When in A.Opt 4, does all command need “Link” pressed before or do some commands like Volume and Mute work as usual?
All commands will need LINK first.
A thought: You could perhaps connect a Beolink Active by ML to the BS9000 (in the same room). Speakers also connected to Active.
BS9000 in A.OPT 0.
BL Active in L.OPT 4.
And the PM could be connected either to the BS9000 AUX (LINK then A.AUX), or to the Active’s PC input as a local source (L-PC).

Maybe put the Playmaker in A.OPT 4 and use a second Beo4 remote in permanent LINK mode. Far from ideal, but I am struggling to think of another solution!

If you want Beo4 control of (for example) B&O Netradio from linkrooms (i.e selecting radio presets) then you could add the NL/ML converter, but perhaps get the Essence Mk2 first and then experiment with how you make use of it – see if you are happy to control primarily with a smartphone and the B&O app.
Both Essence Mk2 and NL/ML Converter can be found relatively cheap on UK eBay. I paid £129 for my Essence and £102 for the converter.

Hi and welcome to Beoworld!
I don’t have experience of BV6-22 but have connected hdmi devices to both BV6-26 and BV6-23 in the past, making use of the DVI-D input.
Have a read of my experiences of various hdmi audio extractors here: https://forum.beoworld.org/forums/topic/hdmi-connection-for-beovision-7-mk1/#post-33294
I have had most success with this device: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Adapter-HDMI2HDMI-Converter-Extractor-Splitter-White/dp/B079251VBJ
… and then an hdmi to dvi lead to connect to the TV’s DVI socket, plus a 3.5mm plug to 2 x phono lead to connect to the Beovision’s PC audio input sockets.
EDIT: You then select the DVI/PC input by pressing PC on the Beo4 (you may need to add this to the LIST function). If you have a Beolink 1000 remote then select PC by pressing SHIFT then STORE.

First, I dont know which option is that.
A.OPT 4 for the BS9000.
But I am not sure why the option setting wouldn’t work! Dummy plug continuity?
EDIT: But maybe early SW versions of BS9000 don’t accept A.OPT 4.

When batteries are replaced in the BL5000 it defaults to two-way IR mode. If the two-way functionality in the remote is faulty ( usually due to faulty capacitors) then it will display ‘no contact’.
If you follow the instructions in the BL5000 manual to put it into one-way mode then it should still work to control the BC9500, but you will not be able to carry out advanced programming such as clearing timers.
Location: Warwickshire, UKMy B&O Icons:
I think that you might have to press GO or PLAY after the 1 2 7 1, and then unplug the system for a bit.
Location: Warwickshire, UKMy B&O Icons:
But to add to the above, if displaying CODE then the backup battery is failing (or has failed) and any timers may we’ll have been cleared anyway.
Did you try that code reset 1271 procedure?

Thanks again Guy did the 1000 remote come with a unit as standard? would it control a beosound 9000 i wonder? as ive been asked but have no idea. and is it easy to factory reset the 9500? very grateful for your advice.
The BL1000 was the standard ‘workhorse’ remote for many years and was supplied with many B&O systems. It will control the BS9000.
The BL5000 was offered with systems that allowed two-way remote control, such as BC9500.
if fully working and set in two-way mode, you should be able to use the BL5000 to remove any timers set on the BC9500.
It would be worth having a good read of the BC9500 and BL1000 user manuals.
I am away from home at the moment so can advise about BC9500 reset tomorrow, but if you have the service manual it explains how to enter test mode by shorting two pins under the lower panel.
Location: Warwickshire, UKMy B&O Icons:
The BL1000 should be fine for controlling the BC9500 also. You can check that a remote is transmitting by viewing the end with an iPhone selfie camera.
If the BC9500 displays CODE, you should then use the BL1000 to press 1271 and then disconnect the Beoxenter from the mains for a minute. A frequent display of code suggests that the microprocessors backup battery needs replacing.

Hi I have the same issue with a beocenter 9500 and a 5000 Remote control. No response when using the remote. Whether the speakers are connected or not. Regards Darren
If the BeoLink 5000 remote is working you should be able to set the BC9500 to A.OPT1 by using the remote to press SOUND 1 STORE (where the store button is on the rear).
EDIT: You should do this whilst the BC9500 is at stand-by (powered down but connected to mains).

Great news – and a Merry Christmas to you and yours too! 🎄🎅🤶

One other thing that you could try is a reset of the handset – this has been known to solve registration problems.
Take a note of any saved phonebook numbers first!
On the handset, press 9 # 9 # 9 * INT
… and then scroll down to ‘reset handset’ and press OK.
Then try pairing again.

Have a search (either google or the forum) for ‘speaker refoaming’ or more specifically ‘Beolab 3500 speaker refoaming’.
There are also replacement drivers on UK eBay, both second hand and ‘new old stock’, but both appear to be quite expensive.

I have successfully used UK PSTNs in Denmark and Danish PSTNs in UK. The only problem that I have experienced is that caller display does not work when using Danish PSTN in UK. The Beocom should be able to pair.
What model of PSTN is it? The newer (mars bar size) PSTN is only open for pairing for 5 minutes after connection to the mains. Older PSTN models require a button press to open the base for pairing.
If the base already has the maximum number of phones registered, you would need to use a previously registered phone to delete some of those phones – this may be a problem is the base is second hand!

I don’t yet have VOIP, but I just checked my Beoline base and note that its RJ11 connector only has two-wires connected (to pins 3&4) . In my case these go via an adaptor to pins 2 and 5 of the BT master socket.
Given that the RJ11 connector on B&O basestations only has two wires connected, I don’t see how a ‘4 wire adapter’ will help. As far as I can see the only other connection variation is to ‘reverse’ pins 3 and 4.
Have you tried the VOIP adaptor and base station without the BeoCom 1401 connected?
I assume that you have googled the problem but have you seen the following ‘AI Overview’ suggestion?

If a Cisco SPA112 is dropping incoming calls, you can try changing the waveform type:
Log in to the Phone Adapter Configuration Utility
Select Voice then Regional
In the Ring and Call Waiting Tone Spec area, select an option from the Ring Voltage drop-down list
In the Ring Waveform field, change the waveform type

You’ve done lots of good work on the BC9500 already so hopefully we can help!
Looking at the service manual (specifically the circuit diagram for the lower panel) I can see no logical failure that would give the symptoms that you describe on the pdf.
I see that you state that the battery reads 3V, but I would look at replacing it anyway. Failing that, maybe try disconnecting/reconnecting the battery and then carry out the procedure for resetting the BeoCenter when it shows CODE on the display, as follows:
- Fix the battery or RAM and then:
- Using a Beolink 1000 press:1271
- After 3 seconds, disconnect the 9500 from the mains and then reconnect.

Great news – thanks for letting us know the outcome, and enjoy the search for your own Century! 😀

Does para 6 and 7 of this help – looks similar!

Bonsoir Merci beaucoup pour votre réponse et les schémas. 👍🏻 Je vais trouver une autre solution. Penser vous qu’un branchement avec des boitiers CPL fonctionne ? BS9000—POWERLINK RJ 45— CPL BL6000—POWERLINK RJ45—CPL Merci
I think that ‘boiter CPL fonctionne’ are what we know in UK as ‘network powerline adaptors’.
If so, then these will not work. Powerline adaptors are for sending ‘digital data’ (computer network) over the mains power sockets. Powerlink is an ‘analogue’ signal, hence cannot be transmitted over network powerline adaptors.
