I have a Beovision 9 (BV9) and controlling an Apple TV via PUC. I bought a BeoRemote One BT to replace my Beolink 4.

Problem:
To control the Apple TV via Beolink 4 I use the navigation buttons (left, right, up, down) the center button of the navigation buttons and EXIT. So intuitive / easy to use.

At my BeoRemote One BT (in IR modus) the navigation buttons do not work any more for Apple TV. Instead I have to use search backward, search forward, P+, P-, Play and green dot. On one hand these buttons are confusing and from the layout it is not as convenient as the navigation buttons on the Beolink 4.

Questions:
1) Can somebody give me a hint, how to enable the navigation buttons at the BeoRemote One to steer Apple TV via PUC?
2) Any other solutions? Control Apple TV via Bluetooth (BT), possible? How?
3) Is there a solution to use BT and IR parallel on myButtons, without changing within the menu between Beo4Vision for BV9 and Bluetooth for Beosound Core?

If your BV9 has a higher sw, you might be able to choose ‘which Beo4’, you can use.

Currently it very probably will be set to the old type Beo4.

A BROne (in ir mode) behaves like a Beo4 with navi....which makes it ‘different’ tthan what you are used to.

If you (can) change the entry in the BV4 to beo4/navi, it should work.

Tank you very much for the fast answer.

Unfortunately my Beovision 9 / Beosystem 3 software version does not support Beo4 with navigation.

Does anybody know, if there is a software version for my Beovision 9 (Type 9720, Item 1972005) available for Beo4 with navigation?

My current software is:
06 IC3 AP SW11.37a
06 IC2 IOP SW22.00a

9720 will be a MK2 - which is good.

Apart from the massive power consumption, it will be a nice tv for you.

I have no access to which sw brought the ability to choose the navi remote!

You could try to send a pm to Keith Saunders - he might know.

Anyway, only a B&O technician can update the sw - so why not just ask a skilled dealer?

If you must/will have someone coming for the update, be sure that they also update the PUC table - you might need a (newer) PUC for the ATV4HD......a bluray player or an external tv box.
