thank you!

I dont think Essence remote will work with Eclipse. Because the BeoVision Eclipse only have Bluetooth remote mode, its not work with IR and the Beovision mode in beoremote one is for IR like BV 11, 12, (system4), beoplay V1. The Beoremote one in bluetooth mode is the only controll for eclipse. 

I dont think Eclipse is compatibly to the essence remote in BT mode. If it is, let me know=) i dont think it works. but if you have the eclipse and essence remote try to pair it up and see. 

The Beoremote One can also work with Beosound Essence in bluetooth mode? Right? Never tried a Beoremote one, just a guess. As far as I understand the Beoremote One also works with BV14 and Horizon - these do not have IR.

If a BR1 shall work with an ir-based product (e.g. a BV11) it must be put into ir-mode.

To work with a BT-based tv it must use BT-mode - and be paired with it.

You can use a BR1 with the Essence, if this has an ir-eye connected....and the BR1 is in ir-mode.

ah okay, same way as using a beo4/beolink1000. Through a BS Essence and BR1 both have bluetooth, it is not possible to use it that way?

Hi Mike,

The Essence remote is such a great design and I'm quite a fan of it also!

Yes, I have tried and tested pairing it to a BeoVision Eclipse and it does work due to the Sound Centre part of the television having the same internal software as the multi-room products. 

The Essence remote will allow you basic functions such as volume control, skipping tracks/channels and muting the sound

To pair the Essence remote via the Eclipse can be done in three ways - one of them is by holding down the Bluetooth pairing button (left side beneath Sound Centre), secondly we can go into the bluetooth pairing menu in the settings of the Eclipse and lastly we can log onto the IP address of the SoundCenter and pair via remote control Bluetooth.

I'm uncertain if it will work with the BeoVision 14, only just due to the fact I've never tested it. I do have a Horizon which I can test the same pairing on - should be the same way to pair to a 14 as it uses the same software platform. 

Thanks

Thanks for testing - that’s great.

But doesn’t it also allow for the Join command?

Please let us know about your results with the BV14 and the Essence Remote.

Would be nice, if these function were a bit more documented from B&O.

I guess a big wish from a lot of costumers would be that the BR1/BT could work with the NL-audioproducts such as the M5, the Essence etc etc, too.

But that is for another thread.
