You need to connect an ir sensor from the i.r socket on the back of BV7 to Apple TV.

1.) There should be 4 i.r sockets on the BV7 (looks like a 3.5 headphone jack). If Apple TV is connected to, e.g) AV4, then use i.r 4, this then runs to the i.r sensor of Apple TV and stuck on the front. In essence the i.r of BV7 then becomes the i.r of Apple T.V.

2.) Go to connections on BV7, Go to AV4 (or what ever AV you have Apple TV connected with) and select socket, then input what ever socket it corresponds to with the socket you have used on the back. 

I have a MkII, assuming it should be the same.  

Thanks a lot for your reply Jez, but apparently the menu is different in the Bv7 Mk3

I've connected my AppleTV to AV2 under connections - then as PC - selecting the input (HMDI or Component) and that's about all I can chose in that respect. I do (apparently) not have any option to go into a menu and select the socket of the ir.

Am I or my dealer doing something wrong here?

Same problem here ... it simply does not work :(

OK BeoDane,

2 things:

The AppleTV can be 'paired' to it's remote, rather like a Bluetooth device to a Cell phone.  check Apple.com/support to see how to 'unpair' the box from its remote.  Then on the first page of the 'Connections' sub-menu for the AV input you will use you need to change the 'Autoselection' to 'yes', but I don't know why.

Hi Russ

I guess you've got this to work. Could you please list all the settings. Which PUC, PC (or V-MEM) etc ... please give us all the details ... there is something really strange going on here. Also - what is the name of the "controller-file"? iPod Remote or Apple Remote?

/M 

I wasn't directly involved in the installation involving the AppleTV, so I don't know which label/tag was used, nor which AV-input.  But the TV was a new BV-7/US, so BeoSystem 3 PUC.  The file is labeled 'Apple Remote'.

OK ... so lets take up this discussion again. The AppleTV got a gret boost at MacWorld - especially if you live in the states - and I guess that there should be quite a few Beoworlders interesting in controlling it with a B&O remote. For quite some time this has been claimed possible (if you have the Beosystem3 - separate or built into your TV). I got hte Apple Remote software update but it does not work. I'd be very happy if anyone could provide som info on this. Afterall - if beo produces a "STB-controller" named Apple Remote ... they must have tested it at some stage ;-)

 Please share your knowhow!
