Can't connect Beo4 to AppleTV

Hi M,

 

please re-read the entire thread.

 

Including my (accidental) double-post.  😳

Well - I have read the entire thread

 These are my settings:

AV5 (and the IR Remote Controll Cable is plugged into the corresponding PUC) 

Source PC

Automatic selection Yes

HDMI A

And the  "Stb controller software" or whatever the name is for it is called "Apple Appleremote"

 

 Is there anything else that I should be aware of?

I've had the same problem with an Apple TV for months ... fortunately the customer also purchased a BeoMedia so it wasn't all that important at the time.  Now Post-Macworld-Keynote it's certainly an issue that I need to resolve.

 

The weird thing about my installation is that I have a BV7MKIII originally connected to and controlling the Apple TV.  That unit was replaced with a BeoSystem 3 and BV4 65" shortly afterwards and thats when the controls in the PUC controller just stopped working!

I'm going to do a little bit of experimenting and I'll post my results!

Have you made certain to 'unpair' the Apple TV and it's included remote?

 

Russ

Yes it is unpaired

Hi Alex,

How is (was) your BV7-40 Mk3 connected to the AppleTV? My dealer and myself are still having problems and it's unsolved. Apparently many users are struggling with this problem, despite the stb list of "Apple Remote", "iPod Dock" and "iPod Remote" in the stb list.

Could you please give a detailed list to "Connecting AppleTV to BeoVision 7-40 Mk3 for Dummies" so we can use our Beo4 and Beo5 to control the ATV

Input very much appreciated!

Thanks in advance Alex

With my Avant and Apple TV, I found that I could not use the "V.Aux" command (if connected to the V.Aux input) on the Beo4 but rather had to use the "TV" button on the Beo4 to toggle to the Apple TV connection. Granted, this is a Beosystem 1 based system rather than a Beosystem 3 based system -- still I thought it might be of some help.

I fully agree 

"Connecting AppleTV to BeoVision 7-40 Mk3 for Dummies" is precisely what I am after right now.

After all ... connecting the TV to a Humax HDTV STB was no problem ... but the AppleTV - no way.

How hard can it be??? 

I have:

AV2: VMEM

PUC: AV2 

STB: Apple Remote

HDMI: A

Autoselection: YES

 I unpaired the Remote of the apple tv.

Still doesn't work???

What am I doing wrong....
