IQ of B&O engineers?

1. My BeoVision 8 has two ir-control sockets, identified in the menu as SC1 and SC2. These provide translated signals for a variety of peripheral units, and let you control them.

2. You'll need the ir-eye connector kit (just a cable with a minijack at one end, and an ir-eye at the other. You place the ir-eye across the ir-eye on the AppleTV. (Don't cover it entirely, as you may want to be able to use the Apple remote for some reason. Leave a little showing underneath the B&O ir-eye you're affixing to the AppleTV.

3. Make sure your BeoVision has the software installed that lets it control the "ipodremote" - this will let you send the appropriate signals to the AppleTV (or another Mac device that understand ipodremote.) Your dealer can configure this if it's missing. In the BeoVision's menu go to Connections, and then to the AV port you've connected the AppleTV to - there you'll find IR SOCKET. Pick the socket you have connected the ir-eye minijack to, and pick ipodremote after you press GO with your Beo4.

When this is stored, you should be able to control the AppleTV with your Beo4.

 

Well as I said ... the AppleTV is definitely unpaired ...

However, I think I've finally got some valid info. A guy from B&O Denmark just called and told that the very specific PUC-version I have translates Beo4 IR into death-rays. He strongly recommended me to move all valuable Apple-computers to the basement.

Ah, Munin, my log-on list was directed at Dario, not you.

I think your dealer must be unaware of the ipodremote software mod.

No worries πŸ™‚ ... I didn't reply to that ...

However I do have the iPodRemote installed  ... and everything is definitely unpaired ... and Beo4-control of the Humax works fine ... and I have tested all possible AV:s with their associated PUCs and VMEM and all the others as well ....

The BeoDane also told me that they have 380V in Denmark. So maybe 220V it's just too low for my BV7. I'll try that ... Bye for now and thanx for your patience ...

Please - DO NOT connect your BV7 to 380V !!

In Denmark are 230 V as in most countries in Europe.

I'm sure he's having a girraffe!
Great sense of humour MuninπŸ€’

maybe the port is broken, did you try using the one where you have the cable box that works?
