Connecting an Essence remote with Beosound 5 Encore

4 replies
Has anyone tried to connect an Essence remote with a BeoSound 5 Encore system?  
The BS Encore is an ir-controlled products. Be sure that the Essence remote supports ir modes (the first versions did not). Then switch it to ir mode - see here: https://support.bang-olufsen.com/hc/en-us/articles/360045073252-How-do-I-set-up-Beosound-Essence-Remote-for-use-with-Beosound-Moment- Maybe this can help: A7F186BC-5922-45FC-9934-437B122AB9FB This is all I can find right now - maybe another member knows more.   MM

Seems that not all can see the pic/screenshot, that I postet previously. Tried to convert (from png) to jpg - maybe that is better. MM

Thank you so much for your reply. Do you know how to stand out the first versions of the remote with the later versions? Is there any specific characteristic that you can see by looking at the remote to understand the different version?
