Beosound 1 (old) IR Problem - only works very short range

5 replies

Hey Guys!

 

I have a problem with my Beosound 1s IR receiver (I think).

If I operate the Beo4 very close and in a certain angle to the BS1 (aprox. 10-15cm away) it works fine. If the Beo4 is any further away, it does not work.

I have tried a different Beo4, new batteries etc. so I am pretty sure the BS1 is the problem.

The BS1 otherwise works perfectly fine. I changed SMPS power supply a few weeks ago.

I do not see any IR lights on the BS1 through my phone camera.

Does anybody have an idea how to fix this? Preferably without changing the Display/IR PCB for a new one?

 

Thank you in advance !

I have no real advise other than that you will not see any IR lights on your camera since the BS1 does not transmit anything. The BS1 only receives.
