GOLD MemberThis 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 🙁

Hopefully this link works
I’m not sure if they ship your way

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.
Stoobie
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.
Stoobie
My brain doesn’t work that way either 🙂
Hopefully someone can assist
Stoobie
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.
Stoobie
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?
Stoobie
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.
Stoobie
Very helpful thanks Yann
BV12 question answered in your other post.
Your BeoSound 3000 and BeoSound 4 are MasterLink (ML) but your BeoSystem 4 is not. It is NetLink (NL). To connect ML to your BeoSystem 4 you need a Beolink Conveter NL/ML. These are fairly expensive but could be a good “investment” for full integration if that is the way you are thinkingof going. All my system is the older ML so I can’t really help with NL.
So my suggestion above using “option 5” is an experiment as I don’t have anything to try it with.
Do you have a Beo4 remote? You can use that to set the option easier than the Beo5.
Stoobie
Once again, sorry my reply is in English.
Normally I would suggest you upgrade your membership to access the manuals on here but there doesn’t seem to be anything for your BS4/BV12.
I couldn’t find anything for you BV12 on B&O site either. There is a manual here that talks about the message you are getting.

Stoobie
I am not sure what to suggest but I saw this when looking at waht options to set each.
Option 5: Where the product responds to its own codes:
Video – ‘TV’, ‘Sat’, ‘Text’, ‘VCR’, DVD’ etc
Audio – ‘Radio’, ‘CD’, ‘Phono’ etc
You might want to try that!
Stoobie
Have you tried pressing the MUTE button on the BM4500?
Stoobie
Hello Mike,
I think I have sent you down the wrong way. I forgot BS4 does not have MasterLink so cannot be connected easily.
I will need to think again.
Stoobie
This link might help with the PowerLink cables.
I’m not sure what the issue is with the CD, but I have a suspicion that it is to do with the fact that the two items are not connected via Master link.
I am not sure how to stop that. You could make the BS3000 only respond to Link commands. You will do that via the Option Settings.
Stoobie
Hello Michael,
Your first problem is that because you have not connected the BS4 and BS3000, you cannot put them in the same zone. It forces you to have 2 zones.
I don’t believe you need to add BV12 because when I try to add it with the BS4 already there, it says “Replace?’.
Your Beo5 connections is a bit more complicated. Beo5 cannot connect to 64bit Windows. Your Windows 10 is likely to to be 64bit. It can be done with a Virtual Machine (VM). I use Virtualbox with WindowsXP 32bit.

Hi, Stoobie. I defininitely don’t have the complete setup – unfortunately. I would have thought setting the sound to – MONO – would have used only the integrated centre speaker though?
I’m sorry, I should have been clearer, I wondered if the sound controls are handled by the missing Master Control Panel AV9000.
However spec on Beoworld shows :-
Daily operation recommended: Beo4
Sound processing: Dolby Surround Sound, Pro-logic decoder Sound modes (sound 1-5) Mono (Centre speaker) It will auto-detect if speakers are added.So maybe Mono will work and there is another issue.
