I think the question I would ask is it really a Mark 1 Beolab 3500 or is it a LCS9000 which looks exactly the same, but the early versions had modified software?

Check the B&O label in the back..

Hello,

I'm very new to owning B&O and just bought few products after been very impressed by the B&O sound in my BMW F16. My Beosound 6000 works flawlessly, but I have problem with 3500.

Just wondering if there was any luck with the above? do you finally made it work?

I have exactly same problem- have BEO4  and Beolab3500 MK1, with cable fromSteve, but I cannot turn it on

I press LIST and select SPEAKER on the remote and then trying to do the MENU 04GO

shall I connect/pair the remote to the speaker somehow?

Anything I press on rem one immediately throw me to the "TV" on the display.

 

Any help would be welcome.

Hi,

 

try any of the audio sources on the BEO4 and then in front of the Beolab 3500 press <0> <4> <GO> in sequence.

 

The <SPEAKER> function is used to select the number of speakers for example of using 5 speakers and a Subwoofer in a 5.1 Dolby setup or just the left, center and right speakers for TV. It has nothing to do with the Beolab 3500.

Unfortunately it does not react on any buttons.

How to check if it actually sees remote?

It could be that it is in option 0 (not reacting to IR commands) or option 4 (only reacting to link commands). Try to set it to option 2 as described in Guys post earlier in this thread link

I would reccomend that you take a look at this post  The 1611 converter can be used to make 2 inputs controlled by either audio or video commands. In my opinion its a much better solution than the Menu, 0, 4, GO because its easier to activate and you can use the volume control from the BEO4 remote which is not possible in the other way

It seems to be a common IR board issue. The Beolab do not see" the IR beam. I think I've read somewhere that the solution it's the usual two caps replacement, easy, but the problem is accessing the board that implies a deep dismantling IIRC.
