Two BV's in the same room

21 replies

One TV must stay in option 4

The other in option 1 or 2

 

I have that scenario as well. I have two TV's very close to eachother. However, I use two remotes. One Beo4 works as usual with the TV in option 1/2. The other remote us set in permanent link mode. You can do that with a combination of key presses on the Beo4. This Beo4 is then controlling the TV in option 6. Since the remote is in permanent link mode you don't have to press link before every command anymore 

To get a remote in permanent link mode:

 

Press STANDBY and LIST button at the same time

Up/Down until you see CONFIG

Press 2, 0, 0, 2 and then the display will show LINK ON

Press EXIT

 

It requires a minimum SW version in the remote. But try it out. It works on all my MKII and MKIII of the Beo4

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?

Be sure that not both BV’s react, when you do the option programming.

Turn one off from the mains and do the programming on the other - then turn that off and do the programming on the first.

If Bo Xamuel has just one Beo4 remote - which is not too old - he can place the Link command from the List to be in the first place, when he pushes List.

This way it will be fairly easy to use the same remote for both tv’s.

Although I must admit that having two remotes set up as you recommend is the best way to go......if you know which is which ;-))

Hi.

I did exactly what u told me to the first time, the problem is, that no matter what option the BV 7 is set to (1/2), the BV 8 keeps turning on every time i press tv on the remote used for the BV 7. The BV 7 does not turn on when i use the remote for the BV 8, however. I have a remote for for each set.

Does your BV8-32 have the Masterlink module built-in?

It just doesn't work. No matter what option the BV 7 is set to, the BV 8 keeps turning on when I push TV on the remote ment for the BV 7, even after the BV 8 is set for option 4, and the BV 7 for either 1 or 2. The BV 7, however does not turn on when I use the remote ment for the BV 8 and press LIST - LINK - TV. Only the BV 8 does, as I wanted it to.
