It is not that hard to do (when you don’t need the 4K-thingy and all the apps etc on the new OLED).

Just do as Johan wrote!

No need for a tv like the Sony with the speakers inside - they would have to be disabled anyway.

But be prepaired for some diy-ing in order to make the OLED-tv fit on the stand above the 7.2.

By the way, I have never heard of a 'motorized wall bracket for a BV4-50'.

P.S. If you really need someone to help, it would be helpfull to tell roughly where you are located.

I was thinking of the Sony XR55A90J in case I used it with its own speakers, I also wondered if its speakers could be linked to the B&O speakers.

If you Google "Future Automation PSE90" you will see the stand, if you click on "videos" you can see it in operation, my bracket is programmed into my Beo5 and the screen and BL 7.2 glide from the flat wall position to a position across the corner of the room so you never see the bracket, its a real bit of kit unlike the overpriced "wall hinge" used on the eclipse.

fitting a new screen/tv will be an easy task the BL 7.2 would remain as it is

The biggest problem I see is that unless you have a copy of the file programmed into the Beo5, you are going to lose the ability to control the stand, because  even if you (or someone else) reprograms it, you cannot retrieve the file that includes the IR codes for the stand. The Lintronic box will assist  there but only if you have the original IR remote for the stand.

I do happen to have the remote for the wall bracket and I've never thought before but it does control the  stand if needed obviously through the (separate IR) that the Beo5 uses 

I'm not very technical but give me a mangled car and I'll have it back to how it was before the crash 

I'm in the UK  WF15 8HU

I'd love to pay someone to get round the B&O obstacles as they don't seem to bother about the losses endured by there loyal customers !!!!!!

Wow - that is a monster - I did not know of that, so thanks for pointing at it.

Yes, that indeed seems to be an easy task.

I hope you find someone in your region to help you - and look forward to see some pics of your project later on.

Hi Graham60,

I'm the wrong side of the country to you really (I'm down in Bristol), but I have a Beosystem3 myself and am familiar with the obstacles you are facing. I don't necessarily have the answers you seek, but I am willing to talk with you on the phone and discuss it. There are ways to trick the beosystem3 into turning ON/OFF non B&O success, but it would take careful planning and probably be best done in stages.

Let me know if you'd like to talk it through on the phone

Thanks, 

David

Hi David,

sound interesting that you are able to trick the beosystem 3. Would be you able to elaborate more?

I can't take credit for working it out. Nigel seems to be the man for the job here. But when I get time I want to rework this to work on an Arduino. Useful links:

Hope that helps.

Hi David,

I am also over the other side, down in Exeter, but could possibly help with the programming of your Beo5 if you choose to go dwon that route. The Beo5 should be able to control a Sony (or other OLED) TV providing the remote for it is IR.

Did a B&O dealer programme the Beo5 for you? If they did, you could ask them for a copy of the file (your XML File) on a USB stick and then, with a copy of the Beo5 Configuration Tool, you can update the remote by amending that file and downloading it to the remote. There is a bit of a learning curve but it is doable if you get the file from your dealer. If they do give it to you, you could email it to me to take a look at and see if I can assit.
