Michael,
Life is so nice with the 238,
so relaxed and so easy….
Really, when I look at all the advertisements about universal transmitters replacing up to 25 devices I smile and think: They have apparently never heard of Lintronic as that is the only true solution, the rest is crap and nerve eating.
I control 5 devices:
Apple TV, HDMI switch, Samsung HD Blue ray, Bose Cinema123, Humax PVR

Hello Michael,
I wanted to control my B&O system and you suggested I invested in a TT455-RT-238 hardware version 6.1, since it performs better than my existing hardware version 6.0.
After receiving the new box, the upgrade could not be more simple. I only had to connect the new box and reload my old configuration from my PC => It took me 2 minutes and everything was working as before, except the enhanced power of the new version 6.1.
The new power allows me to locate the TT455 almost anywhere in my living room, and its finally landed on the top of my sideboard at 1.80 meter of altitude.
This new location is capable to drive the following devices
- Beovision-7 located on the left corner of the room 7 meters away !!
- Satellite Set Top box + PC Media Center + IPTV Box + HDMI/ Audio Switch all located on the right corner of the room and also 7 meters away !!
And in the middle of room there is my long sofa + different armchairs. The Lintronic Box and it’s Beo IR Receiver are located in my back and the TV and the electronics device are in front of me back in each corner of the room. In this configuration I even do not need to aim the Lintronic Box.
My BO4 remote control is working in any direction (yes, in ANY direction).
The 6.0 version has nothing to deal in term of led Power with the 6.1 giving a real freedom in terms of placement.
So YES it was really worth to change for 6.1.
Best regards, Alain

Hi Michael,
My LinTronic box is great.
It allows the Beo4 remote to control the Dyson fan and the Windows Media Centre in my Sony notebook. Michael is great. I ask him about Dyson fan. I am now seating on my sofa enjoying my favorite music tracks stored in my Sony notebook which is connected to the BV7-40 while turning on the Dyson fan. All this is possible because of LinTronic and Michael’s excellent after sales service. I would highly recommend Lintronic.
Best regards, Andrew.
p.s. Even the technician that services my BV7-40 wants Lintronic too!

Dear Michael - thanks for helping.
I use your products every day and they close the gaps which B&O does not (maybe
they try to save some development costs when eg not supporting light commands
via ML-MCL converter, etc.).
Once commands are received by TT455-RT-238 and TT-IR-8087030, they're forwarded
to MLGW which sends the commands to my IP Gateway to my KNX system (still under
construction - but it works already!) which is attached to deveolo's LAN over
power line. Hope you enjoyed those picts!
ThThanks again for helping!

Last week I noticed that the amount of remote controls flying around increased to more than acceptable
lass="BodyText">
I moved house some time ago and I had in my previous house a LinTronic TT455-RT-238 converter, in order to use my BEO4 remote control with non B&O equipment.
The TT455-RT-238 worked for years without any problem at all.
So I decided to install it again.
In the mean time I replaced the TV, Mediaplayer etc.so I had to re-program it.
As you can
see on the picture I also changed to an iMac, so I tried running the
configuration program on a virtual Windows XP with an USB-Serial cable.
It runs !
I had to
sort out some issues with the new software ,and the support from LinTronic
was again perfect (I remembered the very good support from the day I bought the
TT455 in 2007)

Michael,
I wanted to share my experience with the IR receiver :
Because I did not want to see an IR receiver on the wall, i was looking for a
solution to hide the IR receiver.
I was thinking to use the IR-8087030 for better sensitivity and modify it a bit
by extending the IR receiver diode BPW82 with a cable, could certainly be done,
but it is not the most easy solution.
Then I looked at the schematics of the BV9 and the BS3. I saw the BS3 has a
second connector for IR (IR-IN) (used in the case if you hide the IR receiver
from the TV with a projector screen) I had the impression this input is just in
parallel with the existing receiver of the BV9 (so it is also an output of the
IR receiver for the TV set)
So, I just connected (with a standard stereo jack) the BS3 IR-IN to the IR input
of the TT445 and guess what .... this works perfect !
So my IR receiver for the TT445 is now the same as the one for the BS3 !!
no extra IR receiver on the wall and it has the same sensitivity as the IR for
all the B&O products. :-)
best regards

Hi Michael
I have enjoyed my -238 for more than a year now.
In the beginning of 2012 tv transmission systems changed in Denmark, so the
tuner in my old Pioneer plasma tv was obsolete. The choice was then to buy
either a new tv or a settop box. Having a -238 converter and a
Beo4 remote it only required a little programming and the system with settop box
and old tv worked with both units acting like one - fully transparent. My Wife
and kid could keep using the tv as they were used to.
After 11 months I got a new surround reciever (Marantz), along with a
spreadsheet of Marantz RC commands, I could program even more features into my
system. Especially discrete power on and off commands is very helpfull - despite
the -238 can handle power on/off with variables.
Now I have setup speakes in my kitchen, using the Zone/multiroom functions in
the reciever. Thanks to my -238 and the spreadsheet with Marantz RC commands, I
can use more advanced function with the Beo4 than with the original Marantz
remote.
The configurator just becomes better and better and it is nice to see that You
listen to costumer feedback incorporating new features.
Best regards, Klaus |

Hello Michael,
I wish you made products for B&O.
Your products are still the smartest, most feature-full, installer friendly
and reliable!

From Bang&Olufsen in Hong Kong, we
received a story about the
TT455-RT-238 controlling devices at the Mira Hotel.
http://www.themirahotel.com |

From Bang&Olufsen in CapeTown,
Soutch Africa, we have received this picture from their showroom.
Scott explains:
AV equipment is all Bang &
Olufsen; BeoVision4 65", BeoSystem 2, BeoCenter 2, BeoLab 5, 3, and 7 speakers.
The B&O IR receiver is split to the BeoSystem 2 and to a Lintronic -238 in a
walk-in equipment cupboard off the main room. The 238 controls the Intellibus
lighting control system - 15 individual lighting zones, currently 6 scenes.
Intellibus control is via RS232 (Thanks Michael for the firmware upgrade)
Lighting triggers for the -238 are Beo4/5 remote as well as mag contacts on the
automatic sliding door wired to the -238 digital inputs.When you walk in and
close the door the lights come up to a welcome scene.
When you open the door again to leave, the lights go back to a standby scene.
The -238 also controls a Multichoice 990 satellite decoder in the cabinet under
the screen.
The room is proving to be a fantastic demontration tool.

B&O in Paris - asked us to support an RGB controller.
Then they created a very nice wall at a customers site.
Facebook -
ApplicationNote
Nicolas explains: The RGB LED are behind a woden wall we create to hide the
cables and set top box (It's the same type of wall we used in B&o store). The
Led illuminates all around the wall to make an aesthetic effect. With the beo5
you can choose the intensity of each color (red,blue,green) to make the color of
your choise. You can also start a sequence where the color change it self, at
speed of your choise. |

Hello Michael
A TT455-RT-238 controls a 52" Sony TV, a Strong sat receiver and a Motorola 1920
Set Top Box. The TT455-RT-238 is placed behind the TV and still controls it
perfectly. The Strong and the Motorola are stored in the cabinet and controlled
by the low-power TT-IR-ET03.

I am (censored) from Italy. Well, now, i have understood
how to make tt238 works well and i have many units working perfectly in my new
home (i just finished to build the new home). Your tt238, is really a little
'big machine'! With this little box, i am able to have a real full integration
with my home automation system. Everythings works automatically with
presence-sensors. Lights, alarm-system, fan, curtains, and now audio-video too.
I need only 'to be' in my home, then different scenarios starts in various rooms
at the specified time.
Thank you for everything, Michael! |

The support is A+++. The TT455-RT-238 is brilliant, I have no software
experience, but with this product I had made my own program controlling a plasma
and a DVD player, that was just a quick test, the product is able to do so much
more. The TT455-RT-238 is highly recommended.
Sal
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!!! I must say that this is the BEST customer
service I have EVER received!!! You are to be commended!!!! Again, thank you so
much!!!
Foidl, Austria
I use serveral -238 boxes in a very complex szenario with ML integration and
BEO5 XML generator. Everything working very robust, easy config, powerful
functionality.
Jordan Korenzvit Bang & Olufsen, Toronto, Canada
We've installed over a dozen Lintronic 238's over
the past few months. When we install B&O products together with non-B&O
products, we still want the installation to feel like a "B&O installation". This
means only one remote control, the B&O remote control. Whether it's Panasonic
plasmas and DVD players, Scientific Atlanta cable boxes, Yamaha amplifiers or
any other IR controlled product, the 238 allows us to keep the installation
clean, and the system easy to use. The software interface is smart and powerful
so that our installer can quickly program the Beo4 to work exactly the way the
customer wants. The 238 is reliable, so we know that after we've completed an
installation, we're not going to have problems. Being an exclusive B&O dealer,
we must be very careful about what non-products we carry. Everything must meet
our, and our customer's, and B&O's high expectations. Lintronic's 238 certainly
does, and the support that comes with it is second to none.
Phillip Armstrong, New Zealand
WHAT A BLAST ! Just wanted to say how excited I am
after interfacing a TT455-RT-238. We are looking forwards to developing
expertise with your products. Our customers will be knocked out!
Hans
TT445-RT-238 works amzingly simpel. I once used a Detoma IR converter and it
drove me crazy. Your software works great and is simple to use.
Dennis
Thanks a lot for the great support; fast response times, great advise and the
assurance that it will work and a great result! This is what makes this a great
product! Next to my mediamaster I have my DVD player (Denon) and projector
(Sanyo) working very nicely!
Stefan, Belgium
Thanks for this fantastic product! I installed the
-238 into the front cable channel of my B&O F1000 furniture. To get the same
sensitivity as B&O I also installed the original link eye and modified the
position of the IR sensor (90 degrees on the PCB). Now it works like an original
B&O application and you don't see anything from the outside. At the moment I'm
only controlling a PS2 but the Mac Mini is on the wishlist. It' s a pitty that I
didn't have the -238 during the rebuilding of the house, otherwise I should have
forseen lot of extra cables and gadgets to be controlled by Beo4.

LinTronic vs. Philips Pronto Pro: I have a Philips Pronto Pro. All in all, this
unit is no more difficult to setup and program than a Philips Pronto Pro. For
me, learning to use the setup software was about the same for both units (about
a day of use to discover all the features). However, once I learned how to use
the software, I found it much easier to program the LinTronic. I use several
macros and prefer the LinTronic over the Pronto Pro. When I execute a macro on
the Pronto Pro I have to keep the remote control pointed at my stero equipment
until all the commands in the macro have been executed. This isn't necessary
with the LinTronic system. My BEO4 sends just one command to my LinTronic unit
which then sends all the commands for the macro. I love this device and would
recommend it to any beophile wishing to incorporate non-B&O gear into their
system or to any person who just wishes to use the BEO4 remote with non-B&O
gear. You just need to be prepared to spend a day or two learning how to use the
software and getting the LinTronic programmed to best suit your needs.
Dieter, Switzerland
TT455-RT-238 is a tiny box but a great platform. And thanks to LinTronic's close
to customer development the TableTop community benefits from a lot of features.
Chuchorifico
The product is always getting better. It is obvious that LinTronic is listening
very carefully to their customers.
Korstiaan, Belgium
LinTronic finally has given the solution I always dreamed about.
Jan
Thank you very much for your support and device. It makes a big difference in my
place. I advice everybody to use your solution.
Raman Bhatnagar, Norway
First of all I need to say that the only thing that passes the lintronic
products, is the man behind the products himself. Even though that the products
are quite intuitive to set up, there are always some minor challenges to
overcome in order to reach the ultimate solution. Michael is always there to
help. I have reached him even at late midnight hours and he has answered me
promptly regardless of how stupid or simple my questions have been. Thanks
Michael!
Lars
Thanks for all your help, everything works great. You have designed an amazing
little device, great job! I will return to you later with some suggestions on
how to improve the setup program, perhaps some of my ideas will improve the
usability of the program. Once again thank you for your kind support.
Alex, Germany
Thank you for the very fast response. I am left without words: again! LinTronic
is truly like no other company. I buy one of your products second hand, and at
no cost you give me immediate support. Now it's upgraded to the latest version.
Just awesome. I would recommend the -238 without hesitation to anyone wishing to
extend the functionality of their Beo4.
Andrew Crane, Surrey, England
The TT455-RT-238 is a great piece of kit and is a must for anyone wanting to
seamlessly integrate B&O equipment in a multi-vendor environment. The software
is intuitive and comprehensive, and the hardware is well-made. Within about 2
hours I had the LinTronic talking to all of my home cinema kit as a standalone
converter and macro sender. I find it hard to fault the LinTronic - it does what
it says on the box and more I've yet to explore.
I recently moved to a new house, and with my passion for B&O and knowledge about
Lintronic products, there was no way beyond combining these products. Together
with X-10, I have total control of my house with Beo4 through the TT455-RT-238.
It works excellent and fits exactly to my needs, both financially and
functionally. The one thing I like the most about the TT455-RT-238, is its
ability to be tailored in any direction and to meet every need triggering my
creativity. I recommend this little box to everyone!
M.Corey, USA
LinTronic was great about adding my decode so it would recognize my Scientific
Atlanta cable box. I have to say the LinTronic product is pretty cool and very
flexable. I'm glad I went this way and skipped the beosystem1. Jarkko First of
all i want to thank you for an amazing product. When I recived the TT455-RT-238
I was surprised of the quality of the product, very good indeed. Installation
whit software and first time programming took about 30 min, extremely easy to
get it going. Thanx again.
Michael Rupinski, USA
I am writing this letter to express my sincere appreciation for all of your
help. Your products have answered my needs extremely well. I am looking forward
to future versions of your outstanding products. Thanks for all of your hard
work. If I can ever be of assistance to you in the US, please do not hesitate to
ask.
Jacky, France
Very good product, resolved quite my problems of adaptation of 4 different
manufacturers, requires a good handling.
PC
I have managed to split the signal from my B&O IR
receiver and feed it to the TT with excellent results. I must say the effect of
using the LinTronic transceiver with my Beo4 is almost magical. I have put up
with a row of remote controls crowding my coffee table for many years so being
able to control my world from my favourite remote, the Beo4, is a dream I have
held for a long time. The LinTronic TT455-RT-238 has not only realised that
dream but opened the door to other possibilities such as computer control and
home automation which I am looking forward to investigating.
