Beomaster 6500 problem with test mode

12 replies

The problem started when beolink 1000 stopped working, so I thought I would turn on Testmode and here was the problem. After pressing the Radio button and shorting the 4TP1 point, 88 still pops up and I can't check anything. I can't choose anything and I would like to test everything, whether it's 3 Status of tuner model or 6 Led Test or 7 Erasure of Ram. What is my problem that I can't change anything? I will add that when I have a permanent point 4TP1, Beomaster can be seen that it responds to IR but does not perform the test

Is there anyone who can help me. Maybe he is doing something wrong while taking a Test. Maybe some suggestions why the remote control doesn't work. What else can I check to get the Beomaster running? I note that the pilot is operational. So does the processor.

Have you tried another remote ? There is nothing you can do in Testmode without a working remote.

You should only short the testpoint briefly. Not constantly.

yes, I shortly connect to ground. Unfortunately, I don't have a second remote. The strange thing that occurs is the fact that after trying to enter the BEO Test mode, it recognizes the commands from my remote control, e.g. I press button 5, it will be displayed on the LED Display or when I press another function, I see on the LED indicator that the processor recognizes the commands. The problem is when I turn off the power and turn it on again and it no longer responds to the remote control. I attach how photos how of how it behaves

Have you tried to press SOUND-1-STORE on the remote when it is not in test mode. Sounds like the Beomaster is in Option 0, entering test mode will always allow remote commands, but if it is in Option 0, then no remote commands will be received when not in test mode.

In standby, try the sequence Sound - 1 - Store with you Beolink 1000 (as you say it is working).

One of my Beomaster 6500 regularly starts ignoring the remote controls. This occurs randomly every now and then, as if it suddenly forgets it is in Option 1 and goes to Option 0 by itself. Very strange and annoying, but Sound - 1 - Store solves it for now.

Maybe you have the same issue and this simple solution works for you as well?

@ Weebyx: you beat me to it  🙂

Unfortunately, the Sound - 1 - Store doesn't help :(

Make sure the remote is in Audio mode, so press RADIO first, then SOUND-1-STORE, not at the same time, but after each other.
