Works like a charm, but the Beo4 doesn't work (of course) when the screen is in front of the tv (and blocks the ir eye). Can someone help me with what I need to get this working? Do I need a BeoLink eye or some kind of ir eye? (Does someone have a part no to what I might need?)
Hi Christian,
Yes, you need to plug an IR eye into the IR-IN socket on the BS3 and mount this somewhere it will not be covered when the screen is down.

Altough not a must, I'm also wondering about if it is possible to turn the projector on/off and screen up/down with the Beo4 without much hassle.
This can be done, but how easy this is to achieve and what additional hardware is required will depend on the model of screen and projector you are using. If you projector is one for which there is a PUC available, then an IR emitter can be plugged into the IR 1+2 socket to control the projector. Relays can be attached to the CINEMA socket to control the screen. Then when you enter cinema mode (using LIST->FORMAT->0 on the Beo4) the projector would turn on, the screen would lower, and the video output will switch from the BV9 screen to the projector.
