The Beo4 / Beo 4 remote variants thread: All Info in one place

11 replies

Hi,

there seem to be more Beo 4 variants than the common B&O user (in this case me) knows.
I know there's the Joystick version, DVD, Cinema etc. but there seem to be more.

I would like to initiate this thread to have the information for all known Beo 4 variants in one place for all interested users.

Maybe in the form of:
- Picture
- correct type/description
- functions

- Beo 4 "MP3:
So I've found one with a MP3 button on ebay Germany but the seller couldn't tell me which function "MP3" will activate on a B&O device. Does someone know about that remote?
Here it is:

- Beo 4 DVD / V.AUX

Than there's a Beo 4 with DVD and a V.AUX button which I found in the archived forums:
/forum/general-discussion-and-questions/mx8000-and-beo4-mark-iv

What type is that and where do I find one?

 

 

 

 

I suspect there are several 'customised' versions out there too.  There is also the Hotel version.  A full list would be nice to add to the products section.

Not to mention the different sw-versions of these remotes...

Must be documented somewhere at B&O - at least I hope so.

Here is another version that I have in my kitchen to pilot my BV6-26

Is that the "hotel" variant ?

You watch eBay very patiently for several years!  I bought mine (on UK eBay) when I lived in Denmark - it came from someone who worked for B&O.  Alternatively a couple of the resellers have then, but you'll pay a hefty premium!  (EDIT: Lifestyle call it the Beo4 Mk5)

You've probably seen it before, but there's lots about SW versions here:

I have a Beo4 with the joystick toggle. But it cannot picture mute the radio station static picture when used with the BV11.

From discussion in another thread, there is another version of this Beo4 that does bring up the P.Mute option in LIST when the radio is in use. I can get a P.Mute option in LIST with just about every function except the radio button. Either the wrong Beo4 was provided with my BV11, or someone at B&O momentarily forgot that radio stations put out static information pages with their Freeview transmissions.
