Hi, I have aquired a beosystem 2 and a beovision 4-50 and have it working with my old Philips MFB speakers and all seems well watching DVDs. I understand it can control a set top box if it’s in the list that one of the menus brings up, I have aquired a Panasonic box that is in the lest, is there anything else I need to make this work from the BEO4? I ask as I have noticed that there is an IR out which sort of makes me think there beosystem two takes the signal from the beo 4 and converts it to control the Set top box and transmits this from the IR out by an led diode?
i also have an ouvature which I may also connect to this system, will it make the ir eye I have redundant?

On the subject of the STB itself, I’ve been looking at the Panasonic examples, and from previous experience with their VCRs have found that their remotes works across a wide age range of their products, does the same apply to the pair STBs? My reason for asking is the TU-CT200 is standard definition and not HDMI, and although the Beovision 4 is not 1080p it’s is capable of 720p so I would like to use a later STB
