While trying to program this unit to work with my beolink system with the beo4 remote, I screwed something up and now I cannot change volume with either the remote or on the unit. How can I reset the unit to factory defaults if not able to bring up in the menu selections?

I can't get the settings menus on either the unit or remote to bring up "reset" option and the "sound" menu is locked also. I tried unplugging the unit and removing batteries from remote and rebooting the next day, but nothing changed.

Did you put it in option 0?

OK, I found how to reset to factory defaults for the Beosound4 and have it working properly with the beo4 remote. However, I cannot get my masterlink system to operate. I have several "passive" amp/controls thru out my house as well as a 3500 and prior to my beosound9000 crapping out, it all worked fine. The Beosound guide for setting the "options" all reference television settings. The Beosound4 is operating two Penta speakers perfectly.  I have only audio system. Have tried every option and nothing works. Do I have to go to each individual "passive" unit and try to program them also?  Next step is to pull out the masterlink boxes and check wiring, but nothing has occurred that should have caused loose wires.

Any ideas will be welcomed.

Seeing as you did a complete reset to the BeoSound 4 I think you should try to system wide reset.

Pick one Beolink Passive (I would pick one closest to the BS4 so you can watch the BS4 to see if it is reacting to traffic on the link (blinking)), power it down, and then bring it up -- hopefully that will cause it to try to find its mother ship ... and you will get a connection.

If that doesn't work you are no worse off -- and if it does work, then repeat the experiment with the next Beolink Passive !

Hi, 

so how did you reset the Beosound 4. There is nothing about it in the user manual or in the internet.

HELP! ))

What kind of reset ?

Usually a solid unpowered 10 minutes resets things.

But of course you will need your PIN code to get functions back.

Wow, everything is SOLVED : I went through the Service Menu and found the reset, I'll have to store radios again, but the sound volume (left wheel) AND the Beo4 are working !!!

To enter the Service Menu, enter the Setup Menu first, then pres"0" twice and push the wheel centre button, then you will arrive in the Service Menu.
