Can you confirm that MCP also works with the 'light' timer?

Sorry, I had assumed that it would, but having looked through the relevant manuals I can see no reference to the ability of an MCP to carry out light programming.  There's is a chance that you could view and cancel previous programming, but to be honest I am not sure, so it would be better if someone with a BM6500 and MCP could check what it possible.

If you are anywhere near Milton Keynes you are welcome to borrow my BL5000 - sadly I think they are too fragile to put in the post!

Thank you for your kindness. I am in the Copenhagen area, so borrowing your BL 5000 will not possible. Yes, it would be very nice if a MCP owner could check its ability to cancel previous programming.

I also appreciated the guidance to Service Mode and clearance of the memory mentioned above. I just think the CPU is a fragile part of the BM to work with if not having proper equipment such as protection from static electricity. There may be a good reason for placing the CPU board in a metal casing.

I will get back tomorrow when having tested the 'timer off' quick fix.

Just found my user manual, and it is correct, the Timer Off will only mute speakers, I dont think it will solve your problem.

Service mode or a remote is the only way.

The 'timer off' could not be used as a quick fix as it did not disable the IR transmission.
