Hi, I am hoping you can help. I have beolabs 17 connected to a transmitter1 and have used the ir receiver with my old Sony tv. That worked fine. Now I have changed to a LG oled 920 and it does not work. I can see a red light on the receiver so it gets a signal but the sound does not change. I would rather not have to keep the sony remote just to change the volume. Help would be apreciated.
How is your LG connected to the Transmitter 1 (and how was the Sony)?
What do you mean by 'used the ir receiver..'?
MM
There is a tv - and there is a BV
Lg is connected via opical out and the sound does come thru I just cannot control the volume. The Sony was connected the same way but the Ir receiver that is connected to the Transmitter could understand the Sony remote and adjust the volume.
The Transmitter 1 has no ir receiver (input).
Are you sure, you don't mean the Connection Hub, (that was intended for the S8-set)?

By the way, the Sony remote still works even if the transmitter is now connected to th LG
There is nothing in the user guide, that indicates, that the usb connection can be used that way.
HOWEVER, I found this post - May 2014 - from BeoMegaMan here:

It seems, that you are right - which is pretty cool!
Could it be, that the RCV3000 is paired with the Sony remote and has to be unpaired first.
Would you describe, what you did in order to get it working with the Sony?
is there some sort of user guide for rhe RCV3000?
It is possible I'm using it at the tx box today .
My dealer sold me the IR to USB converter.
Do any soud come out og the beolab 17?
I know that there is at least one IR coding style it's not able to decode. Maybe thats the problem.
I really did not have to do anything for the Sony remote to work. Just plugged it in and vola. Wondering if it needs to be unpaired and how that is done. There was no manual with the ir receiver.
And I should mention that it is a lovely TV. It does not have the overall experience of the Avant but that was out of my budget, and I think the picture quality is at least as good.
Yes the sound does come thru, I am using it now but have to use the Sony remote to control the volume.
if anyone is interested I have received an answer from Beocare.
I was thinking og adding a blu ray player to my setup. maybe i will go for something like Oppo og Cambridge audio that i can route the sound from the tv thru and has volume control. The new Cambridge audio Cx series look nice.
Ok, if anyone is interested, I have now bought a cambridge audio CXU universal player. It has variable volume out. Now I connect all sound from the TV thru the player. I use HDMI ARC. The player is connectec with analog rca cables to the transmitter. Its a wonderful but pricey player. It also has 7.1 preout if anyone would like to use it with beolab 14. The essence is also connected to the transmitter.
The Transmitter 1 can indeed control volume from IR devices listed from the above table. As long as the 3rd party doesn't change their command profile it should work with more modern TV's as well. Keep in mind the Transmitter 1 was released sometime ago and doesn't have the ability to be upgraded with newer IR profiles as they become available. If your product isn't support by Transmitter 1 then simply add the S8 connection hub and you are now back in business by having the hub learn virtually any IR command to control volume variably in conjunction with Transmitter 1.
Ah, you know... A little B&O here, a little there
