Operation of Beomaster 6500

19 replies

I recently got a Beomaster 6500, but i am not sure if i will need a MCP to operate it correctly, as i cannot get much sense out of it by jabbing randomly at the front panel!!!

In the manuals section there is only a set up manual for this model, or a user guide for the beosystem 6500 but incorporating a beolink 7000 remote which i obviously dont have.

Any help on this one gents?

 

cheers Sandy

Hi Sandy,  

You´ll need a Beolink remote to get some functions working.
If no MCP 6500 or Beolink 7000, do you have a Beolink 1000 or 5000 ?
(or another B&O remote)

 

I have a Beo4 remote, but dont think this will work?

Should work fine for the basic functions.

If you press RADIO on Beo4, does the Beomaster switch on ?

 

Hmmm, i will need to get back to you later on as my beosound 9000 is too close to the beomaster just now and it is being turned on with the beo4 !!!  I will move the 6500 to another room and then try it.

If you use a Beosound 9000, my guess is that you will have
to set the Beo4 to work with the Beomaster 6500.
(Beo4 has settings for Beosound 9000 and other audio-systems )

 

Beo 4 should work fine with it without doing anything to the settings.

OK chaps, will try later when kiddies are in bed,

let you know how it goes.

Beo4 controls ALL functions EXCEPT programming.
