Hi All
I am having some weird behaviour with the IR reception of my BM7000
Sometimes the reception drops to 20% of "normal", and I have just now figured out, that if I press "mute" then the reception drops..
The 2-way sending to my BL5000/7000 works without problems, also when the reception is bad. I fi put my BL7000 behind a corner, then it can send and receive, but when I press "mute" the master mutes fine, but then receives no signals after that from the BL7000, if I then press radio, and quickly moves towards the BM7000 with my BL5000 and also press radio, then the display on the BL7000 shows RADIO fine, and then again the BM receives fine, until i press mute, or some time has passed, or ghosts pass by or elves or something else..
When the BM is in std.by it can receive from a far without problems, but as soon as it turns on, then reception drops significally..
Any ideas ? Could sound like something is causing noise somewhere, so might be a cap somewhere that is dead ?

First things first. Clean the inner side of IR windows on both receiver and remote.

Already done :) Sorry.. Should have written that, but simply forgot...
But.. I have had some progress today. I thought about it, and the problems seems to have come around after I added a Beogram 3500 to the unit, the special thing about this addition is, that it came with the 2 missing screws(pin 6 and 7) in the DIN connector, and since I did not want to change the connector, I created 2 pins using 2 thin nails, cut to length, so that when inserted into the Beomaster PHONO connector, the pointy end would actually go into the holes in the DIN connector.. It actually worked like a charm, but I decided to disconnect the BG3500, and remove the special pins....
And after that, no problem with the IR reception ? I will see if this is the solution tommorow :) So maybe the pins caused som noise or interferrence of some sorts ?

Unfortunatelly this was not the problem :( The system still sometimes has very bad reception.. Did some more testing, and if I put the system in std.by for a while (when it starts with the bad reception) and then turns back on after a minute or so, then it works again for a while...
Ok, now I found the problem source !!
It is when I have my antenna attached to the BM7000, it is one of those indoor T-type antennas.. With the antenna attached, the system does not respond to commands, without the antenna, the system responds, and I can do this attach/detach many times, and everytime the system does not work/work..
Anyone has a great idea on how to fix this ?
