An observation I did today was that my BL35000 MK1 would not react to the Menu + 0 + x + GO sequence from my Beo4 with joystick. I don’t know if the press on the Joystick sends a different command than GO on the older Beo4’s. But worth noting if a BL3500 do not react on a Beo4.

In my case I could just find a Beo4 with GO button and complete what I had to do

On a beo4 with joystick you can select ‘mode’.

There are 3 modes.

With your ‘mode’ setting pressing the ‘play’ button instead of the joystick should do the trick.

Yes of course. Thanks for reminding me. I Did not think that far when I was trying to use it, and had the other BEO4 near by.

Good afternoon,

I am trying to play music from my iPhone using my old Beolab 3500 speakers. I purchased a device from Bluetooth Solutions to interphase with my phone. I connected as instructed but the speaker remains dormant. I have tried Red-list, then go to Lopt and press 2 and 6 as those settings have been recommended in this website. Speaker does not respond. I was wondering if you can help me. I am attaching a picture. Thanks.

Hello. I don’t know this bluetooth Solutions product, but can you tell how it is connected to the Beolab 3500? Is it a DIN connector?

If so the MK1 and MK2 versions of the BL3500 has different pin assignments in the connector, so could be a cable issue. Please see one of the first pists in this thread to tell if you havd a MK1 or MK2 BL3500.

Next thing I wonder is if this product is supposed to activate the BL3500? Based on my findings in this thread I would not think so, but interesting if it does.

If it does not have this feature, and the connection is via the DIN connector the only way to activate the BL3500 is to use this key sequence on a BEO4 remote:

For BL3500 MK1: Menu + 0+ 4 + GO

For BL3500 MK12: Menu + Menu + 0+ 4 + GO

Note than when the speaker is activated with this sequence any keypress on the remote control will make it go to stand by. So volume control is done on the bluetooth part of it.

Hope this gets you further. You are welcome to make follow up questions
