BeoX remote question

I've replied!  Once we have the solution we'll post it here so that others can benefit.

In the meantime (as put in my PM) I think your MX7000 is the older Type 33xx which is designed for the Beolink 1000 remote.  It should be possible to do what I explained with the Mk1 AV button Beo4, but we are also slightly hampered by the lack of a user guide for the early MX7000 - the ones available on Beoworld are for the later Type 78xx and 87xx versions designed for Beo4 operation.

A similar problem with the decoder setting was discussed here: /forum/general-discussion-and-questions/urgent-help-needed-with-mx7000#post-1872707

On the Beolink 1000, the key sequence SHIFT PICTURE or SHIFT SOUND is the same as pressing TURN on the Beo4 remote.  TURN can be added to the LIST function but is only then available after pressing V.TAPE or V.MEM.  (Cover the end of the remote if you don't want V.TAPE or V.MEM to be transmitted to the TV)

It's solved now! ??  Thanks to all who helped and especially Guy.

You can see my TVs info in the attached photo below. So the remote that came with the TV is the MK1 version (the middle button on the second row is AV).
The manual for Beo4 can be found here: https://www.iconic-av.co.uk/manuals/beo4_mark1_av.pdf

I used the ADD function on page 10 to add TURN.
STORE was not available there so I added V. SETUP (which holds STORE within that menu).

TURN is only shown in list under V. TAPE and since the Decoder on/off is under TV I had to cover the end of the remote when I pressed V. TAPE to use TURN (via the LIST-button). After this I went into V. SETUP to use STORE.

Hope this clears it up for anyone else wanting to use VTAPE 2 with a single press on the TV button an MK1 Beo4 remote.

This is my MX7000:

Great news - I am still a bit confused about the TV's SW version (your screenshots didn't seem right for a Beo4 model) but good news that you got it working!!
