, and would like to ask your assistance in programming.

When remote comes, the software was in "Default" condition.

It has only "Standard" zone. When I pressed this button, it highlighted and that's it. Nothing happens. Screen bottom buttons (+, back, D) have same reaction. Highlights on screen, but nothing happens.

I connected remote in to Configuration software and uploaded configuration. Same symptoms. "Zone" screen changes layout depends on my configuration, but on pressing menu items only highlighting pressed menu. Nothing happens on screen. In software emulator all working as well.

Should I do something wrong in programming or it can be hardware problem.

Because my main system is Windows 7 x64, I was used Configuration Tool in VMware virtual machine. I tryed Configuration Tool versions 6.00.02 and 4.11, but same symtoms.

Remote SW. 1.45b and HW. 7

 

Thank you in advance,

Aleksei

You have to set your Beo5 in the Custom mode.

You can do this by pressing on the keypad of the Beo5 first the red dot (standby) en then, while pressing down the red dot, the GO (the key in the middle of the keypad) key.

Then you can set your configuration in the Custom Mode.

Any more questions, please ask. Suc6!

Yes, it helps me to get my layaut, on screen 🤒 .

My another problem was that when I touched buttons on touch screen, they only higlighted but was not operate. Stupid mistake, I just need to pres it harder to make reaction 😁 

Thank you for assistance,

Aleksei
