As far as I know it’s the second to fifth digit. Hence in your example type number is 0952.

There is a Test Mode, but you have to remove the case and short-circuit the CD clamper switch for 2-3 seconds. Pressing 7 then deletes all preset programmes, but I think this just means radio presets rather than timer/clock function.
I would have thought that a dead lithium processor backup battery would cause the unit to reset the clock. As you suggest, try leaving the BS2500 powered down for a time (several hours, in case the battery has some life in it) and then reconnect to mains power, noting the time of start and then waiting to see what is displayed on the BL3500.

Great result – thanks for letting us know that it worked, and enjoy your TV! ?

Which terminals are you using on the TV? If it’s the ones behind the little flap top left then you can activate by pressing CAMERA on the Beo4 remote.
You can add CAMERA to the Beo4’s LIST button by following this procedure:
– Press Power (Red Dot) and LIST together, the display should read ADD?
– Press GO.
– Press LIST until the display shows CAMERA, then GO.
You should now be able to find CAMERA by pressing LIST repeatedly until it shows in the display. Then simply press GO to select the input.

Hi Adam,
Firstly I just amended you post to show the photo in the text rather than as an attached heic file (which some browsers struggle to display!)
Secondly I am 99% sure that you will need a clock-enabled ML (or MCL) audiomaster in order to show the time on BL3500 – a videomaster may also work but I am not sure.
EDIT: I think early BS2500 (with the two-way IR) had the clock function, but to set and operate it you needed to use a two-way remote such as the BL7000 or BL5000. The two-way BS2500 could be recognised by its IR window being bottom left of the unit below the moving glass doors, as shown below:

Hi and welcome to Beoworld!
The BS9000 may be in A.OPT 0, where it will not respond to IR commands.
To resolve this:
Turn to standby/off.
On the Beo4, press the POWER button and LIST together. Then press LIST until OPTION is shown, press GO (centre button), and then press LIST to show A.OPT. Then press 1. The power light on the BS9000 may blink to show that it has been accepted.
Remote control should then work.
EDIT: By the way, A.OPT 0 is automatically selected if no speakers are connected to the BS9000

It doesn’t carry any data or trigger signals
Morning Steve! There have been a couple of posts in the past that suggest limited data through the mini-AV socket. The post here mentions BC2 in particular: https://archivedforum2.beoworld.org/forums/p/8855/78153.aspx#78153
EDIT: Also mosquito’s posts here: https://forum.beoworld.org/forums/topic/beosystem-2300-mit-beovison-11-verbinden/#post-15918

I think the BV11 also has a mini-AV socket, hence you could use one of the following cables (probably ‘D’): (taken from Beolink Handbook v1-9 page 128 – click to expand)

I lost BBC stations from two of my Internet Radios, however, I can still hear Radio 4 on LW through a Dansette radio from the 1960’s and even older valve radios.
Excellent! But sadly the last sentence of this article suggests that you have only another year to enjoy Radio 4 on LW! https://radiotoday.co.uk/2023/05/more-details-announced-regarding-bbc-radio-4-long-wave-switch-off/

My conclusion is that the cable has the speaker points backwards, that is, point three at point 1 and point 5 at point 4.
That sounds to me as if your cable is an output (from the DIN socket) rather than an input. (Pins 1 and 4 are the line output from the BS3200 Aux socket.) Hopefully a new cable and/or help from mexking will resolve the problem.

That looks to me as if you are using an external set top box. If so, the subtitle settings may well be in the menu of that STB.

And their latest reply. Looks like we just have to wait.
Thanks for chasing this and keeping us up to date. Are they looking at BBC streams on both N.RADIO and NetRadio? (You said the latter was working in UK)

Thanks Guy!
No problem – very happy to help and it was useful research for me (and hopefully other Beoworlders!). Next time my BC2300 comes out of storage I will have a much greater understanding of the door control system ?

How do I do that?
Use a multimeter or continuity tester to check for continuity between the tip and ring of the 3.5mm plug and pins 3 and 5 of the DIN plug.
This may help:

I assume that you are using the digital tuner.
On my BV10 I press MENU 2 (for Subtitle Language) and then select subtitles to off.

Hi and welcome to Beoworld!
Check that the lead is sending the L & R audio to DIN pins 3 and 5 respectively. Pin 2 is ground.

Further stream details from my Frontier Nuvola Smart Radio interface:
This shows what my two devices support – the top one being my OneRemote radio that does not work with BBC. Kitchen Radio is Hama IR110.
And this shows the available streams from the BBC (click to enlarge):

I thought iPlayer (definately) and sound needed a link to your licence? Fair-enough.
iPlayer has no direct link to your TV licence – when you log in and start to stream it just asks whether you have a TV Licence and you click ‘yes’. I suppose they could track fairly easily using ip address etc. There is no such question/requirement for BBC Sounds.
Lets dust-off this discussion in a years time and see if it still holds true or not?
?
Can’t imagine it changing before the general election; assuming that they have a say, current govt wouldn’t want to upset all those older voters who rely on radio for company!
I am hopeful that BBC FM will continue until at least 2030, and still be free!

Not really related to N.RADIO or Net Radio (as the thread title) I today thought I’d check whether my OneRemote (International Receiver Company) radio can still receive BBC internet radio. I bought this when I lived overseas to access BBC radio, hence haven’t used it recently because here in UK I can listen to BBC on FM.
Anyway, here’s the outcome:
So clearly the answer is ‘no’. I confirmed this by logging into the Frontier Nuvola Smart Radio interface, which controls the stations that I listen to on both this and my kitchen radio (a Hama IR110). As you can see, the interface knows that one of my devices is incompatible with the listed BBC stations, although the Hama kitchen radio still plays them without problem. (click to enlarge)
Luckily (for when UK FM is switched off) my OneRemote radio has the option to play DAB, albeit the quality is lower compared to the previously available BBC internet stream. I just tested and it works well with full (direct or indirect) Beo4 control.
So yes this BBC stream re-shuffle is causing a few headaches (more than just N.RADIO and NetRadio) but nothing insurmountable so far!

BBC are withdrawing free services.
BBC Sounds (radio) is still free and there are no plans to change that! You do not need a TV Licence to listen to BBC radio (FM or DAB) or BBC Sounds (internet). Increasingly you do need to ‘log in’ to listen, but there is no payment involved.
