Beolink 1000 remote control not working

17 replies

we have a B&O Beosound Ouverture system with a Beolink 1000 remote control. We cannot get the remote to pair with the Ouverture - the system works fine when pressing the buttons directly on the Ouverture, but nothing doing with the remote. I have tried the phone camera trick to see if the remote is working, and I can see a signal.  Can you please help me resolve this issue?  I wasn't sure where the infra red control is on the Ouverture system - do you think it needs cleaning?   I would be so grateful thank you.

A Very Warm Welcome to Beoworld..

The Beolink 1000 is an infra-red remote control so it does not "pair" with the system.

Have you changed the batteries in the Beolink 1000 remote?

If you are using an audio system only: in standby mode press sound 1 store. Red light should flash to show the command to accept all remote control was successful.

THANK YOU A MILLION TIMES!  That worked, and now the remote is paired.  So kind of you to take the time and trouble.  Much appreciated 🙂

Thank you so much for your suggestion - we did put new batteries in, but now have a fix with the sound 1 store suggested by Ralf.  Thank you again!

You are welcome.

But still, not paired, just the audio system was set to an option (1) that reacts to any Beolink 1000/Beo4/5/6 remote.

What B&O device/system are you trying to control?  Is your BL1000 transmitting? (have you done a camera check?)

Thank you replying to me. I have a Beocentre 3500 which the Bellini 1000 came with. I have recently acquired a Beograd Ouverture and would like the Beolink 1000 to operate both systems. The 3500 will be in the conservatory and the Ouverture will be in the bedroom, I do not want to run a cable between the two systems. I would rather make the remote portable. I have tried sound 1 store with the Ouverture in standbys mode but this hasn't worked. The remote operated the 3500 with no problems.

The BL1000 should be fine to operate the Ouverture, and the SOUND 1 STORE sequence should ensure that the IR operation is switched on.  Did the red power light blink when you pressed SOUND 1 STORE?

The Ouverture's IR sensor is behind the black panel to the left of the tape player - perhaps it is faulty?  Or very dirty?  Are you technically minded enough to attempt a repair yourself?  IR receiver boards are available on the second hand market, such as in the link below:
