problems with B&O 6 touch remote control

12 replies

Hi.

I bought a second hand product B&O 6 touch remote a couple of months ago.

As I unwrapped my new beautiful product I realised the product was a lot more than just a remote control. It needed to be paired in a different way than other remotes, and was a lot more complicated to start up.

So I tried to solve the connections myself -  Big mistake..
As I tried to pair to BS 9000 and BeoSound 4 with my new product, suddenly none of my old remotes no longer worked  (BeO 4).

I think somehow I have changed the settings by mistake in my BS 9000 and BeoSound 4. Both of them made a "click" sound and turned off. Since then I have not been able to use any of my remotes which is quite annoying as time goes by.

Any suggestions to how I can connect my B&O 6 remote so that everything works again, thank you!

The remote will have been specifically programmed for the previous owner's specific setup and unless he happened to have a Beosound 9000 and Beosound 4 set up exactly as you do, the remote will not have all the correct settings and/or buttons on the screen. You will need to get hold of a copy of the Beo Configuration Tool and programme the remote yourself. 

It is a fairly complicated process, with a steep learning curve, but very satisfying when you get it working.

Hi  Weebyx.

Just tried your advice - thank you very much for your help. My Beo4 remote now works again on both my B&O products. So fantastic after all the frustrations :-)

Do you have any ideas how to get my new beo 5/6 in "option 1" as my Beo4 remote?

Thanks again...


Hi Stoobie.

Thanks for your reply. 
Yes, I believe you are right - it's a complicated proces. I think I will contact my local store for help or maybe try to find a solution om the internet..

 

Hi Stoobie.

Just tried to use your advise.

Thank you for that - it works fine for now. I will try to customise later on.

I second that. It's a very beautiful and intriguing object which happen to be very useful if well programmed.
It's hard at first and I'm still micro-tweaking mines, but i would be very lost if any should fail.

Nice butttons!

Yes, handling well the use of pictures unleash the usability of the remote. This and the "navigation" tab.

I'm lucky as I have a Philips Pronto which I can learn IR, I then am trying Jacob Rungwald's Third Party XML Generator on my iPad. All seems to work, but a bit slow having to swap between my ipad and PC. But worth it in the end.

Hi again.

Thanks for your answer - looks fantastic  😁

Since I don't have any software to use for programming my second hand Beo5 - or knowledge for that matter, can you take med through the basics from start how to get it up and running?

I have searched the internet for a solution but the software that people often are referring to (links) no longer exists.

Found this danish guy rungwald.dk and his app, but does not know how to use it..

Hi again.

Ok,  thank you anyways for your help. Last possibility for me is to vist my local B&O store I guess..
