Sigh - that would work if my Beosystem 3 had a SCART connector. Apparently the version available in the US doesn't have one.

DVD2 won't recognize my Beo4 remote

What a joke... I bought mine extremely cheap secondhand, to stack on top of my BeoSystem 3 (EU).I wonder if it wasn’t sold in the US, if so, there must be a solution.Sigh - that would work if my Beosystem 3 had a SCART connector. Apparently the version available in the US doesn't have one.
I am working with B&O Support on a solution, but they have been a bit frustrating for some reason.
I once considered getting a DVD2 and trying a solution of connecting a SCART breadboard to make a connection of the PUC cable to the appropriate SCART pin.
As an afterthought to my last post: I suspect that B&O would have to create a PUC to make use of the PUC cable socket for a DVD2.
Looks like my request has been bumped up to engineering. Hopefully they will have a solution.
Hmmm... now support is referring me to a retailer.

Sounds like typical BeoCare arrogance.
Steve at Sounds Heavenly might be able to create a cable to get the PUC signal from mini-RCA to SCART using the correct pin. However, you would also need a custom PUC entry made to load unto your BeoSystem 3.
I'll give him a go.
Finally heard back from a retailer. The recommended approach is to hack a SCART cable to connect the CTRL port of the Beosystem 3 to pin 8 of the SCART port on the DVD 2. Parts are on the way.
