Go here for a fix that might get the non working remotes to work.

I gave away a BV5 and then helped the friend I gave it to, to upgrade the screen to a 43inch 4k LG screen. It was fairly simple and took the two of us about 3 hours. Full BV5 sound and 4k picture.

Inspired by this thread.

The only issue was it needs the Beo4 and Virgin Box remote for control. But they used both before the upgrade, so were very happy. You could achieve the single remote solution with a Beo4 and Lintronic Box, or a Beo5 /Beo6

Had I seen that thread before I gave the TV away, I probably would have kept it and done it for myself.

Thanks Matador,

That is just what I need. Any thoughts on the adjustment with a screwdriver?

How about using one of these and plugging into a scart socket. The scarts are usually easier to set up and control. That assumes you have a free scart input.

From the Beo6 user guide :-

When you use Beo6 for 2-way communication with BeoSound 5, you must look up the IP address on BeoSound 5 first. Then enter the (new) BS5 IP address.

Find the IP address on BeoSound 5 by entering the NETWORK INFO menu on the BS5 and look up IP ADDRESS. The address could, for example, be 192.168.100.111.

Go to the Beo6
> Select Wireless in the Setup menu.
> Press Server IP on Beo6.
> Enter the IP address in the display and press GO

Depending on your setup, the IP Address of the BS5 can be changed periodically  by the router. You can go into most routers and make an IP Adress fixed so it alway remains the same. Probaly they best solution for thiis setup.

We might need a few more answers fisrt.

1. Does the system work using the onboard controls? (most important detail)
2. Initially the only button it will react to on the remote, is when you press CD to turn it on.
3. Have you tried looking through a phone camera to see if the remote is sending out IR. Press CD on the remote and you should see the two IR emmitters on the remote glow/flash (I’m told that if using an iPhone look through the selfie cam).
4. What speakers do you have connected? I assume they are not B&O Beolab Speakers. You only need the Dummy Plug if NOT using Beolab Speakers. There are two powerlink sockets (as marked). The third socket you see is an AUX input.
5. 
6. If you have non B&O speakers connected, how is that being achieved with your speakers? The BS9000 cannot power non B&O speakers so do you have a separate Amp connected?
7. Option Programming may be what the issue is. You need the system in standby when you set the options. I believe that it should be set as A-OPT 1 if you are using the dummy plug.
8. You are correct that people have had issues with the IR eye failing. Ther are a few posts on the Archive Forum 2012-2022 if you do a search there.

Hopefully your answers will assist us to help you. Good luck

I made up a couple of portable Wireless Beolab 2000s usinl Beolink Wireless 1’s. You just need a power socket.

Scroll down in the article for a link to the pics. They work really well with my system but are bought inside when done with and as they have the built in IR eye they are an easy “all in one” solution.

You could look at a couple of Beolink Passives (one fitted inside near each balcony) feeding out to specialised  outdoor speakers with an IR eye in the weatherproof mount. They will be controllable via the eye and work the same as a BL2000.
