You are able to do this yourself if you download the Configuration Tool. Here is a link that will help.

Config Tools

It is a bit of a steep leaning curve and be aware that you cannot save the configuration that is currently on the remote. But once you get the hang of it, you can make the Beo5/6 a very useful tool. Research as much as you can before you start and make sure the remote is FULLY charged before trying to program it. The charger base does not charge fast enough when connected by USB to the computer so do not rely on that when programming. Connect to the wall charger in between each download to the remote.

I can confirm with a correctly set-up BLW1 that a Beolab 2000 works (Both with a Beo4 remote using the built in IR eye and local buttons). I have added a handle and permanently connected the BLW1 to the speaker, with a very short ML cable, to make it a bit more portable. I’m listening to it in my study at the moment. It is fairly stable until we use a microwave or the wireless printer which is hardly ever!

I have 1 set to transmitter and 3 receivers. One for the BL2000 (Masterlink – portable), 1 for a set of BL3’s (Kitchen) and one for a set of BL12-3’s (Sun Room) both PowerLink. They all work really well.

I bought my first pair of BLW1’s new, then bought 2 separate used ones later and they did not work with each other or my original two, so I asked my dealer to update them all to the latest software. That was probably about 2015.

Good luck

I needed to know this to fit my BS9000 below my TV.

It is 32.5cm – Just a little less than the dimensions on Matador’s post.

I think this is the part Carol is having difficulty with from the user manual :-

If you have a B&O product with 20 fixed FM channels, each channel must be set to 90.0 MHz. Consult the B&O manual for help setting the FM channel at 90.0 MHz.

It only needs to be done once and is a tedious process, but necessary. If you have a B&O product with 99 fixed channels and want to use 99 Internet channels, it is a difficult process, but it only has to be done once inconnection with setup. We’re sorry, but that’s the setup.

It seems the product uses the 90.0MHz to “broadcast” to the B&O radio.

I was wondering if you could  use some of that inkjet printable water slide decal paper to print the red lettering on to the straps. The decal paper you can use to make transfers for models. Available on the usual online sites.

Does your TV not have this connection panel top, center on the back? You press it to open.

This is news to me. Some Beo4s can do this and some cant? I performed the region change on a DVD2 a few years ago with the Beo4 that I was just using at the time on a daily basis. I suppose the good news here is that I still have this Beo4 (I think!).

You don’t need the “special remote” to make the DVD2 region free. That is done with a standard Beo4 so maybe your remote is not the “special” one 🙁

Search the forum. This has been discussed very recently on here. ?

Matador, you inspired me to design new buttons and screens when you posted pictures of your screens in one of the old forums. I love my Beo5s and Beo6s.

It is a pity you cannot get yours to work properly.

With the Beocom 6000 there is an A and V button that you press before using the wheel to change the volume.

I did notice how the dealer was careful to distract viewers from the delay on the screen. But why? No other remote was doing it at the time anyway, so no one was faster.

My fat sausage fingers would be a problem with those small keys. You could probably make them bigger in the configuration tool but that would mean spreading them over more screens, so you’ll need to consider if that is better for you.

My brain doesn’t work that way either 🙂

Hopefully someone can assist

If you go to the BeoWorld main website and look at the top right you will see a link to Beotech. There are loads of wiring diagrams on there that may assist.

Take a look at the video in this link, it doesn’t look like the remote updates very quickly. Is that the same issue as yours?

Your Beo6 has the latest firmware/software and the configuration tool is the latest too. Great that you have it working.

Sorry but I can’t help with the slow connection.

It is VERY important to make sure the Beo6 is fully charged between downloads. The charger is too slow to charge properly so connect back to the mains charger after each download and don’t leave it connected to the USB on the computer for any length of time. If the Beo6 battery dies during a download, it can be very difficult to get it working again.
