I hope someone can help. I have a strange behaviour with a Beo4 nav version which I got from ebay. All other Beo4/1000 I have work fine, this one does not:
Masterlink setup with BV7 and BC2500:
- TV/Radio/CD etc. works in the main room (Room 1)
- In the link room (BeoLab 2000) NO response to any key I push (Room 2)
- Beovision 8 works (TV) (Room 3)
- BeoSound Century does NOT work - no response (Radio/CD) (Room 3)
- Beolab 3500 works (is not connected, but shows CD/Radio when I push a button on the remote) (Room 4)
I did a reset of the Beo4 but what am I missing here? Why doesn't it work with the Century or the BL2000? Again, works fine with any old Beo4/BL1000 remotes I have.
Thanks,
Ralf

Great news - thanks for letting us know that it worked.
And I had saved that information from a chap called Roger who posted some 11 years ago! Here's the post:

Hello Guy and Millemissen,
thanks for your quick resonses. Much appreciated. I forgot to mention that the remote was in fact set to MODE 2 and ZONE ALL.
Today I played around more and found out that the BL2000 and the Century still would not respond until I got really close to them. So the BV8, BV7 master, BL3500Mk1 work like with any other Beo4/BL1000 I have.
Only for the Century and BL2000 I have to go really close to operate them. Any idea why? Batteries are new-ish. Any idea how I could to turn a proximity control to a remote control again ;-)
Thanks,
Ralf
On the Navi remote you can adjust the IR power, so that may be the problem.
Access the service menu by pressing stby + LIST at the same time, and then MENU + (joystick) at the same time. Press ^ several times until the display reads IRPWR: X.
1 is the lowest and 7 is the max IR signal strength (default is 4)
(EDIT: It might be LIST instead of ^ (up) - I can't check as my Navi is in a box somewhere!)

You are a genius! That did the trick. It was set to 1 for whatever reason. Thank you so much!!
(EDIT: ^ is correct. We also learned that a Reset does not reset this setting)
