Hi

First post here!

 

I have an MX7000 from around 1994, with a motorized stand from about 2000.

When the stand was installed, the installer set the default position for the tv to turn to when it is switched on.

This worked Great!, but unfortunately i have since moved the tv, so it now turns away from the viewing position.

From reading on the B&O website and these forums, the method of setting this stand position seems to  have changed, as my tv is lacking most of the menu's discussed.

Does anyone know how set the position on the old software?

 

Any help would be fantastic!!

Cheers

Tom.

Hi Tom, welcome to Beoworld.

 

You don't say which remote you are using to control the MX7000 but have a look HERE to see if it answers your question.

Regards,

Steve

That will be a problem - the old software needs the stand controlled with a PICTURE command, and I don't think the Beo4 can send it 🙁

It's strange, i can definitely remember it being done with the Beo4, I just have no idea how! the link in the post 2 above suggested i press store twice, i tried adding the store function to the list, but it doesn't show up? it is in the list of options i can remove, but dose not show up anywhere else!

 

Worst case scenario, are B&O able to upgrade the software, the tv is probably due for a service anyway.

Well, I hope someone knows the Beo4 trick if it exists! This is one area where the designers weren't at their sharpest; similarly, if you have the newer software, you have problems controlling the stand with the older remotes.

STORE is probably one of the more "clever" Beo4 options and will only show up when the remote thinks it is relevant.

Upgrading the software would also require upgrading some module in the TV (teletext?) so I don't believe it will be practical. Getting a used BL1000 would be cheaper!

Thanks for that.

Yeah, hopefully somone will know how to do it with the beo4, seems strange a tv would ship with a remote not capable of controling all the features!

Anyway i did a quick ebay check and i can get a Bl1000 for about $40AU from the uk.

I can do that fine, its just when the tv turns on it goes to a preset location.

I am wanting to change this location.

 

Thanks though!

with the tv on, use the STAND + << >> to move it to the viewing position desired, press STORE twice...

 

EDIT... scratch that! i see you already tried!

have you tried the move, then pressed GO

i am sure i have done this w/ a beo4??? 😂
