Beoremote One, Beovision 9 and Apple TV: Navigation keys don't work

32 replies

Actually it isn’t that hard to understand.

Any (ir-based) BV, that can be controlled by a Beo4/navi, can be controlled by a BeoRemote One (ir).

Some BV’s had the option to choose between navigating with or without the navi stick (instead of the arrows).

By some of these it was a matter of sw version, whether they could or not - and hw version in some cases.

All newer (again ir-based) BV’s are made for controlling via navi per default.........and therefore also works with the BROne (which was the delievered remote for these tv’s).

 

If you have a BV with the choise of controlling with or without - and it is set to navy, but you only have an oldschool Beo4, there is a solution.

You can use the digits counting the menus from above....means: instead of navigating with the arrows you enter the 1, 2, 3 etc for the ‘number’ of the menu, you want to access.

This way it is possible to navigate to the menu where you can change to ‘old school Beo4’.

I was having the same problem controlling an Apple TV through a BeoVision 8 that hasn't been updated to support navi commands. I found that I could navigate using the P+, P-, <<, and >> buttons for UP, DOWN, LEFT, and RIGHT. The > (play) button worked for "select." My problem was navigating back to previous screens. The "back" button of the BeoRemote One had no effect. This might be because I didn't have the Apple Remote loaded in my PUC and had to do the remote learning feature of the Apple TV. I could not get the Apple TV to learn the "back" button. It also would not learn the color buttons as they didn't register as long presses. What I ended up doing was to have the Apple TV learn the "pause" button of the BeoRemote One for the "Menu" command of the Apple TV. This seems fine since pressing "play" toggles between Play and Pause on the Apple TV. Now, I seem to have full control using the BeoRemote One.

I was just about to return my beoremote one bt when your tip helped me! For the apple tv, I just paired it with bluetooth! Its a bit of a hassle that the volume doesn't work, unless I switch to beo4 video but I can live with that!

I have a BeoVision 10 and Apple TV4. I got the BeoRemote One BT because I thought it would be easier with just one remote instead of both Beo4 and the Apple TV remote. But having to switch between Beo4 Video and Apple TV on the BeoRemote One really annoys me. I have to press five (5!) times on the List and navigation buttons before I can change the volume, when I'm using the Apple TV 4.

Is there really no way this can be done i an easier way? Else I think I'm going back to the Beo4 and the Apple TV remote - but i really love the design and finish of the BeoRemote One, so I'd rather not. Any help?

Of course if you do this then you should also be able to control the volume of the BV with the Apple TV remote, but you probably know that!

Honestly, the only proper solution is to get the right PUC codes loaded on the tv.....if possible in your area.

It will cost, yes - but after that you will have that ‘true B&O feeling’ controlling your setup.

Hi,

there is no solution to this right?

 

I am having the same issue, Beo4 Navigation was working flawless on my ancient apple TV, now Beo 4 got replaced with BeoOne BT and the navigation cross on the new remote is not working as it was on the Beo4.

 

Cheers

B&O could easily provide a solution by rolling out a firmware upgrade for the BeoRemote One BT that adds a device for "Beo4 Non-Navi." Perhaps if enough of us approach Beocare about this they'll see the need to add it.

Looking at the manual  on page 24 of the Beoremote One BT. The Beo 4 they have pictured looks different than mine. Mine has an EXIT button where as the Beo 4 in the manual has a PLAY button instead.

Is there a way to get the EXIT button? Even with a navigation Fix I'd still miss the EXIT button. 

 

Cheers

Sorry, looks like it doesnt let me edit. 

 

The EXIT button is my "BACK" button on my Apple TV. Just enabling the navigation would leave this open
