For info, I found a photo to show my BV10-32’s DVB-HD module number and details:
I assume that your remote is like the left hand one in this photo, with an AV button in the middle of the second row of buttons. If so, we tend to call it the ‘AV version’ and this will not allow PC to be added to the LIST button. You cannot update the software, but theoretically you could replace the motherboard and buttons to change it into a newer version that allows you to add the PC version to LIST. This is unlikely to be cost effective, hence I would simply look for a newer remote (any of the others pictured) or find an older Beolink1000 (BL1000) which will allow you to access PC by pressing SHIFT then STORE.
On UK eBay, newer Beo4s sell for between £30 and £50 and BL1000s approx £30. Often you have to be a bit patient as sellers can ask for more.
EDIT: There are Hotel versions of Beo4 with reduced functionality – they usually have less marked buttons that any of the ones pictured, and probably would not have the PC functionality.
I recently noticed that some B&O equipment had crept into one of my wedding photos, from 1989. It’s actually a ‘portable’ MCL2 box consisting of two CX50’s with an MCL2 transceiver above. It was connected up to my in-laws’ house B&O system by the local B&O dealer.
Hi Keith,
Not all the photos with the Archive Forum are showing as links. As an example see my post here: https://archivedforum2.beoworld.ouronlineserver.com/forums/p/189/345429.aspx#345429
It should have several photos that I had uploaded to ‘my files’ first – perhaps that’s the problem?
What version do I have to look for to get N-Radio, N-Music ? Thank you all for the friendly support! Ruedi
I have posted this picture before on the old forum but it’s worth re-posting here.
Basically when looking for a Beo4 on auction sites you are advised to look at the buttons in the photos rather than the descriptions. Any of the right hand three should give the functionality that you require – click on the photo to enlarge.
If you can get the seller to check the SW version, then N.RADIO and N.MUSIC were added at SW4.2. Prior to that you could access the same sources using PHONO (for N.RADIO) and A.TAPE2 (or SHIFT A.TAPE) for N.MUSIC, as the IR transmissions are the same.
If you have SHIFT in your current Beo4’s LIST, then you could try SHIFT then RADIO to get A.AUX. I have a list of other ‘SHIFT’ shortcuts if you need them.
You also need to be aware that earlier SW versions of BL3500 do not accept A.AUX, N.RADIO or N.MUSIC. I will try to find a thread to link that explains the problem.
