Dear all,

I have bought a beocenter 2300 some time ago, and its works well with my beo4 remote. As I understand it can work in two-way, so I try to get myself a beolink 5000 remote.🙂

Okay, I finally got myself a beolink 5000, but I am having another problem again.[:'(] It always says on the screen "no contact" when I am trying to set up clock or timer or other function. It do once occasssionally work through to the stage that allowing me to set "day" then its "no contact" again.😂

Could anyone suggest whether is my remote not working or is the player itself not working...........Erm?????

If the remote is not working, how much will it cost if I get it to fix???

Many Many thanks to you all!!!!

Make sure the remote itself is in 2 way mode.

When you press CD, do you get "CD 1" on the screen, or just "CD".

Hi,

I have placed three brand new batteries into it. And I have also get access to the "terminal setup" to make sure it works in two-way no matter is in video or audio. When I press 'CD' button to start playing, it only show "CD" on screen, but not "CD1".

Does any of these help??😮

Many thanks

Your remote is still set in 1 way, at least for the Audio side, otherwise it would display CD 1.

If the remote was set in 2 way and the Beosound was not responding it would display NO CONTACT.

Are you sure you have a 2 way version of the BC 2300 ??

Was there a 1 way version?

Also the remote would display NO CONTACT when pressing CD and the hifi would not respond if the remote was set in 2 way and the hifi was 1 way.

Make sure the TV and Hifi have the right option settings as well. Audio 1 and Video 1 or Audio 0 and Video 2.

If you have Audio 1 and Video 2, you might get a conflict.

Only the first BC 2300 were 2 way. If you try to control a 1 way product via a 2 way remote it will display no contact.

Set the BL 5000 to 1 way. If this works with BC 2300 you have a newer one.

Stefan, the first affirmation is true, not the second.

A BL 5000 set to 1 Way would work like a Beolink 1000 and would control any hifi (that is Beolink 1000 or Beo4 compatible) whether it is 1 way or 2 way.

Yes, I know. But only a BL 5000 in 1way mode will control the newer BC 2300. That`s what I said.
