Two BV's in the same room

21 replies

Hello.

Does anybody know how to (if possible) control two Beovisions, one 7-40 and one 8-32 separately with one Beo 4 remote, when the two BV's are placed in the same room?

Hi Bo!

I have seen in B&O stores in the past that they put a plastic cap over the top of Beo4 to narrow the IR beam (?) so that one really has to point to the device to control it. Maybe that would help?

You can also adjust the IR strength in the TVs menu settings although this might not add much benefit with just 1 remote.

Hi Ferdinand.

Oh yeah! 

I remember seeing that done with Beolink 1000 too! 🙂

Hi.

Haven't been able to figure out where, or how to do that.

MM solutions is the real solution; set one TV in option 4.

 

Hi.

Maybe I am a bit slow here?

I simply can't figure out what u mean and how to do it...

The BV can must/can be set in an option (depending the setup one have). If you have two BV in one room you set on in option 1 or 2 (see manual which you need) and the second one in option 4.

If you want to controll the second one all remote command have to start with "Link" command. So to start this BV - Link TV. The first BV can be started with TV.

 

Thanks. I now set the BV8 to option 4. It turns on when I use the command LINK - TV. The BV 7 doesn't. so far so good. Tried setting the BV 8 to both option 1 and option 2. And when I press only TV on  the remote both tv's still turn on. What's wrong?
