BeoVision 6 - 26 Record Lock

7 replies

Hi,

I am new to this forum.

I have a BeoVision 6 - 26 which is locked on one channel and will not allow me to change.  When I try to change channel, "Record" appears on the screen.

It appears that I have inadvertently locked the TV in "Record" mode with the Beo4 Remote.

I can't find anything in the BeoVision 6 or Beo4 manuals about this issue - it is mentioned in the BeoVision 5 manual!

I presume there is a simple method to unlock "Record" mode. 

Can anybody help me?

Thanks in advance.

 

 

Welcome to Beoworld.

Try pressing RECORD - STOP - STOP on your Beo4 remote. This should "stop" the recording.

Or try to add the buttons "LOCK" and "UNLOCK" to your Beo4 - only available in certain versions...

Hope this helps.

Stefan

Thanks for your help.

I will try this tonight.

Hi,

I tried pressing RECORD - STOP - STOP on my Beo4 remote but the TV still thinks it is recording!

I also tried to add "LOCK" and "UNLOCK" to my Beo4 but these irems did not apear to be available on my BEO4 remote.

Any other ideas?

I'm sure you have, but have you tried the customary advice in all these kinds of situation - a re-boot?

Unplug from the mains, wait 5 minutes or so, then plug in and switch on. I can't see that after power off it still locks into record.

Having said that though, my Sky+ box does!

Ok, strange. Did you try a reset? Is it possible to set the BV to standby ? (red stdby light).

What is connected to your BVs AV1 port? If anything is connected to AV1 with a scart plug, disconnect the plug and try again.

If this works connect your external device to AV2 port.

And try to press RECORD - STOP - STOP in V.MEM (V.TAPE) mode. Beo4 RECORD button usually responds just to V.MEM (V.TAPE).

Hi,

Apologies for the delay in responding - I have been on holiday.

I tried the 'old-fashioned' re-boot and it worked.

Thanks for all of the help and suggestions.
