Fitting STB-C to MX4002
28 replies
Hi!
I'm also in desperate need for a stb-c for a mx4002 and B&O said it's no longer avaliable. I've got the 87xx model. What to do?
regards
Well that was fun!! AV9000 now has a working STB-C thanks to the sterling efforts of Terry! There were a few problems!!!
1. The kit I was sold was missing:
a. The bracket to hold the card in the set!
b. The IR cable!
c. Any nuts and bolts!
d. The software chip!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Luckily Terry had brought another set which was broken but had all the parts! The part number you want is 1403000 - accept no other! You do need the software chip as well but this is the same as the one in the Avant.
2. The instructions giving codes had no mention of the Sky box code! For your information it is 2!
3. The AVX2 has a few little foibles despite being supplied with the STB-C! With this device I now have my Sky box, my Panasonic Freeview DVD/HDD/Freeview box controlled by the DVD controller and my Wii all attached. It all workd fine except that you cannot turn off the Sky box once turned on and this will prevent the other boxes working properly. It will switch off with the Sky remote though! All other commands are no problem!
This kit will fit the MX4002 78XX ! The 87XX model is the same.

Thanks Peter,
I plan to fit the STB-C on Sunday if the weather is bad........!! Hope it is less taxing than it was for Terry!

Check you have all the bits first! It took him two and one half hours! We also discovered that the 2.3 software froze the TV - so we left the 2.0 in it. It is not that simple and this was with a practically new AV9000.

Well I've fitted the stb-c but nothing works!! It took me a little while to find where everything went using the guide but all seemed to go well........!?
When I connected up the Sky Box to AV2 and switched on MX I went to program the scart as per the instructions. Unfortunately the menu was exactly as before, giving no option to select satellite or STB.
During the installation it was noted that a cable from PCB4 linked socket23 to the Masterlink PCB. I therefore connected as instructions in the guide ie. link socket23 to STB-C PCB and then on to Masterlink PCB. Is that correct? I do link the MX to my LX which has an inbuilt analogue satellite receiver in it. This allows me to watch Eurosport for free on the MX.😁
Anyway any suggestions where I could of gone wrong or things I could try??

You switch the Sky box on with V.Aux. Get rid of the AVX2 initially! It doesn't help! Did you set the code to 2? Mine is working though the AVX2 does have a few little foibles! Once the Sky box is working, then put the AVX2 back and have a play!

Peter,
I haven't found any new menus to allow me to set the AV2 scart to the STB-C and then to the Sky Box as code 2! Where do you access the new menus? I have a user guide for an Avant or AV5 but as stated earlier I haven't found the required menus in SETUP.
I haven't got the AVX2 fitted to the MX, it is fitted to the main TV which is the LX. The MX is the link TV in the bedroom with its own seperate Sky Box.
I didn't set the AV2 scart to V.Aux as I didn't find the expected menus to control the Sky Box. Am I doing something wrong? Does anyone have a more dedicated User Guide for the STB-C on the MX?
Simon
There should have been a sheet of paper in the box which tells you how to set the code. You actually do it blind and it is a once only set up. If you have not done it yet, then it will still be possible! However I don't have access to the instructions (not sure I do anyway) as I am at work. Maybe someone can give us a clue! Did you check that there was software in the STB-C? (In the silver box!). None of the ones we had did! The MX does not work in the same way as the Avant and there is no on screen menu for set up.
