Many thanks hfat - that's very useful to know!

I have my BV10 running on it. Works like a charm, except when I forget!

Thanks! Anyone know if it's just the later (post 2011) models that are navi compliant?  When I looked at the BV10-32 instructions on the B&O site the navi was only mentioned in the instructions for later variants.

Thanks Rauber - much appreciated!

Seven years later and I have just got hold of a BV10-32 - my first Beo4 Navi compatible TV!!

Anyway, I just changed the setting in the TV menu and tried the navi remote, but I really can't see any advantage.  The central navi button is a bit fiddly to use, and the locations of the PLAY, BACK and especially LIST buttons are not intuitive.  This is especially a problem when the other Beo4s around the house are non-Navis!

So am I missing something - can anyone tell me why I should stick with a navi remote?

As an aside, I understand MODE 1 and 2, but what is MODE 3 on the Beo4 Navi?

I found an old post from Keith that answers my MODE 3 question, here: 

Obviously you are (only) used to the older Beo4 layout.

I can only say, that all my Beo4’s are with Navi (have been for years) - and that I would not want to have to go back to a non-navi remote.

As the name says, the Navi button is for navigation (in menus).

It allows for a more fluid navigation especially when you use a UI like that of the ATV (or other mediaplayers with tiles) - and you can fast forward more precisely, when watching movies or Youtube content.

For me the Stop/Play buttons are right where they belong and also the Back button ( = intuitive).

The List button is a bit offset from this navigation part, because it is used in another context.

And what would you need a Text button for nowadays (that one has gone to the List….should you need it).

Apart from all this - depending on the SW of the remote - you have other options in the List menu with the newer navi version.

So depending on what you need to do, the Navi version might be better (once you get used to it).

For some things, the Go version (of which there are many versions too….remember the one with an A/V button!) - in other situations the Navi will be best.

The Beo4 has evolved over the years and has adapted/has been changed to fit the needs of the new devices, that came over the years/new external (PUC-controlled) devices.

If you have a BV10 and use the TV tuner (and maybe a DVD player and an old school masterlinked audiosystem) the Go versions should be fine.

In the end it is up to you - with the BV10 you have the choice between both versions.

P.S. I/we never had any issues with the navi buttons (like some people like to say) - it still works as supposed.
