Hello Tanel, I think they look nice!
In my view B&O (speaker) stands often are very elegant and well built. Yours now look like a mix with BeoLab 4000 stands 🙂.

Glad you got some life into it! The app will work.

Hello Giorgione, frustrating!
Yes the cable should be OK (trusting your Core is a Mk2, the IR eye is good, the cable is not damaged, you ensured there is a good electrical connection in the screw sockets, your remote is not in ‘link mode’ etc.).
I read in some older threads that there is LED response normally, for instance from volume change: “I can press it turn volume up and down, but no command on beo 4 or beo 1. Maybe something in the settings? It does blink when using the remote but nothing happens?” https://archivedforum2.beoworld.org/forums/t/26336.aspx?PageIndex=1
Not sure how I could help you more now. Let us know how you go, this should work.

Hello Giorgione,
Wiring T568B (more common) uses Orange/White (Pin 1), Orange (Pin 2), Green/White (Pin 3), Blue (Pin 4), Blue/White (Pin 5), Green (Pin 6), Brown/White (Pin 7), Brown (Pin 8). That should be fine.You will have to add commands to LIST yourself (JOIN, A.AUX), see this note: https://support.bang-olufsen.com/hc/en-us/articles/360041742571-How-do-I-activate-sources-using-BeoRemote-One-or-Beo4.
Did you try RADIO already (button available on your remote)? To see if the Core reacts to the Beo4? Assuming you programmed radiostations to the Core.

Hi Giorgione, nice!
You can cut the end of a normal RJ45 patch cable, see also the note to ‘extend’ the cable. You only need to puzzle the correct wire colors.
Good luck, let us know!

Hi Ryan, check this thread about the trigger signal on the right pin: https://forum.beoworld.org/forums/topic/beoplay-connection-hub-beolink-passive/
Could that be your issue?

Hello Roberto63, BL8000s are timeless classics in my view! Did you read this? https://beocentral.com/beolab8000speaker
There are multiple threads in the (old) forum(s): https://archivedforum2.beoworld.org/forums/t/775.aspx. Best is to get a pair with the non-deteriorating white foam and that is good looking, most likely you will need to replace the fabric. Guess what, there are threads on that too :-).

Hi MM – good idea! Or change the wife? 🤔
Could a dealer (still) make a dedicated BR1 PUC? That could be a hard way to get there too (however still toggling between BV6 & Core).
I like the BV11 route better I guess :-).

Hello Giorgione,
Yeah, to toggle the remote all the time is not ideal.
My remark for the BeoSystem 3 was more to determine where the issue is: I think that the BR1 (and also the Beo4 ‘navi’) use somewhat different IR signals (than a regular Beo4), for the left/right/up/down/confirm commands. And so your PUC does not recognize them.
How do you listen to the Core? A potential solution could be to connect the speakers to the BV6, use a BLC (NL/ML converter) between the Core and the BV6, and control your Core (and sources) with your good old Beo4 (given your BV6 has a surround sound option). No toggling whatsoever.

Update – out of curiosity I paired the BR1 with the AppleTV and can easily control it. The downside is that for volume control etc you will need to toggle (between BV6 and AppleTV).

Happy New Year Giorgione!
I use a BR1 (BT) in IR mode with a BeoSystem 3/PUC/AppleTV and that works allright.
I tested your ‘case’ with my BV7-32 and confirm the BR1 does not control the AppleTV through PUC.
In the BeoSystem 3 there is this option to set the TV: “You must set up your television to be operated with a remote control with or without a navigation button.” The 7-32 does not have that option, I expect the problem to lie there (but do not have a solution right now).
Can you pair the BR1 with the AppleTV via Bluetooth? I believe there are some Beoworld threads for this.

Hello ralph,
My beloved CD7000 has been in the care- and skillful hands of forum member Beobuddy some years ago. I highly recommend.
He is in Utrecht, Netherlands.
Maybe an option for you?

Hi Bill, same here, no go. I did once ask B&O, they said: ‘As for the MAC mini, please be informed that the app is supported on phones/tablets but not on the desktop. ‘.

Hello dueno,
BL9s sound really well and can be found for good prices now. But you must like their appearance too 🤔.

Hi, I think the app is getting better and better, still it is not perfect:
Today I informed the customer service that the player is having some difficulty with the ‘random/shuffle’ functionality. This is sometimes switched on by default, and sometimes appears to be off, but still plays in random mode with no way to to switch that off.
I like to play music through the app (because of my crave for a full B&O experience :-)) so will keep on informing them about what I experience.
