As I remember there is a set-up procedure to be done with the BL7000. I think you have to remove all sources and then add them again. I had to to that to make it work with my BC9500.

I've tried it already, but to no avail. Still no two-way functionality.

Then try to make a photo with your camera or phone when the BC are supposed to send. That will be directly after it has received a command.

If no response is shown then probably you have to to look for some problems in the IR sending unit. Probably not the IR diodes, since there are four of them  (as you can see) its unlikely that they are all broken.

I was also considering a defect to be rather unlikely, since no two-way device in my posession ever failed sending signals. I'll check later and report back.

Another thought that came to my mind: since the unit is new, is there a cap that needs to be reomoved or any adjustments that need to be made or should it just work right away?

Cheers!

To my knowledge it should work right away.

It's not working unfortunately - no matter what I do. Any ideas what the reason might be?

In advance I wish to confirm, that I don't know nothing about this configuration.

However the problem is so strange, maybe an uncommon idea can help You, if it fits this case. As I remember well, there were several problems with the remotes if the "Option" setting was wrong, or incorrect. I think if it fits to BC9500, maybe You can check the "Option" setting to a correct value for a two way communication.

As I mentioned earlier, I don't know if this "option" even exists in this system, so I have no idea how to set it - even if it's available for this system.

Thanks very much. I will try that once more later on. I have no idea which option the Beocenter was configured to. So I configured it to 2. It's a stand alone audio device not linked to a TV.

It's quite unusual that the Beocenter is not sending anything. Haven't read anything about such an issue on here. However, it's well receiving all signals from the Beolink 7000 and in full working order. Only problem is that it's not sending. But as I've said, it's new old stock, so hasn't been used for at least 20 years. This might cause the capacitors to go empty, doesn't it?

Any further ideas?

I've now figured out that the Beocenter sends something but only when I place the Beolink 7000 right in front of it does the remote receive the signals. Same thing happens when I use different two-way remotes and normally they receive signals even when placed a couple of meters away from the Beomaster. Bad capacitors?
