BeoX remote question
16 replies
Hi! I have the MX7000 and the remote that came with it which I believe is Beo 3 maybe? ?
Now, I'm reading a manual for Beo 4 (which has some stuff that my remote, supposedly 3, does not have). The main thing I'd like is the option to MOVE so I can move stuff around under the LIST button. I would for instance always like V TAPE 2 to be first on the LIST button. But as of right now I cannot find any option for this.
My question is: which would be the best remote for my MX7000 with the ability to move the options under the LIST button? Any third party controllers might also be of interest. As of right now I pretty much need VTAPE, VTAPE 2, STAND, V SETUP and SPEAKER + volume up and down.
Thanks in advance. Any help is deeply appreciated ??
Good morning and welcome to Beoworld!
If it has a LIST button then it is almost certainly a Beo4. I don't think that early versions (pre SW 4.4) had the MOVE function. But if it does, here's how to use it:

If it doesn't have the MOVE function, then you could delete all the functions from LIST and then re-add them in the order you require.
If the remote is a 'hotel' version then it may have restricted functionality and not offer many of the functions that you mention. These usually have a slightly different button layout and a separate MUTE button.
If you are not using the TV function, there is a way to use the TV button to select the AV2 SCART input - basically by going to the TV's SETUP then SOCKETS menu and choosing 'Decoder' as the AV2 input. Then go to the TUNING menu, choose TV channel 1 and change the Decoder setting to 'On'. Pressing TV will then choose the AV2 input.

Thanks @Guy for the warm welcome and your help!
I found a reseller of refurbished remotes and with their help I could figure out that I've got the MK1 version.
However, it does not remember the order you add the LIST functions. If I add V. TAPE 2 first and then SPEAKERS, SPEAKERS come up before V. TAPE 2 anyway. I've tried different variations but it just won't work. So I've ordered a refurbished remote that has the MOVE function and we shall see if I can get it to work to my likings. My ambition is to get back here and let anyone interested know on how it went.
Thanks again for all your help :)
Thanks a ton! I will definitively test out the decoder trick and let you know. I can however confirm that adding functions in the reverse order does not work. It lists them alphabetically nomatter in which order I put them in.
Thanks!
Hey again!
I managed to change AV 2 to Decoder. Very easily accessible via the Menu button. But I can't figure out (even with the TVs manual) how to enable decoder?
What I tried was: 1. TV (button on remote), 2. LIST (button on remote), 3. V. SETUP shows on remove - i push Go. 4. TUNE shows on remove i Push Go.
Then I get this:

Not sure if I'm at the right place at all? Can't figure out how to change Dec to on anywho.
Any help is deeply appreciated. Thanks ??
You should be able to get to the tuning menu by using Menu button (on remote) then choose Setup (on TV screen) then choose Tuning (on TV screen). Then you should be able to use the remote arrow to move to the right and change Dec to On.

I think you have an older version of the TV that was actually introduced when the default remote was a Beolink1000 (without a screen). I am guessing a bit here but give this a go:
Firstly I think that you need to add TURN and STORE to the LIST function of the Beo4 remote (using the ADD function of the remote menu I describe earlier).
Then turn the TV on by pressing TV.
Press GO (the cue TUNE appears on the screen).
Use the number pad to key in 0 7 5 (or any random frequency)
Use the Beo4's LIST button to select TURN, and then press GO several times until 'dec on' is shown on the tune screen of the TV.
Use the LIST button to select STORE, and press GO.
Press the number 1 - to store the TV preset as 1.
Use the LIST button to select STORE and press GO again.
