Hi there,

   I have a very odd problem with my beosound 9000.

   I'm using it with a Beo 4 remote as most of you I think and one day the IR port stoped working I think.

   The only thing I did , was moving the speakers arround and then reconect them . When I tried to access the beosund with hte remote - nothing happened.

   I thought at first that batteries were dead, but nothing happens with the new ones also. I borrowed a Beo 4 from a friend and it doesn't work also. My remote is working ok on his system.

   Can anyone tell me what to do ? Did this happen to any of you ?

   Is it possible that the usint to gather dust on the IR port in time and then stop reading my remote ?

 

Many thanks to all of you.

Stefan

Perhaps you plugged it in / turned it on at some time without any speakers connected? I believe at least the early versions of BS9000 drop to Option 0 in that case, which means that it won't respond to the remote.

You'll need to reprogram it to Option 1, which is a bit annoying with a Beo 4 - I certainly can't remember how to do it since I don't have one at hand. Perhaps someone else can fill that in (or try searching the forum). Hope it is as simple as that!

Thank You very much for your quick reply.

Indeed I tested it with only one speaker connected and the other powerlink free.. after that the remote didn't work.

if anyone knows how to put it back to Option 1 with a Beo 4 or using the control pannel from the beosound 9000 (I think it's an MK1)I would be sending him a beer :)

 

Regards

Stefan

I found another thread and used the info there to turn it to option 1.

Thanks a lot anyway for indicating the issue.
