Beo4 for BV11

23 replies
Hi all! I have a BV11 which was driven by a beoremote 1 till now, when vol- button became responsive. I am trying to use an old beo4 that I have but I cannot use the joystick in menu mode to scroll up/down. I tried to set it up in MODE 1 but I don't have a MODE or RESET option on it. Maybe it has been setup in a special way, I bought it with a beosund 9000 from a cruise ship, so probably these options were removed from simple menus in order not to be accused accidentally. Can anyone guide me how to reinstall MODE in order to put it in MODE 1? Thank you!
I have x3 Beo 4 remotes (I have bought various B&O items used, all with remotes), I recently acquired a used BV7 and none of the three remotes would allow me to scroll up/down in the TV set up options (they ALL allow up/down scroll with my other BV7 TV).  I researched how to resolve this and the 'mode' option came up in many searches but none of my remotes allow this option. This leads me to believe the issue is with the TV set up, not the remote! Sorry if this doesn't help but it may not be directly the fault of the remote being disabled.

Thanks! I setup BV11 to be used with beo4, but the problem is that I cannot find MODE on my beoremote4. did you put the remotes in mode1 and tv set to be used w b4?

Having re-read your first post I think thatyou have an early Beo4 without a navi button (joystick). As far as I am aware. the BV11 is designed to be used with the Beo4 with navi button only.  (Unless there was a sw version that allowed you to go into the settings an chose 'no navigation button', as there is in older TVs) A possible workaround:  If your BV11 is connected to your home network you could try using the B&O app to control the tv.

Is this considered to be the Beo 4 'with' a navi button/joystick?

So, the only remote to control bv11 is the joystick one? In this case, did someone replace the beoremote one screen or do you advice to buy a new now? I have seen here an offer for 177GBP just for the screen.
