Hi everyone,

I am new to the forum and in fact a fairly new owner of a second hand Beosound 9000. (Which I love by the way.) It came without a remote control and has been working just fine. So I bought a  Beo4 but have not been able to get it to work with it. The beosound 9000 simply will not respond to anything I do with the remote. I tried putting in brand new batteries and even brought the remote to a B&O store to try it with their system (Beosound 9000). It worked fine.

So it seems that it is not the remote but something wrong with the Beosound 9000. The sales person was unable to provide any suggestions. Before I bring the Beosound 9000 to the service department (that's if I really can't live without remote features) I was hoping whether any of you had any suggestions. Perhaps there is a simple solution I am overlooking. Oh yeah, the salesperson did mention something about programing the system.

Anyhow, sorry for the long post and thanks in advance.

Do you have speakers connected The BS9000 will automatically switch to Option 0, no reception if you dont have any powerlink speakers connected.

If you dont for whatever reason, try pluggin in a pair of headphones - if that works just get a dummy 3.5 mm plug that fits into the socket. I did that on mine to make it talk to my BC2 through the AUX connections.

 

Cheers

The BS9000 is connected to a pair of Pentas via powerlink 7-pin DIN cables. I actually had it connected through a minijack before I got the proper cables and it still wouldn't work. Thanks.

Maybe the Beo4 is in link mode.

Try:

Press STANDBY and LIST button at the same time

Press up/down until the display shows "CONFIG"

Press 2, 0, 0, 2 and then the display will show "LINK ON"

Then press EXIT

Thanks Christian. Tried that too. Got it switched to link on but yet again to no avail. Oh well, thanks for trying. Maybe it is something more serious with the BS9000. Although I've never heard of the IR sensor to go on a piece of electronic equipment.

Forgot to say, that you can and should press the same sequence, so that the Beo 4 is out of link mode.

Daniel - Nope. I only have one Beo4 so that's the only one I've tried. But as I've noted above, I tried it with a BS9000 at the retailer's and it worked fine.

 

Christian - Thanks for the additional info. I did it again and this time made sure Link was Off. Unfortunately, it still failed to make a difference.
