Select Beo4 navigation wheel ?!

11 replies

Hello Peter and Svend fans,

I just received a Beo4 with navigation wheel (to test what's wrong with the IR receiver of my BV10-40) and I'm unable to select the right remote in the menu.

Each time I select "Beo4 with navigation wheel" in the "choice of Beo4" menu it goes automatically on "Beo4 without navigation wheel" and stays like that.

I can't select it and it's frustrating.

Any clue here please ?

Cheers,

Gregory

 

Your remote is set to work as a normal beo 4 out of the box (mode 2). you have to set it to mode 3 then you can select with navi. press list and st.by at the same time to enter the setup on beo 4.

Thank's a lot, can't wait to try it tonight at home !

I will let you know then.

 

Cheers,

I know mode 2 is for "old" Beo4 use with navigation button just for pressing GO and BACK is EXIT...

Mode 1 and mode 3 are for the new navigation function - with some nice new features btw - But what is the difference between mode 1 and 3?

It´s not mentioned in the manual....

Depending on the TVs of your link system you should select   

either Mode 1:

- When all televisions have the Beo4 setting menu and
- When no television in the link system is operated with an older Beo4

For instance:
Main room  : A1 chassis e.g. BV 7-40 Mk3/4/5
Link room 1: B6 chassis e.g. BV/BC 6-26
Link room 2: C2.x chassis e.g. BV 10-40/46

or Mode 2: (default setting ex factory)

- Works like Beo4 (162x)
- When at least one television in the link system does not have the Beo4 setting menu …
- … or is operated with old Beo4

For instance:
Main room  : A1 chassis e.g. BV 7-40 Mk3/4/5
Link room 1: B6 chassis e.g. BV/BC 6-26
Link room 2: S2 chassis e.g. Avant/Beosystem 1/2


or Mode 3:

- When a television with C2.x chassis is placed in the main room
  (with navigation button´selected)
- When there is no television with A1 chassis in the link system
- When at least one link room television in the link system
  does not have the Beo4 setting menu
- When no television in the link system is operated with an older Beo4

For instance:
Main room  : C2.xx chassis e.g. BV 10-40/46
Link room 1: B6 chassis e.g. BV/BC 6-26
Link room 2: S2 chassis e.g. Avant/Beosystem 1/2

Thanks for your reply. Can all LCD Beovisions be upgraded to "Beo4 setting menu" ?

There is a BV7-40 MKIII, a BC6-26 and a BV6-22 in my setup.

As far as I know - not being 100% sure about it 

!Yes!  - for BV 7-40Mk3 - SW update needed
?Yes? - for BC6-26  - SW update needed
! No ! -  for BV6-22

Yes, thanks, just what I expected...

My BV7-40 will be updated next week. I just got my (first) Beo4 navi 🙂

Stefan

When the labtop is coming to your house, try to update the BC6-26 too.
As I understand the issue, due to different hardware, some can be 
updated to be Beo4 1710 compatible - others not.

So, in mode 3 it worked with BV10-40.

Thanks a lot again !

BTW, the new setup "beo4 with navigation wheel and selected in the menu" didn't change my IR receiver problem.

New beo4 is going back to the shop.

Cheers,
