Further to the above, there is the ability to check the SW level of the BS3000 using Test Mode. It’s all explained in the service manual, available to Silver and Gold members.
You can upgrade the SW of BS3000 to sw3.4 by purchasing a new processor chip here: https://shop.oneremote.dk/shop/69110-parts-for-bo/4074-firmware-bs30003200-v34/
Their description would suggest that one of the later updates was to include A.OPT 5 and 6.
To be safe, it could be worth checking that the upgrade works on all BS3000s, including the Mk1.
(I haven’t purchased the sw upgrade so can’t vouch specifically, but I have bought other products from them that have worked well)
My experience is exactly as matador’s above. I always try to clean/replace/retighten the zebra strip, and clean the PCB where it connects. I have also tried a new zebra strip with the old screen, which didn’t work (same lines missing), whereas a new screen with the old zebra strip did work.
I have probably replaced about 10 screens.
You’d have to remove both the bridges (i.e below each 120V label) and replace across the 240V.
If you consider that the transformer winding terminals are numbered 1 to 8 from the left, then for a 240V supply you need 1 to be connected to 5 (hence the bridge), with the input supply connected to 4 and 8.
(That’s from the service manual – avail to Silver and Gold Members!)
If you know someone who has a Beocom 5 (or even a BC6000 Mk2) it could be worth trying to reset the base with their phone. It could be worth buying a second hand BC6000 Mk2 – in my experience they are better phones than the Mk1.
Also worth asking a B&O dealer for a quote – if they still have their Beocom test equipment it shouldn’t take long to re-flash the SW of the Phone and/or Base.
Also, reading back through the thread I don’t think we actually tried a reset of the Beocom 5 itself. I understand that can also be done using the 9#9#9*INT sequence, as discussed here: https://archivedforum.beoworld.org/forums/t/35637.aspx
+1 for the rubber belt – I replaced it on mine and it solved the problem.
You can get the correct belt here: https://www.beoparts-shop.com/product/belt-for-beomaster-6000-ouverture/
You could also try a little silicon lubricant in the runners (apply with q-tip) but to be honest all you are doing is making the belt’s job easier.
The only external box that I am currently using is Apple TV. I have previously used Humax boxes, both Freesat and Freeview, but most modern TVs have DVB-T2 built in so I’d only need something if I wished to record.
Here in UK the popular subscription services often have STBs, such as SkyQ, Virgin Media TiVO, BT YouView. I don’t use any of these so I am not even sure if they all have IR remotes.
There may be people with BluRay players that would want these included.
If new STBs could be downloaded (like the later B&O downloadable PUC tables) I would image that users would find this very useful
3 August 2022 at 11:53 in reply to: Beo4 and Beolink 1000 Remote Shortcuts and Equivalent Button Presses #35842Anyway, maybe a little out of topic do you know how to trigger A.AUX from the 5000?
Does SHIFT RADIO not work (same as BL1000)? My BL5000 is in a box so I can’t check it!
Rudi,
Another question: Any plans to add PUC control for STBs? Perhaps this could just be a software update as the hardware (IR receivers/transmitters) is already present.
I think that’s a good decision in the circumstances. You may wish to send him a link to this thread so he can see that you have exhausted all known options!
Thanks Steve – that all makes sense!
To be honest I am a big fan of ‘one button press for a source’, hence why I like using B&O IR remotes. I am not sure that I could be fussed with scrolling through menus across the X and Y axis like in the Halo! (Not surprisingly, I also dislike using a mobile phone to operate an AV system ?).
I presume that the BC6000 was originally connected to another base that you own, known to it as ‘Base 1’ (with your phonebook stored).
If this is the case, your phone still has registration to ‘Base 1’ stored – even though it is currently connected to a different base (Beoline 2) to make calls. Perhaps the BC6000 can only reset the first base that it is connected to, and this is not currently the Beoline.
You could try resetting the BC6000 handset: Dot 7 000 9 OK.
Then re-register the BC6000 to the Beoline 2 and try the Dot 7 000 8 OK trick to reset the Beoline 2.
However, I do know that there are software incompatibilities between older handsets and newer bases, so perhaps you simply cannot reset a Beoline 2 from a Mk1 BC6000.
I can’t think of any other suggestions, apart from disconnecting everything (perhaps even removing phone batteries), leaving it overnight and trying again tomorrow. Beocom/Beoline registration can be quite temperamental and sometimes it takes a bit of patience and luck!
I forgot to say that after pressing Dot 7 000 8 you should press OK (centre of wheel).
Does that make any difference?
Unfortunately I only have Beocom 6000 Mk1 so no INT button.
To reset the base from a connected BC6000 Mk1, press Dot then 7 000 8
(‘Dot’ is the button to the left of the wheel between A and V)
Many thanks for that further information Rudi.
I am not in the market for a new TV at the moment, but once my BV10-32 fails (or I want something bigger) I’ll certainly consider a 2nd hand BV7 stand, Beolab and the BM7 adaptor.
To be honest the stand turning function is the main reason that I have not already switched to a non-B&O TV. And the sound quality, and the Beo4 … ?
Great video thanks Steve!
You mentioned being able to use the trusty BL1000 to control the lights. Does anything else in the house respond to IR?
Unless at A.OPT 0, I assume that the BM/BG6500 can be controlled by IR, but only once it has been selected as a source via the MCL/ML link mentioned above. Does FM radio work? ?
Hi and welcome to Beoworld!
Maybe try resetting the base using the connected Beocom 6000. Perhaps it has too many phones registered to it.
Assuming the Beocom 6000 is a Mk2 (with an INT button) enter the sequence 9#9#9* and press INT. Use the scroll wheel and choose reset base.
EDIT: I think you can also reset the Beocom 5 using the same 9#9#9*INT sequence.
This looks very interesting – I have just read through all the details on the site including the installation instructions.
I have one question: How does the BM7 adapter control the TV? Having itself received 455 kHz IR commands from the B&O remote, does the adapter then transmit a new 38kHz IR signal to control the TV?
Furthermore, if as you suggest the adapter box is sited behind the TV (for aesthetic reasons), are there any problems with a typical TV receiving the 38kHz IR signal?
Great news – I am still a bit confused about the TV’s SW version (your screenshots didn’t seem right for a Beo4 model) but good news that you got it working!!
Would that help you?
A copy of the Tuning page would be very useful thanks, especially if it explains how to turn Dec Off to Dec On. I assume that it says to use the TURN button?? I just realised that the early BL1000s (pre-LIGHT button) had a stand alone TURN button so there was no need to use SHIFT PICTURE or SHIFT SOUND.
