Beo5

17 replies
Guten Morgen zusammen, ich benutze zur Zeit eine Beo4, würde jedoch gern meine Beo5 aktivieren,jedoch diese spricht leider nicht mit dem Beovision 7 und auch nicht mit dem BeoSound5 / Beomaster. Weiss jemand Rat wo ich das Zauberknöpfchen finde um die Beo5 so einzustellen damit mein Fernseher und Musikbox angesteuert werden? Gruss Andreas
Please excuse me replying in English. You will need to program the Beo5 using the Configuration Tool on a computer. On the Beo5/Beo6 forum there are some posts that have links to download it. Good luck Stoobie

Hi Stoobie, thanks to the feedback. The software I have already installed, this also functions partially. I can transfer some changes to the Beo5. However, there remain some questions when launching the software: The server cannot be found! Please select "work offline" and try again.??? Which server cannot be found??? When I work offline, I can set some new settings and transfer them to the Beo5. However, I miss the option N.Music, N.Radio and SAT. How can I tell the Beo5 to work with the Beosound and BeoVision? Greeting Andreas
Hi Andreas, With the configuration tool (CT), you must always choose "work offline". The server is the B&O server that dealers connect to, to save the configurations they make. This is not available to the public this is why it is not found. Are you confident with the CT? I can tell you how to use it from step 1. I will open my configuration tool this evening and take a look to see if I can assist with your N.Music and other issues. It would help to know how your BV7 and BS5 are connected. You have to be very precise when setting up the Beo5. The software needs to know how they are connected. It will ask if they are in the same room? What speakers are connected and are they connected to BV7 or to BS5? What peripherals are connected to TV (AppleTV or Sat Tuner etc) are they controlled by PUC? What inputs are they connected to? It will also help me if I know what buttons on your Beo4 you use currently. It is all very confusing to begin with, but does make sense eventually. Stoobie

Good evening Stoobie, ok with the "work offline" I was already on the right way. I'm still practicing with everything else. BV7 with satellite tuner, DVD, and soundbar type 6210??? is not related to Beosound5 and Beomaster5 with CD player and Beolab 8000. The devices stand together in the same room Beo4: controls Light: LC2 controls SAT: Beovision 7 with DVD and soundbar controls N.Radio & N.Music & CD Player: Beosound 5 and CD Player Beomaster 5 incl. Beolab8000 Thank you very much in advance Gruss Andreas  
I am sorry Andreas, I can't help with BS/BM5. I think if you search on Archive Forum 2012-2022 (Link at top of forum) someone may help. This link seems to deal with your issue Link Stoobie

Hi Andreas, I have tried your setup on my configuration tool (CT), I attach a PDF of each step. Good luck Stoobie (added PDF twice in error - both are the same)

Thanks for making it so great. Since I am at home at the moment, I will immediately sit apart with it. I have another question, or maybe you know who can help me. The question would be why does the BS5 or BM5 not show me from every saved CD or just played the cover? If it is retrieved via online it should work because the radio also runs flawlessly and without interference! Greeting Andreas
good morning thanks to your description, I have already come a long way. The TV reacts very well, only the BS5 with Master does not run. The transmission power of the remote control is also poor, I have to be directly on the TV so that I can operate the TV. will change the Beosound settings again. Thank you greeting Andreas

I wonder if your Beo5 might be in "Dealer Mode" which reduces the IR range. I will give instructions how to check
