CD2 works as Join when turning on my Beosound 35’sIs that with a Beo4, and if so which version? As far as I am aware, CD2 was only available on older Beo4s, for example the 'AV' version. I am not sure about the later 'DVD' version, and I think it was removed prior to the 'DTV' version. It is quite possible that the CD2 IR command was re-purposed as JOIN for the Beo4 Navi. EDIT: Thought it rang a bell; 'twas discussed here: /forum/general-discussion-and-questions/beo4-join-button-for-a-bv3#post-2079307

Yes they are older Beo4’s. None have a DTV button. They do have a DVD button though.
Wow!
Thank you petermc and Guy. I'm happy to report that both my Beo4's have CD2 and that both activate the JOIN command on a JOIN-button IR Eye connected to BLC NL/ML:
(1) "Go" 1997 Beo4 (AV Key, no N.MUSIC, no N.RADIO) has CD2
(2) "Go" 2000 or later Beo4 (DVD Key, N.MUSIC and N.RADIO) has CD2
What an amazing forum.
Alright, new question: why is it that I go into the U.S. B&O website and only see the Beoremote One IR for sale and not the one with BT? Newer products have no IR... right?

About the Beo Remote, I think it's just terminology.
The site says: "Beoremote One works with both Bluetooth and IR commands to control all your Bang & Olufsen products - both new and classic. Bluetooth is only available with compatible products."
I have one to control a BV8 (ir) and some Bt devices. I find when I switch into IR mode. If I accidentally hit the wrong button - say Music - the remote seems to go back to bt mode (I assume) because it no longer controls my bv. To get it back, I have to select a bt source, the re-select IR mode and a source - like music. Kind of a pain and not anything I can train my wife about.

A further thought: When CD2 was dropped from the LIST function of Beo4, perhaps B&O moved it back to the SHIFT CD sequence. (I think SHIFT CD is CD2 on BL1000 - the later Mk3 and 4 variants. On early BL1000, SHIFT CD gave DVD)
Can someone with a DTV (non-navi) Beo4 try adding SHIFT to the LIST button and see whether SHIFT CD works as JOIN?

Found a Beo 4 with DTV and tried the Shift CD command. It didn’t join what was playing instead started up Spotify

Just checked. If I press CD it activates Spotify. Same as using Shift CD
