Given up on the Essence already. MK1 is quite outdated so it will go back to the dealer but I found out you can change the mode on the table remote and use it as IR remote. So I'll be keeping that. I set it to switch on the AUX on the BS3200 which is what I use for streaming via an Apple Airport Express. Remote does the volume and switches the BS off as well. I like it!!

Could you - please - describe which mode is used to trigger the A.Aux ir command on the Essence Remote?

P.S. If you only wanted the Essence box for AirPlay, there is no need for it.....when you already have the APE.

Yes I only needed it for Airplay so the essence isn't required after all. 

I used a pin to press the mode button in the remote by the battery holder. Press it once then press the right arrow to change modes. There are 11 modes. I can't remember how many times I pressed right. The green lights configuration changes each time you press the right arrow.  I just carried on till the Aux switched on the BS3200. There is also the option where once you have chosen the mode. One click on the remote turn on the radio, 2 clicks turns on the CD.

Thanks!

Seems that the solution, that you now have settled on, is the right one for you....congrats.
