Any idea anyone? 😮

I don't think this is a configuration problem. Basic controls, like wind and rewind, shouldn't be dependent on menus. However, skipping tracks on a B&O video recorder should be with the [Δ] and [∇] keys, not the [>>] and [<<] keys as you indicated. Weird indeed.

Stupid question (perhaps): it couldn't be that you are trying to control your V8000 with an early Beolink 1000, and are pressing the [>] and [<] keys, instead of the [>>] and [<<] ones?

Another thought is that pressing the proper [>>] and [<<] keys while playing would probably result in "cue forward" or "cue backward" (with picture) rather than winding or rewinding. You'd have to press [STOP] first before issuing fast wind and rewind commands. At least this is how it works with the VX7000, which is what I have.

You can switch between Beo4 and Beolink 1000 in the compatibility section of the service menu.

Thanks Peter but how do I go to the service menu? Should I contact a B&O dealer?

If you upgrade your membership to Beoworld you can gain access to the service manuals.

enter the v8000 menu

select "SETUP" and press [PLAY]

you are now in the "SETUP" menu

now press [0] [0] [PLAY]

you are now in the "SERVICE" menu

select "COMPATIBILITY SETUP" and press [PLAY]

you are now in the "COMPATIBILITY SETUP" menu

change the "REMOTE CONTROL" setting from "BEO4" into "BL1000"

You can also change the menu colour into "GREY" or "BLACK" depending on which colour your Beovision menu colour is.

press [PLAY] to confirm the settings or [STOP] if don't want to change the settings.

Put the v8000 in stand-by and disconnect the V8000 from the mains and reconnect the v8000 again.

I have not scanned that one (very large!!) Was looking for the manual when our colleague kindly gave the answer! Can't get my V8000 to work well as it is attached to the 3rd input on my BV5 and has to be called V.Aux. The menu system doesn't work! 😁 Only used it once in the last year!

Thank you, I've changed the configuration successfuly and can now operate the V8000 with beolink 1000 🙂

Again many thanks
