beo 4 remote

[Kid]

Just bought a bang olufsen ms6000 with beo 4 remote. just wondering if the remote is constantly on or if there is a way of turning it off.
thanks in advance

I can't turn off mine

Hmm kind of strange I guess you dont turn off any other remotes now that i think about it. but having the LCD on all the time kind of bugs me. by the way how often have you had to change the batteries

[Overkill]

I haven't changed the batteries yet, and im having this TV for almost 1 year and a half. Even today i checked and the remote is still on

[Fudoh]

The LCD certainly won't be the problem. I have a radio controlled alarm clock with a GIANT LCD that's been running on 2 AAs for - I think - 6 or 7 years now.

On the other hand I have remotes that eat two AAAs every two months - and don't have a LCD.

I would trust B&O to have gotten this right.

thxs for the replies. i hope it doesn't go through batteries like my wireless keyboard and mouse. Also the volume and picture settings are always reset when i turn the TV off like colour and brightness and volume but all the settings from the service menu remain intact like picture amplitude, is this normal?

[Overkill]

Well, mine do the same, but i can say for sure if it's normal or both sets are faulty. But i remember some more B&O owners saying the same about the reset after power off.

It doesn't seem to turn off, no, but I've had mine going half a year without the need to replace the batteries, So you should probably not worry about it.
