Beo5 Configuration Tool

20 replies
Hi, I'm trying to find Beo5 Configuration Tool but with no luck so far - where can I get it? I have Beo5 and it lacks LIGHT key, so I'm unable to control my LC2's. Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks :) I tried both on Windows XP/Windows 7 and the only thing that does not work is Beo5 driver - Configuration Tool doesn't see Beo5, Windows (7, in XP there is no Beo5 device at all) says, that "device has a problem", but I don't see anything helpful in the logs :( So I'm able to create configuration, but I can't push it to Beo5 :( Are there any specific driver settings? I tried Windows 7 64-bit  and XP 32 bit on physical computers and Windows XP 32-bit in vmware virtual machine. Beo5 remote device shows up only in Windows 7....

This might help. You have to use the correct config tool depending on the firmware in your Beo5

thx, well, both of my Beo5's have firmware 1.45b and I've used CT 6.84 version on 32-bit Windows XP - didn't worked :( Best regards, Adam

Hi again, almost everything works, but I have problem with two things:
  1. Tape (tried A.MEM TP1 command also with PLAY - does not work)
  2. DTV - when I use 1611 converter with iPad connected to it and BeoLab3500 on Masterlink I have to press AV and then SAT on my Beo4 remote to activate it. BeoLab displays DTV and I'm able to hear the sound - what command from Beo5 will do the same? Tried A_SAT, DTV, V_SAT and it didin't worked... I guess it should be sequence of two commands like on Beo4, but what is the comand for AV and SAT from Beo4?
Best regards, Adam

What device are you trying to control with the A.MEM command?
BeoSound2500 Tape. CD, Radio and AUX works without any problems...

If you put the BL3500 in L.OPT 6 there should be no need to press AV first and you should be able to select your iPad using any video command (TV, SAT, DTV, DVD etc). This assumes that your iPad is connected to AAL input pins 3 and 5.
Thx - that's it :) I assumed that my BeoLab 3500 WAS in Option 6, but it turned out it wasn't. After activating Option 6 now iPad is seen as TV - by the way, is there any way to change this name? And what if I want to listen to iPad through Beosound 2500? My setup is a little bit messy now, because I'm new to B&O Masterlink. I have three zones: - zone 1 with Beosound 2500 connected to Masterlink via BeoLink Converter 1611 (the newer one with Audiomaster function), BeoLab 4500 speakers connected to this BeoSound 2500 and iMac G4, which I'm trying to connect to Masterlink via BeoPort
- zone 2 with BeoLab 2000
- zone 3 with BeoLab 3500 and iPad connected to Masterlink via BeoLink Converter 1611 (the older one)
Right now I'm able to listen:
- zone 1: Beosound (all sources + bluetooth + 3rd party TV via A.Aux, no sound from iMac)
- zone 2: Besosund 2500 (all sources), iPad from zone 3
- zone 3: Beosound 2500 (all sources), iPad, didn't try iMac yet (not enough Masterlink cables so far :) )
Will it be possible to listen to iPad from zone 3 on BeoSound in zone 1? Which source should it be? It can't be TV (like in zone 3 on BL3500) because choosing TV on BS2500 uses A.Aux. Is it possible to listen to a source from masterlink on BS2500 connected to masterlink via 1611?? Like this:  source -> ML -> 1611 -> BS2500 -> BL4500? Or is it only one way BS2500 -> 1611 -> ML -> any ML Speaker ?
Best regards
