BeoSound 9000 and Beo4 compatibility

24 replies

If the BS9000 did not even react to option setting commands and the receiver is clean, the ir receiver might be faulty. But first I would check the Beo4 with another Beosystem. Maybe there is a Beoworlder in Greece who will test it for you? You could send it to me, but it`s a bit far I`m afraid... Another option can be to buy a (very cheap) BL1000 and test your BS9000. If the IR receiver is faulty and it can not be repaired there might be a workaround with a Beolink active.

You can connect a BL active with ir receiver via Masterlink to your BS and connect the BL8000s to the BL active. Now you can control the BS9000 with a Beoremote through the BL active.

Dear Stefan,

as I can understand if BL1000 functions with my BS9000, then then IR receiver is working, correct? So, I have to find a BL1000, for the beginning.

Regarding BL active: Do all BL active have IR receivers? In this case, if my Beo4 functions (I have tested my Beo4 IR "eye" with my smartphone camera and it blinks- I presume it functions), I am going to use BS9000 with BL active IR receiver?

Practically, I connect a functioning IR receiver to BS9000, don't I?

Regards,

Thanos

- correct.

- bl active is a black box with ml- poerlink- and IR sockets. IR receiver is an extra device.

and it blinks- I presume it functions), I am going to use BS9000 with BL active IR receiver?

- yes.

Practically, I connect a functioning IR receiver to BS9000, don't I?

- yes.

Dear Stefan,

I do appreciate your help.

I hope I solve it.

I'm pretty sure, there is a solution. Keep us informed - good luck!

Vous pouvez également tester le faisceau infrarouge de votre  Beo4 avec l'appareil photo d'un smartphone pour voir si la Beo4 fonctionne.

Vous mettez l'appareil photo devant la Beo4 comme pour la photographier et vous appuyez sur les boutons de la Beo4 et si elle fonctionne vous verrez les diodes émettrices de la Beo4 qui vont s'allumer.

De ce fait vous pourrez être sûr que votre télécommande fonctionne ou pas.

Bonjour Kappler,

Bonne idée, mais Thanos explique dans son premier message que c'est ce qu'il a fait, et que ça fonctionne.
