To ease the selection of BeoSound 5 sources for those customers using Beo4, it is now possible in the SETTINGS menu of BeoSound 5 under the point named ROLES to assign A.MEM, CD or RADIO names to N.MUSIC or N.RADIO. This will simplify the remote navigation now giving one-click access to both N.MUSIC and N.RADIO. In addition to better remote navigation, the chosen new source names will also appear on the BeoSound 5 display and on the BeoMaster 5 menu (if connected to a Bang & Olufsen television.)
Note: For customers already using Beo5, this update will be of no relevance. Note also, that this update is only applicable, if BeoSound 5 is the only audio master in a set-up.
Also, the kit to have the BM5 built into the BV9 will be available after the summer.

Thanks for the information.  My Beosound 5 is downloading the update now.  It is 11:45 am here in Chicago.  I am looking forward to the results.

The update was easy and took less than 5 minutes.  There are release notes in Settings, Maintenance menu.  It seems it was only pertains to a stand alone system as an audio master.  I did change n.music to CD and n.radio to Radio for use with a Beo4.

I wish B&O had sent an email with update information.  There might be other changes that are not apparent.

Roger,  Thanks!

This update was exactly what I was longing fore! Now I also can use my BEO4 in an easy way. I used the Beolink 1000 more for BS5 despite the 20 years timediferent in age 😁

following the update yesterday, and no past problems.

Today my BS5 locked up, stopping with a cursor in the middle f the screen.

Required a manual system reboot. Anyone else experienced this?

Great. So activating N.RADIO from Linkrooms should also be possible just by touching the display of a BL3500 or by pressing RADIO on a BL2000..(?)

I can confirm that linkroom navigation works fine with CD/Radio on Remote via MX4002 and on BL2000 normal buttons after getting the new version installed.

I haven´t had any problems at all with my installation of BS5/BM5 so far.

I have had no issues with the system since the upgrade but "unfortunately" as I have a BeoSound4 in my setup I am unable to make use of the new functionality with the source names which is a real drawback. If any of you have any ideas how to solve this (apart from selling the BeoSound4) then your input would be appreciated. I only use the CD functionality once in a blue moon via the BeoSound and never Radio, only N-Radio and N-Music.

Also note that the latest software upgrade also contained a new BeoPort/BeoConnect client version. If your client PC has not already detected this then try to shut down the application and restart it or alternatively reboot your client PC.

I have experienced that after changing to 'CD' and 'RADIO' on my BS5, my BV AVANT cant play the sound from my BS5 any more. I use to press 'A-N.MUS' on my BEO4 remote an then the sound was on my BV AVANT, but it dos not work any more!

Is there a function that gets CD and RADIO sound over my AVANT that I don't know of?

Any surgestions, or other that experience the same problems?
