      I have not read anything in the (quite minimal) manual of the BeoPlay Connection Hub about an “A.OPT 0” or alike. I presume the fixed volume mode is supposed to act somewhat like that. But I like your idea – teaching the Hub the commands of some old random remote controller, to control it separately, and only when needed, while using the TV-controlled headphone volume output. I will give that a try before sticking black tape to the Hub :-). Keep you posted, regards, Johan

        Update – all is working… …with some hurdles!

        First hurdle – when setting the (older 40″ LED) Samsung to ‘external speakers’, and using an optical Toslink connection, we found an annoyance and a problem: at every volume change request of the remote, the volume gets nicely changed, but on the screen a window opens for some seconds saying something like “You connected external speakers – use the other device to control the volume”. Not great. Furthermore, even when switched to ‘standby’ the Samsung seems to “leak” some optical noise so the Hub (and the Passive) would not turn off after 5 minutes. Also not great.
        Next plan – use 3.5mm minijack stereo cable from the headphone socket. I cycled home for this cable (as the original plan was optical of course), but when I plugged it in, the TV went mad. It would hardly react to remote control input and the IR receiver were blinking like crazy! It received ‘volume down’ commands continuously somehow. I checked if no-one was sitting on a remote or something, reset the tv, took the batteries out of any remote in the house, did all kind of checks, and almost bought another TV! (maybe it was good I was on my bicycle, and postponed that moment). All to find in the end (by my brother who came over for (mental) support) that the Apple TV remote (no batteries you can take out) was just frantically sending signals as it got disconnected from the Apple TV (or whatever). That blocked the TV completely! Some googling confirmed this (some people report volume up only!) and a de/re-pairing fixed the issue. I really was thinking that by plugging in the 3.5mm minijack I messed up the electronics of the TV somehow (electric discharge from the Passive through ground or something). Phew – all was good again.
        When using the headphone out of a TV (so the volume control is with the TV still), you can set the Hub to fix volume by double pressing the “multi” button at the back. The LED then goes red. You might want to play with the volume setting of the TV and the setting of the Hub to find a comfortable ‘range’.
        Some other learning: when you taught the Hub the IR volume (up/down/mute) and you use the headphone out of the TV, make sure that you ‘sync’ the mute statuses of both devices! If not, one of them is in mute alternatively, and you risk having no sound and think there is a much bigger problem :-). I might tape off the Hub IR receiver to avoid this happening.
        Hope this is helpful to a future Hub owner!

          Hello col,

          I had this also unfortunately a while ago, with a BR1 BT. I was sent a new keyboard/display unit from my dealer (within the 36 months warranty period).

            Hi emabonacchi,

            jvezina suggested in his post to set the screen to ‘generic’. Will that open the possibility to choose 1920 x 1020? Be careful indeed. Good idea to take photographs of the screen!

            Regards, Johan

              Also have been checking the Service Menu:

              service menu

              But did not find it there either. Could it be because we don’t have a B&O screen connected?

              Sorry that I cannot help you any further! Johan

                Just tried myself and could not yet find a way to configure to 1920×1080. Will seek some more.

                  Hello and thanks for your reply. I am doing many and many and many trying from months, buto the problem is not solved. It seems i am not able to find the menu tou suggested. In “Options” i press “red arrow” and go, or “0 0 go”, but i really can not find the “screen configuration”. However, after many and many try, i can tell “EDID emulator” is not the solution. And i can tell the problem source seems to be “Playstation 4” connected to “Dvd source”. U did a “giant work” and i am very frustrating because this seems to be a very stupid setting problem able to destroy all mi job……

                  Hi emabonacchi, this is the text from the BS3 service manual:customer service menu

                  It is important that you only place the ‘cursor’ on ‘OPTION’. Don’t press go yet.  ‘OPTION’ only needs to be highlighted, then press the red button and GO. Hope this helps. I will try on my BS3 to reconfirm.

                    Hello mjcallo, welcome. That looks really good! Hope you will get the cassette part working again. If you will not find the stands, you could reproduce them maybe, see for instance: https://archivedforum.beoworld.org/forums/t/41952.aspx for inspiration.

                    Best of luck, Johan

                          Thanks! I did google a bit more for the IR sensor location of the 2 and 3 and found these (for the 1427):

                          1427

                          And for “second and third generation”:

                          This is different from what I made sofar. Some teardown images (of 2nd gen) confirm center location.

                          What do you think?

                            Helli Guy, for my own reference (and hopefully for others now too) I made the below overview. I have various of these black AppleTV boxes (from 3rd gen up to 4K) and remember I was trialling (and erroring) to find the right location to put the IR emitter.

                            Do you think this is about right? Note that the LED status indicators are white dots that I added (and are not necessarily at the right location)

                            ‎220122 apple tv ir location.‎001

                            The dimensions and version numbers I took from the Apple support site.

                            Cheers, Johan

                                Nog een reden om bij Steve te bestellen – gratis instructievideo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRNExNUcrgo – vanaf 4:50.

                                Hij zegt daarin over de verloopstekker: “Just drop a note with your order and I will add a free adapter for you”. Hoe mooi kan het worden?

                                  Dag lumix, de aansluitingen zijn inderdaad niet 3.5mm, maar 6.3mm phono jacks, waarvan de buitenste stereo is “AUX OUT [R]/[L/L+R]”.

                                  Met een eenvoudige verloopstekker als deze (google “6.3mm to 3.5mm stereo plug”):jack-verloopstekker-aantal-per-stuk

                                  Kun je de Soundsheavenly kabel inpluggen. Volumeregeling gaat dan hetzelfde als met je hoofdtelefoon: “You can use the [VOLUME] control on this unit to adjust the output volume from the AUX OUT jacks.”

                                  Steve van Soundsheavenly is de sponsor van deze site, het zou wel leuk zijn als je bij hem bestelt. Steve verzendt naar Nederland.

                                  Je moet wel (aan de onderkant) de input schakelaars van de BeoLabs op ‘LINE’ zetten:

                                  schakelaarline

                                   

                                  De kabels zullen de geluidskwaliteit niet beïnvloeden.

                                  Hoop dat je zo verder kunt! Groet, Johan

                                      Dag Lumix, hoe regel je het volume van de koptelefoon op dit moment? Als je de koptelefoonuitgang gebruikt om de BeoLabs aan te sturen, zou je op dezelfde manier het volume moeten kunnen regelen.

                                      De 6000s hebben een line-in ingang waardoor ze aan gaan als er een geluidssignaal wordt waargenomen.

                                      Soundsheavenly heeft hier een eenvoudige oplossing voor: https://soundsheavenly.com/line-in-connection/77-243-minijack-to-beolab-line-in-using-phono-rca-sockets-one-cable-for-two-speakers.html#/5-length-5m

                                      Laat je weten of dit is wat je bedoelt?

                                        Hi, Michael,

                                        Great to see you (we) are directly in touch with the people that make the stuff we love.

                                        Hoping the NL/ML converter (BLC – aka “swiss army knife”) will get some development attention in the future, there are two things that I can think of.

                                        I run a couple of MasterLink networks connected (and fed) through BLCs (the 4th one arrived this week :-)). The things that I would love (if possible):

                                        • Get visibility and control of BeoSound/BeoMaster 5 on the app screen (cover art, playlist etc)
                                        • Get the possibility to assign the AirPlay source directly to an ML IR command (as is possible with e.g ‘B&O Radio’ and ‘Optical’ (see photo).20240120_103203

                                        Let me know what you think, Regards, Johan

                                          These plugs/cables are used here in Europe (Netherlands), you can plug them in two ways, often on both ends even.
