Hi
I just bought a beo5 as I have more and more b&o products to make work together. The beo 4 was getting tough to use. going through the list to get to vtape2 etc... I have kids and hate to use it with the HDR1.
So I told myself beo5 is the way to go as you could program it and turning all toguether at once.
well I started to check online for the software and only dead links to megaupload. Then I read on the forum that it is only a dealer software.
I use b&o for more than 30 years now and this is the first time I disagree with b&o on their politics.
Not even shure if they have the wright to do this. Then I checked for a DVD2 I fixed, you also need a software I think to program it did not read all the service manual yet. So I cannot use it as it is in a language I do not unsderstand (flamish).
So if anyone could be some help feel free to PM.
I wrote an mail to B&O customer service this weekend so I wait for their reply.
Thanks beohut found it by googling it with cd6....
Installed on a old XP so I do not get in trouble.
Then just configure the remote with one room with a beovison 5.
It upload's everything correctly, no error, then I press "DONE", but nothing changes on the remote. Tried hard reset, then I have reas that it could be a charging battery !!!
I checked on the about button of the config tool and it says firmware : 0.00a (must be a problem there no ?)
Checked on pc the devices and the beo5 is correctly installed
I keep searching...
Are you sure, you have finalized your configuration?
Sounds like you have just validated...
0:0a will be diplayed if no Beo5/6 is connected/detected. USB driver problem?

Sorry my mistake must not have placed beo5 correctly on the stand.
But still nothing uploading to the remote.
When downloading (why not uploading ???) I can see the beo5 reacting but always a standart screen coming up,not mine. I do not have any error coming up.
Firmware version 1.45b
hardware revision 7
supported version 0.46
Has configuration Yes
If that helps
fw 1.45 is a very early one. Should be 3.00 for CT 6.0
Try again wit CT 5.12.
Hope that helps
Thanks for your help stefan
I do not have 5.12 and the links to rapidshare on the forum I found are dead.

You will get the "Standard" setting if your Beo5 config is set to Default.
Press the red DOT (Standby) and the centre button at the same time. In setup select "Config" then select "Custom" and press "Store"
Now download your configuration..

Hi Keith
Many Thanks, that did it, now I understand better.
Just still have to find the software for the DVD2 as the one I bought is in flamish, and that is not a language that I can read.

There is no requirement to change software in the DVD2.
You need to set the DVD2 back to "Virgin Mode" so that when it is next powered up it goes through its one time setup of which the first question is "Your Language"
DVD 2 has several ‘Built-in Service Modes’ numbered 1 to 7
To activate "Virgin Mode" unplug DVD2 at mains socket and wait for a minute or so, press and hold S3 (Standby button) and while holding button switch mains back on.
Thank's a lot again Keith
pressing S3 worked like a charm.
But what is S7 then as Virgin mode as stated above ???

I did not say S7, this is "Mode" 7 which uses S3 as you have apparently done.
