Hi Folks,

I have a Loewe TV and a Beocenter 2 in the same room but not connected. The TV is connected to a Dune HD player that allow me to play all my content.

I really like to buy a Beo6 in order to be able to control everything from the same remote. I might also get new B&O product in a near future so it will be a good idea to have this kind of configurable remote control.

I get the Config Tool v5 and play a little with it. I get the superb guide and realize that there are endless possibilities... :)

But, I want something simple and it appears that it is not possible with the config tool : I would like to have my Loewe TV as video master and not as an accessories of the Beocenter 2. They are not connected and won,t be because I do not use the DVD player at all...

As I do not have a videos mater, I also can't add the Dune PUC code as accessory...

I think I miss something.... so heeeelp :)

LOEWE TV (Together with B&O in Zone).zip

To access the Loewe TV you need a 3rd-Party XML to instruct the Beo6 to send Loewe IR Codes. I once was playing with Loewe TV and created such a file (attached). Simply create a subfolder with the ThirdParty folder in the Config Tool and put the files there. Within your zone add one that matches your config to the zone. It will appear as accessory, but be available as source in your zone. 

To control Dune HD Player depends on the options Loewe offers. If connected by HDMI, CEC could be the solution.

Thank you Hfat,

I get the files with the Configuration Tool Guide and play a little with the tool... Not as easy as I thought ;)

I was able to see all the pages you made with your config tool (TV...), but the config tools does not offer me to put button with the TV channel logo in the TV page... Should I only use it with the number for selecting a TV channel?

Hi Sergio,

The tool supports the channel list only for Beovisions. To build it manualle for 3rd Party Acessories will be a pain :-(
