Beomedia and Beosound5 are not good for videos.

...we are in the 21st century by the way, since Jan 2001... before that it was the 20th!

Thanks for replying, Phil

My Video Master  is an LX6000, though I have two MX4000s in differing bedrooms which are more 'modern' and are ML worthy. As you can see from the vintage I still count myself in the 19th Century, "Fanny by Gaslight" etc.  I got the impression that the age was immaterial, I thought it was the understanding of the 'Net-Music' concept by the Audio Master was my stumbling block, Ill be pleased to be corrected!

My CRT TV has given me several years of sterling service and don't really want to throw it away as it will be worth pennies to sell and to be honest the picture is at least 10x better than I see on some 'cheaper' flat screen jobbies you see in the High Street retailers.  To be honest some of them in Curries etc. are that bad they do the non-CRT market some injustice.  I must be a Beosnob because I won't go near them and if I am going to have one I want the best. Very short sighted I know as many of the old B&O TVs were built around Thompson chassis etc.  And what's worse these won't plug into the Beolinked solution I have at the moment. So stubbornly I am in a differnt time zone to other Beoworlders, but happy to be onthe same Beoplanet.  - Now an HD ready BV7 complete with Beolab 7, that's a different story and on the wishlist of course and currently a little (lets say) outside my budget at the moment.

Hmmm not too fussed about video, but wouldn't mind sharing my "hot air balloon safari" photos with bored visitors.  Then again with TV being streamed regulaly over t'internet with BBC-i Player etc. it would be a shame if a new toy like Beosound 5 cant cope with it.  I might get my hands on one by 2015, fingers crossed and I'll find out first hand.  Beomedia first, perhaps.....

To play N.MUSIC or N.RADIO, you need to have a compatible audio master (BS3000,9000,4,BC2...) or no Audio master at all. All TV can compatible, in main or link rooms. Older TV think it is A.TAPE 2 and PHONO.

To serve the N.MUSIC, there are 3 solutions: Beoport, Beomedia 1 and Beomaster 5.

Now... Beomedia 1 and Beomaster 5 are also seen as a Video device, that can be connected to the TV and controlled with the Beo 4 with on screen menus.

Usually you access it by pressing PC, on modern TV. But older TV do not recognise the PC key, so you can name it differently, like V.AUX.

in that mode you can access the same N.MUSIC and N.RADIO, Web and Photos.

The BM5 does not seem to have a scart, so I still do not know how it is controlled by the TV.

Hi there.

My guess is that Beosound5 should be controlled over masterlink. Concerning TV out I think it is already mentioned on the specs but didn't check it thoroughly!

Is Beomedia 1 still available from dealers ?

I see it's still on B&O website but had an idea it had been dis-continued
