My very first post on the new Beoworld so, please be tolerant.  I have had a Beo4 remote for about 18 months to control my BC 9300.  You will not be surprised to hear that, although the BC 9300 is behind me I can 'fire it up' etc no matter which direction I point the Beo4.  As from yesterday this no longer applies & when I point the Beo4 in the opposite direction to the Beo4 nothing happens.  Being a total 'Thicko'  I assume (& pray) that this just means new batteries are required?  Comments please.

I would assume that new batteries are required. Worth changing them before you go any further. The beo4 is fairly bombproof apart from falls onto hard surfaces and people spilling suff into the keypad!!

Oh! by the way, welcome to Beoworld.

Hi,

Welcome on the forum. The beo4 shows on the diplay when new batteries are required.

I think you should 'program' the beo 4 first before you could use it for diffrent B&O equipment.

Or maybe your BC9300 has a 'remote lock', I mean that you have to set your BC9300 to remotecontrol before it reacts on the commands of the beo4. 

Just a few suggestions, but maybe someone else knows the real problem.

Greetings,

Ruud

Does it? I've used Beo4s which have died as soon as I've pressed a button, but they show nothing extra on the display. Am I missing something?

Thanks Graham.  As I'm always very gentle with my 'toys'  you've come up with just the reply I wanted.

Hi,

My beo4 really does give the sign ´Battery´ when they are low. Maybe some older or just newer types do not, my beo4 is about 7 years old.

Greetings,

Ruud

On the older ones which the LCD screen dulls and then disappears. It happens so infrequently that you forget what is happening.

Hi Ruud. You must have a special Beo4!
I have about fiteen Beo4s and I have never seen Battery on the display.
Jerryatric, If it was fine for the last 18 months I wouldn't mess with the programming. Just whack some new batteries in. Bet that restores it to it's former glory.😁
