Hi Everyone,
I recently acquired a Beomaster 7000, a Beogram 7000 turntable, and two Beomaster 1000 remotes. The system has not been used for a number of years because none of the original remotes were working any longer, and that includes a Beolink 7000 remote which I don't have. The units do power on, and I can hear radio static when speakers are connected (it appears to be stuck on the radio setting)
My questions are: 1) Can the Beomaster 1000 remotes be programmed to control the 7000 equipment on their own, assuming they still work or can be repaired; and b) can a replacement remote that is guaranteed to be working be programmed to control the hardware?
Any feedback is much appreciated.
Best regards, Dan

Beomaster 7000 Not Responding to Remote
6 replies
Hi Dan and welcome to Beoworld!
The BL1000 remote should be fine to operate the basic functions of the BM7000. (Non B&O replacements are unlikely to work because B&O use a different IR frequency to most).
You can check if a remote is working by viewing the transmitting end with an iPhone selfie camera - you should be able to see the IR emitters glowing when a function is pressed.
If/when the remote is working, there is still a chance that the Beomaster is set to A.OPT 0, where it will not respond to IR commands. To resolve this, with the Beomaster at stand-by, press SOUND then 1 then STORE on the BL1000 remote. The Beomaster should then receive and respond to IR commands.
So in summary, fix or replace a BL1000 remote and then take it from there ...
The system you have is well worth fixing, so come back and ask if you have further questions 😀

Guy, thank you for responding - I was able to clean the corroded battery contacts on my BL1000 and now it works! Thanks for the advice....In a related question, do you know how to switch between AM and FM radio using the remote? Best regards, Dan
Try SHIFT then SOUND
