Good day everybody!

I gradually bought a Beosystem 7000. First the receiver. Then a record player. Now a cassette deck. The cassette deck didn't work at first (the motor didn't move, or it tried to move but stopped - probably a problem with the belt). A special workshop in Hamburg has now repaired the device. I connected it earlier. It works well. The problem is that it doesn't respond to commands from the Beolink1000. I can only operate the device using the buttons on the “drawer”. Of course it could be that something is broken, but I actually think that there is some combination of buttons on the remote control and it suddenly works...

Does somebody have any idea?

1: The remote is faulty (did you check the batteries?)
Try another remote!

2: The Beomaster is set to Option 0 - in which case it shall not respond to the commands of the remote.

3: The ir sensor/the ir circuit of the Beomaster is faulty.
Must be looked after by a service person (if you can not yourself).

I just noticed that the cassette deck doesn't even turn on when you switch the Beomaster to Tape.A. It only works if you turn it on by hand, switch the Beomaster to Tape.A and then operate the device using the buttons on the drawer. Is there a separate component on the cassette deck that “translates” the switching impulses from the receiver? Is this a vulnerable part?

0. Thank you for your answer!
1. I tried two different Beolink1000. Same Reslt
2. Beomaster works fine with the Beoagram, so I guess that isn't the problem. Right?
3. Beolink works fine with the Beomaster itsel and with the Beorgam... so I guess that isn't the prolem. Right?

Also check that the DIN plug connecting the Beocord to the Beomaster has 7 pins. If pin 6 or 7 are missing then there will be no communication between devices and no remote control of the Beocord.

Next step eliminate potential failure of the Beosystem 7000's DIN jack and data link driver for the Tape 1 socket by plugging the deck into Tape 2.  (On the Beolink 1000, SHIFT  then A.TAPE plays tape deck #2.)  If that fails the same old way, you can either send it straight back to Hamburg or you can check the cable yourself by opening up the tape unit to check at the other end.  If a break isn't visible (or measurable with a meter preferably), then send it back to Hamburg for another (hopefully not expensive) fix.

If trackbeo's TAPE2 suggestion above does not work, I would open up the DIN plug and check that the soldered connection to pin 7 is still intact. Pin diagram below - viewing from solder side of plug:
