Hello Beoworld forum,
I got a B&O Shape last year, remotely controlled first with Essence, then "updated" to Bioremote One BT, especialy (my wifes;) wish was a direct access to TuneIn radio stations etc. =all perfectly, but learned that it should work also to contral my BeoSound 9000 with IR settings!
BS9000 to Core connection done via LineIn to play BeoSound 9000 music (i.E. CD´s) using the earphone, (headphone?) output, all good using Beo4 remote control.
BUT I can`t get the BeoRemote One IR funktionality set to control the BS9000,
What do I need to select exactly under LIST is it Beo4 AUDIO and also dont get to V.OPT, A.OPT., L.OPt.....?
any help is very appreciated, Thank you.
I think I see your problem. The BeoSound 9000 will not accept IR signals unless it senses beolab speakers connected via powerlink. There is a work-around, though. You can trick the BeoSound 9000 into thinking that speakers are connected by using a special powerlink adapter plug. It's available from Sounds Heavenly here: https://soundsheavenly.com/search?controller=search&s=beosound+9000
I`d also thought it`s an A.OPT 0 issue, but when it works with Beo4 it should also work with BRone.
So I`d set the Beoremote to Beo4 Audio, now select CD in the Music list - if your BS9000 does not start, set BS9000 to A.OPT 1.
see BRone manual how this works. BS9000 stdby light should blink one time. Now try agaion selecting CD.
And I wouldn´t use BS9000 headphone output for connection with BS Core Line in, A.AUX output is a better choice, because it`s a fixed line level output, and you can do volume level control for all sources via your Core.
To get a `special`Powerlink adapter you just need a normal 5, 7 or 8 pin DIN plug and shortcircuit (combine) PIN 2 and PIN 4.

Thank you for the quick responses,
my guess is that I´m one step behind your suggestions, it`s not that the BS9000 doesn`t answer, I can`t set the Remote to any other device, rather than to Shape!
I`m back home on Wednesday, and will try Stefan`s setup suggestions, by the way, the BS9000 does work fine !?
What I do like is the idea from Stefan to change from headphone to AUX, I simply used the headphone output, as it was so easy using the cable...
Thanks again, and will let you know more ASAP.
Hope you get the setting of the BROne sorted - I am sure you won’t find it too hard, once you’ve figured it out.
As for the connection 9000 -> Core, you could take it one step further.
Assuming that you only use the 9000 for CD listening, you could use the digital output into the Core (a coax to optical converter is needed).
That output is fixed - volume controlling is done as with the sources of the Core. No fiddling with double volume control.
This would give you the optimal sound quality due to a lower noice floor level. Whether you will notice any difference in normal listening situations to the way stefan proposes, however can be questioned/discussed.

There is a tv - and there is a BV
Bingo,
after a view more unsuccsesful trials, I did a BRone RESET,
then I re-started from scratch, first the BS9000 setup, and BINGO, the IR control is working all right, secondly I did the pairing to Shape, and now it`s ALL GOOD.
Now I would like know and understand the output difference between the headphone and AUX, is it only the fixed volume, or is it also a quality difference ?
Thank you so much for your support, and Cheers for now.

Hello again, next day the BS9000 setting are gone,? how can it be, was it that I didn`t deleted the BRone with the previosly settings, and reconnected (did again the pairing) to the Shape AFTER the IR settings where tested?
Thanks again in advance, Cheers
