Thanks Weebyx,

I popped into my dealer yesterday and he showed me that exact remote, so i've just ordered one online (£8.95).

So is it just Power On/Off that can't be controlled?? Is there a solution for this?

Beosystem 3 can turn sony panel on/off. I've my sony panel listed in the BS3 puc list. I am using IR flasher that goes in the BS3 IR1+2 to the sony screen and i am able to turn the tv on/off using beo 4.

Thanks for that subversive, is the IR on the Sony, the far right light on the glass section at the bottom?? If not, can you explain where it goes.
It is on the far right side on the glass section of the sony screen and you can place it behind that glass instead of front. You would also need an IR Y adapter that will go on the IR 1+2 on BS3.  IR Y adapter has 1 input silver and the other Gold. If your B&O dealer doesn't know send me a PM and I will get you the part number. The IR cable will go in either silver or gold input. I don't know exactly which one because i would have to look at my setup.

But that does'nt work with the Playstation 3.

It is not possible to turn the PS3 on via IR receivers since the PS3 shuts off the power to the USB ports when off. You can turn it off via the PS3 menu, but you cannot turn it on again.

The PS3 uses originally Bluetooth as remote devices, so for it to be able to handle the IR codes from BS3, then you need a IR dobgle that goes into the PS3 USB port.

I agree with you about the PS3 but I was talking about turning on/off sony panel not PS3. I am controlling my PS3 using a Nyko USB dongle and it works great except turning on/off. I really don't care about the on/off feature because I've to get up anyway to place the disk in the PS3. 

 

Have any of you actualy found a Uk seler for the Nyko dongle?  Maybe my google skils are leting me down but I can't find any in the UK.

 

Thanks

Sorry! I am in USA and there are plenty available here in store and online.

Ah, ok, så you were commenting on another message ?

It is a bit confusing when not using the "quote" option instead of the reply :)
