Beocenter 2 & Beo 4 Remote weird issue

[rjnicko93]

Hi all,

I currently have my Beocenter 2 connected to my Beovision 11 with a digital coax cable for CD playback, and an AUX lead into the AV input on the BV11 for DAB and FM radio.

Overall, this setup works very well — CD audio over the digital output sounds excellent. However, I’m experiencing an issue with the Beo4 remote not being remembered by the Beocenter 2.

Every time the BC2 is powered off, I have to reconfigure the Beo4; otherwise, the BC2 won’t respond to the remote at all. I have to repeat the following steps on every power-up:

• On the Beo4, press and hold [LIST] and [Power/Standby] (red dot) together until “ADD?” or “OPTION?”appears

• Press [LIST] until “OPTION?” is shown, then press [GO]

• Press [LIST] until “A.OPT” (Audio Option) appears

 

The problem is that this setting never seems to be retained.

I’m wondering whether the BC2 has some kind of PRAM or backup battery (possibly in the socket box) that may have failed. Someone on Facebook also suggested it could be similar to the Beocenter 9000, where remote functionality is disabled if no Power Link speakers are connected.

I’m not sure which (if either) is correct, as the manual doesn’t mention this behaviour at all.

Any insight would be appreciated.
