Apart from the technical challenge, am I the only one wondering about the practical use of such a function?
I mean, you will have to go to the player to load or change discs anyways, - or am I missing something?

I recall a thread on this forum years ago about the interest especially with a BeoGram CD 4500 to reduce fingerprints and excessive touching of the touch-control panel.

Oh..
And the OP has a non-working keyboard on his Beocenter 2500.
Makes sense now... perhaps. ❓

I had the same problem with my Beocenter  ouverture, had to replace the keypad.

works great now.

Sorry, it was the membrane behind the keypad, this is the place I bought it from. It takes a bit of time and a sharp chisel.

A bit of help perhaps..  All the codes are here:

I believe that load command is actually the EJECT command 0x2D

I am 100% sure you could do this with the AV terminal, which by by far is the most versatile of the IR remotes. A lot of the deeper, cool functions was unfortunately lost in the BEO4 implementation, although the codes still exist!

 

I've found some surprising codes available when programming a Beo5/Beo6. Maybe looking for the EJECT command there could show some Beo4 equivalent button combination.

Any idea of the key sequence?  I presume you have to use the SHIFT or CONTROL button?  Can it be done with the BL5000?

I found the EJECT command in the Beo5/6 configuration and created a button for it. It works! I tried it on my BeoSound 2300 and my BeoGram CD 4500 and it opens the door and/or clamper.

The Beo5/6 configuration tool only showed the command as "EJECT." It did not show any alternate command name.

I am playing with it right now 🙂 

I remember opening and closing the tray on the CD player  in the 5500 system using the AV remote, I dont know about the BL5000 though!

There was a lot of easter eggs in that remote. One I vividly remember was the ability to use wildcards in text tv. *** would simply show the entire set  of pages flashing by as they were decoded, quite fascinating, and doing it on someone else's TV always made people panic... 🙂

I will let you know if i succeed.
