V1-40 finally installed, just a few issues

42 replies

Today I got my white V1-40 installed on a wall mount in my bedroom and I really love it!

However, I do have two problems.

1) The signal is so strong that my office-tv (avant 32 dvd) turns on/off when using the remote. Is my only option to program the avant to be a link-tv? And how should I proceed?

The avant is linked with masterlink to be used as a speaker for radio/cd in a BeoSound stereo.

2) When using the radio-button on a beo4 in my office with the bedroom-door open my V1 turns on. I have disabled the source RADIO (button - none). It doesnt respond to radio when on. But when off it turns on.

A bit annoying :) 

Except for that I have to say the TV is very nice. I love the sound and the looks. The menues (especially the EPG is very nice).

Get an IR reducer for that V1 Beo4. Probably the easiest solution. Did you attach any other speakers?

Do you mean those ugly plastig things they put on top of the remote in the stores so you have to point the remote directly towards the TV? They are hidious and makes it very bad I think.

I did not attatch any speakers. And the Beo4 from the office makes the V1 start, and vice versa.

 

I think the RADIO response problem was mentioned in one of the other threads - perhaps your only hope is a software update ?

your Beo4s must be stronger than mine - or perhaps you have reflecting surfaces ? or perhaps there is direct line of sight between the components in the two different rooms ?

I don't have this issue between our rooms - but we have an old house, soft furnishings, lots of clutter (hundreds of books).

You might have to use the LINK prefix :-(

Please post photographs :-)

And why do you like the menus - I would like to see what they look like with your content - thanks !

Try adjusting the strength of the IR signal. Look HERE.

Or configure one remote so that it only controls the V1. I've had to do that with my linkroom TVs. The single Beo4 controls most stuff in my apartment, but it would occasionally switch on my BC26 in the kitchen.

Only easy way around that was to give the BC26 it's only dedicated Beo4, configured so it would only control that device. Won't affect anything else, including other audio devices in the same room.

Just configure the Beo4 that ships with the V1 to control the V1.

sorry moxxey, but how do you "tune" a BO4 that way ?

I always forget. The B&O installer did it the first time and I had to look it up on the internet when I accidentally reset the TV sw a few months ago.

You have to assign the Beo4 to that TV so it only controls that device. Once setup, no need for short range infrared restrictors etc.

I think you have to put it in Option 1:

Press and hold

LIST

Press to access the setup functions.  The Beo4 display reads [OPTION?] - let go of both buttons

GO

Press to access Option-programming

LIST

Press to display: V.OPT (BeoVision) or A.OPT (BeoMaster/BeoSound) or L.OPT (link room products)
then  

1

Key in the number of the appropriate Option (e.g. 1)

I have to press both the red power button and the List button at the same time, I then see ADD? on the LCD display, I have to press List a few times to see Option ?

Move ?

Remove ?

Option ?

hit the Go button to select Option, then I get the three choices

V.OPT

L.OPT

A.OPT

this is on a Beo4 with the Sat DVD CD buttons on the second row of the remote

Location: London UK

when i was in struer on the beoworld trip the girl showing us the vi in the store at the farm said all the beo4s had reduced signal strength programmed other wise every thing on display would come on

check how this is done might be of help
