beocenter 2 and hdmi

37 replies
Hello,does anyone know if we should expect the beocenter 2 to have hdmi soon?Thanks
There was talk of this a few days ago. I can't find the posts having browsed back a bit, but somebody did mention that HDMI would be added to the BC2. Whether this will happen or not is difficult to tell, as even if it is in development at Struer, it may never reach full production.

I don't see why HDMI is necessary though. To be honest with you, the picture produced when it's connected to a BeoCenter 6 or BeoSystem 3 gives you an idea of how fantastic the upscaling in the latest visual products is, there really is no need to do the upscaling at the DVD player end unless you're connecting to a brand-x TV.
another upgrade to the socket box??
Not that I have heard. The big news is the new finish and the Audio only model.

Where does an audio only BC2 fit in the audio range with a BS4? Looks like duplication to me.
I suppose it offers choice but you are correct. It does have the digital out which the BS4 does not but it doesn't have the SD card slot. It will be interesting to see the price!

I suspect the BC2 can be able to carry a premium given that BL5 owners have no choice if they want to go digital (unless they go for a BS9000).

 Maybe the BS4 is aimed at the "mp3" market

The BC2 is a premium model. To be honest I would not expect the music only version to be that much cheaper. I woudl think ight in the middle between BS4 and current BC2, maybe even higher. For customers who have a DVD already they will not have to wait the few seconds that thing needs right now to determine if a DVD or CD is inserted.
