I do have a Beosystem 7000 (master, CD, tape and gram) and a Beo4 remote with navigation buttons. I used to have a setup that also included a Beovision 7-32 trough a Masterlink and all controller fine from the Beo4 remote. I remove the Beovision 7-32 and Masterlink out of the equation due to a malfunction of the TV and now have only the Beosystem 7000 setup. I try to control the Beosystem 7000 with the Beolink 4 but whatever I do, it just does not work. I've reset the Beo4 multiple times, after which I configured it in OPTION > A.OPT > 1 as everybody is recommending but to no avail.
Do I need to program / reconfigure the Beomaster 7000 in some way to enable to receive IR transmissions again? Any help appreciated/.

Beomaster 7000 not responding to Beo4 remote

The BM7000 should be in standby (off) when you carry out the A.OPT 1 procedure - and I think that it should acknowledge the instruction in some way - either a flash of the standby light or a number in the display.
The A.OPT 1 procedure does not change the output of the Beo4 - it re-programmes the Beomaster to accept IR commands.

I have it in standby, but I don't see any acknowledgement from the Beomaster 7000. Could it be I need to point it to the IR receiver more closely, and if so, where is that positioned on the Beomaster 7000. Or could another device (like the Apple TV I do have) capture the IR signal before it reaches the Beomaster 7000?
Can you also confirm that your Beo4 has the little navi button in the centre of the arrow keys? Is it the one on the far right in the picture below?

I would be very coincidental if the Beo4 just gave up emitting IR signals at the same time I removed the TV out of my installation. How do I exactly check Beo4 remote working with an iPhone selfie camera?
And yes, I do have the most right Beo4 remote with the little knob instead of the GO button.
I can't see anything lighting up from the Beo4 with little navi button (maybe it's to faint?).
I do have another Beo4 however, the middle one in your picture, where I see faint red light appear when pressing buttons. However, trying A.OPTION > 1 with that one on the Beomaster 7000 still doesn't do anything.
