I also have a beo4 remote which I prefer to use. Bizarrely, the IR eye will not respond to either remote however, if I hold done the red "off" button on the remote for about 5 seconds the red light on the IR eye blinks..

One thing that could have happen in the link room is that the option settings was changed and affects how it receives IR commands. You can try to set the option for the link room again with the BEO4 by following this procedure:
  • Be sure that the entire system is in standby
  • Hold down standby + list on the BEO4
  • The text in the display should change.
  • Press the list button until OPTION is shown in the display and press GO
  • Press list until LINK is shown in the display, then press 6 and GO
  • The red LED on the IR eye should blink once to confirm it has received the change
Try to see if this makes a difference

Hard to say what it could be then

Do you have any other link rooms and are they working?

No. I have tried rewiring everything many times. The passive is in the same room as my 9000 but it didn't affect it previously. I can only think it is an issue with the master link cable not sending a message from the passive back to the 9000?

One more follow up question. When it worked did both the 9000 and the Beolink Active start when you activated a source like CD?

No, I could use them independently of each other. I ultimately disconnected the beloabs. It is a mystery eh!

Can you explain how you used them independently. If you were to play a CD for example. I asume you would have to use an other command for one of the zones?
