Hi,

couple of things please.

1 - I don't have a remote control with my new Beocenter 9300 but see plenty to buy second hand on the web - If I buy one will it work out of the box, no configuration issues or licensing? Just add batteries and away it goes?

2 - Is it best to leave the Beocenter 9300 in power standby or switch the power on and off as I use it? Just wondering if the power supply may pop due to age with switching it on and off on a regular basis.

Thanks, only had it 2 days and just making sure I treat it with respect.

If the power supply would fail going on and off, then it's not long before you would have had to repair it anyway.  I would leave it powered on standby for the same reason I would NOT bother buying a remote: The beauty of the thing is walking up to it and merely pressing on a magic glass surface!  That said, the only AV equipment in my house that ever failed after nearby lightning strikes were my BeoCenter 9500 and another B&O product.  Get a tiny, cheap single-outlet surge protector.
