It's certainly been a long time since anyone has used this thread, however my Beosystem 3 was installed last night by my local dealer and i have to say it's INCREDIBLE!!! Everything worked first go with my Sony LCD and the picture quality on the screen is, in my opinion, better than before!

I'm still in the process of sourcing a centre speaker however even with stealing my rear BL3 to use as centre, it sounds incredible. I'm also controlling everything through my Beo4, which has shed at least 3 remotes.

So far, no issues!!

Congratulations and welcome to the club!

Let us know how you get on and keep us posted of your centre speaker choice.

I have the KDL-46X2000, unfortunately there is no RS232 port on it so i'm stuck with 2 remote controls....one that simply turns the TV on and Off and the Beo4 that does EVERYTHING else......it's bearable....for now.

Actually the one thing i need to look into is the converter that takes in IR and converts to Bluetooth for my PS3. What does everyone use for this? I've seen articles on the IR2BT, does anyone have any experience with this, or can offer advise on others?

The BS3 can have a puc update to conrtol a PS3 as it output the controls for the PS3 convertor remote what takes in the IR signals and plus into the ps3 via USB as it was origianlly for the PS2.

As for turnign the tv off why not buy a lintronic convertor so when you press the source of anything visual it can output the on command for your tv and when you press off it outputs the off comand.

 

I have the PS3 pucs installed on the BS3, i just need to get a reliable converter, so still on the hunt.

What converter are you referring too, i've not had any experience with the Lintronic range so if you could send a link or part code that would be great.

Hi there

the puc is actually for a device for the PS2 as this had a USB receiver that recieved codes from a IR remote and sends them into the PS2 via USB

B&o puc code is for that convertor someone on here will know or have a search as i explored this a short while ago.

As for the convertor im not 100% up to date but you can get a
