Beo4 and Beolink 1000 are remote control terminals from Bang & Olufsen. OneRemote supplies interface modules that allow third party equipment to be operated via a Bang & Olufsen remote control system.

Operating with Beo4 and Beo5 Beo4 and Beo5 do not have as many keys as this receiver’s original remote control. Thus certain Beo4/ Beo5 keys have got alternative functionality.

Congratulations With your bee2 controller from www.oneremote.dk you now can fully operate your receiver using your Bang & Olufsen remote control terminal, via a beeLINK system bus. Beolink1000, Beo4 or Beo5 remote controls can be used. This guide explains how. This BeeLINK2 controller is ready for use, plug & play. See the opposite page regarding daily operation. Some operations can be altered, to improve interaction with other controllers or to your convenience.
BeeLINK - How it works The OneRemote beeLINK system is based on a 455 khz IR-receiver placed in the room. Via a beeLINK amplifier it distributes control data to one or many different beeLINK controllers or BeeLINK compatible devices, each designed for a specific purpose. One controller is used for the TV, another controller for the DVD, a third for a beamer and so on. The BeeLINK system lets you control many devices, in a logic way.
BeeLINK basics – the link amplifier. To receive the IR data emitted from a Bang & Olufsen remote control, a B&O IR-receiver is often used. If there is already one IR-receiver in the room, this can also be used to feed the BeeLINK bus. Normally there is no need for two IR receivers in the same room. A Bang & Olufsen IR-receiver connected to the BeeLINK link amplifier with four BeeLINK outputs. Four BeeLINK controllers can be connected to this link amplifier.
The BeeLINK bus is a parallel bus type. Passive splitters therefore can be used, to make a network of any shape. If many controllers or very long cables are used, it might be necessary to add more power supplies, placed closer to the controllers that lack power. Using this parallel structure each BeeLINK controller receives the IR-data simultaneously. Every controller has its own microcomputer, living its own life.
BeeLINK2 connections. The IR/ sense socket is output for the IR-emitter that sends IR to the device to be operated. In some cases this socket is also used for sensing purposes. Sometimes the BeeLINK2 controller needs to know if the device is powered up or not. In some cases this socket is used for other serial communication like RS-232 instead of IR control. Prog switch is a push button that must be activated to initiate a programming sequence, as described in the option programming chapters.
BeeLINK Active option. As all controllers on the BeeLINK bus are receiving all the IR-data simultaneously, every controller must know when to go active and when to go inactive. Sometimes two or more controllers are active at the same time. A BeeLINK 2 controller is used to operate a TV, a satellite receiver, a DVD-player, a projector or similar devices. Each controller is specifically made for one device. From factory a BeeLINK2 controller is set to go active on a source button like t or d.
Programme Zapping option In a BeeLINK environment the buttonsW and Rare being used for programme stepping and to manoeuvre up and down in an on screen menu. This is the basic OneRemote layout and compatible with other OneRemote controllers. Some people prefer the programme zapping buttons on the up and down buttons. The programme zapping option, make it possible to change the function of these buttons.
Power off option Most beeLINK controlled devices will automatically power on, when they are selected. But it is not always practical if a device automatically powers off, when another source is selected or the TV is turned off. An example could be a Satellite receiver that is being used in more than one room.
Beolink 1000 og Beo4 notes Beolink 1000 and other early Bang & Olufsen remote controls are not equipped with the coloured function buttons that have been added to Beo4 and Beo5. The lack of these buttons makes it difficult to make a good layout, transparent for controlling different devices. Some operations therefore might be less logical or in some cases not available, when using these remote controls in a BeeLINK setup.
