I put this in the configuration tool and suggest the following:
Try the BS5 in A.OPT 1 – I think it should auto-configure.
And the BS4 in A.OPT 6.
But the Config Tool does also say that if you want the BS4 to be the ‘audiomaster’ and only use BS5 for N.MUSIC/N.RADIO, then audiomaster YES/NO must be set to NO on the BS5 which then disables its OPTION settings. I hope this makes sense!

It sounds like the unit is faulty. It could be worth going back to the seller to ask for a refund.

Hi Jonny and welcome to Beoworld!
Even with nothing else connected, you should get at least a stand-by light, and the Timer light should come on also when you press the Timer button.
I assume that the C7 lead has been checked with something else to prove the fuse in the plug is OK (if in UK), and that the C7 connector is pushed fully into the socket?

Yes, I can control BV11 on BO app, but wife is not happy with phone controls:)
I assume new beoremote1 displays with 4 buttons can be matched with old aluminum frames….I am still thk if I should buy a new beoremote 1 or just the display/buttons panel
Have you searched the BV11’s menus for something that allows you to select a noo-navi remote? (as suggested by carolpa)
Also, have you tried to update the TV’s software/firmware using the B&O app?

Have you tried my suggestion about controlling the TV using the B&O app? Your TV will need to be connected to a network for this to work.
If you do manage to connect to a network with internet access, you may be able to download a SW update for your TV that will then allow you to choose a ‘no navi button’ remote control option.

No, all Beo4, Beolink 1000 and Beoremote One can actually control the BV11.
It all depends on how the BV11 is setup. Look in the setup for the option to select the correct type of Beo4.
I too thought that, but found this in a BV11-40 manual:
Note that your Beo4 remote control
must be set to mode 1. For more
information, see the Beo4 online guide.
You cannot use a Beo4 remote control
without navigation button.So perhaps some SW versions did not have the facility to chose remotes with/without navi button.

Is this considered to be the Beo 4 ‘with’ a navi button/joystick?
No, that’s an earlier version.
The navi one is the only Beo4 that you can set to Mode 1, and is on the far right of this picture: (click to enlarge – you can see the ‘joystick’ in place of the GO button of the earlier versions)

Having re-read your first post I think thatyou have an early Beo4 without a navi button (joystick).
As far as I am aware. the BV11 is designed to be used with the Beo4 with navi button only. (Unless there was a sw version that allowed you to go into the settings an chose ‘no navigation button’, as there is in older TVs)
A possible workaround: If your BV11 is connected to your home network you could try using the B&O app to control the tv.

Hi and welcome to Beoworld!
Your photo shows a BV10-40 or 10-46, I am not sure which. Either way, even if you had the correct ‘spider’ piece (labelled 9517 in the diagram) which fits onto the back of the BV10 ready for stand-mounting, the black holder piece at the top of your current stand is too wide to fit into the slot. On the proper stand (see below) the part labelled 9515 is narrower.
Diagram is from the service manual (full manual available on site to Silver/Gold Members): (click to enlarge)
I would look for a second-hand BV10 stand – they do come up on the usual sites very occasionally!

Hi Mike and welcome to Beoworld!
Could you let us all know roughly whereabouts in North America you are looking? It may help to narrow down the location. Thanks!

Great news – have fun controlling your BC9500. Now you can do exciting things like 7-day timer programming, I think!
I will be storing skolesen’s details for when my BL5000 inevitably needs repair.

The TV’s camcorder input will accept composite signals, so the adaptor that you linked to should provide Composite video, Left and Right audio via the yellow, white and red phono/cinch output sockets. The camcorder input should also accept S-video, which should give better picture quality than composite.
But I think (from searching AI) that the Bang & Olufsen BeoVision Avant did also support S-Video signals via its SCART connections. Hence if you want to use SCART and want to use the adaptor to which you linked, you will also need a further S-video to SCART connector. As far as I know, the SCART pins used are an industry standard, but you may need to check which of the TV’s SCART sockets will accept S-video input – from memory I don’t think that they all do.
Hopefully someone else will add more specific advice – I only have distant memories of trying similar with a Beovision 3.

50 – you need Beohelp 😂
I agree – it got a little out of hand once I had a few. I just need a house with lots of rooms, and a second-hand PABX exchange … 😉

Oh YES! I’ve just read your other message! The Serene, of course!
Thank you SO MUCH – you’re absolutely right 🌟
I really appreciate your help. Very best wishes to you 😊
No problem – very happy to help!

You probably posted prior to seeing my second post. THanks for the extra pictures – I think we can safely say that it’s for B&O’s Serene mobile.
Feel free to post for sale in our ‘For Sale’ pages here: https://forum.beoworld.org/forums/forum/beoworld-for-sale-wanted/beoworld-private-sales/
There might be a Serene collector or owner out there on Beoworld! I have about fifty B&O landlines but am forbidden from collecting more phones or accessories!

Further searching to satisfy my own curiousity has come up with this: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/4473492178/bang-olufsen-1114895-earset-1-mobile
Have a look at the 7th picture showing a close up of the connector. If it matches yours then it’s ‘Earset 1 wired for B&O’s Serene mobile’
Serene was a joint venture with Samsung, hence the strange connector.
The funny thing is that I have a broken Serene in a box somewhere – if it was to hand then I probably could have answered a little quicker!
Good luck with the sale!
