Don't forget that you can send IR commands from the hub using the two IR extenders as well...

Currently in my setup the Harmony is only used to control the non-Beo AV gear. All mounted in a cabinet, so is the hub, so it blasts IR inside the cabinet to everything, except the TV which is wall mounted. I use one of their IR blasters sitting below the TV and pointing out from the TV but it still operates the TV perfectly. Next up will be adding my BS9000 to the mix, eventually (meaning when I get the remote, a cable, and my laptop in the same place). Not a high priority to me.

edit: sorry, double

Thanks for the helpful replies all!

Where are the IR eyes located on the BL5?

I just tried to control a set of BL5 with the Harmony, but no luck yet.

Do they need to be set again in option 1 (using the beo4 remote) if they have been powered off?

If I add the Beolab 5 as device, my logitech remote (one programed) shows that as 'Bang & Olufsen AV receiver'. I also get buttons like input aux input cd input dvd etc, which I'm not sure is correct.

Any help?

i have now acquired a Beo4.

Can anyone tell me how did you add the Beolab 5 to the list of devices, and what buttons do you see? In my Logitech it shows up as 'Bang & Olufsen AV receiver' and appears to have all kinds of buttons that are not even relevant. Not sure that is right.

Using the Beo4 I have set them to option 1. The Beo4 controls both speakers fine.

Hope anyone can help.

Thanks!

hi haubjes

i think AVR is the wrong one...

i added a "beosound 3000" (or something similar) in my harmony configutation. beolab 5s reacting on the same commands like the beosounds.

then you need to press the same buttons like on the beo4 for on and off command (means "radio" for on, and "off" for off :-) )

Hi, I have exactly this same setup. Did you get it working ok? Could you share what you did perhaps?
