BeoLab 3500 - is it two-way remote ready ?

30 replies
Is it possible to use the BeoLab 3500 with BeoLink 5000 or 7000 remote controllers two way ?
As far as I know the 3500 is one way only.
According to this article http://www.beoworld.org/article_view.asp?id=63 the BeoLab 3500 is the only product still produced and able for two way communication...
I don't understand that quote since the 3500 does not have an IR emitter according to the circuit diagram!

Could it mean that it is the only BeoLab Loudspeaker available with 2-way Masterlink communication?

I didn't write that.. honest!  I'm happy to change it.

I think it may have been read in the wrong pretext/context.
When describing some of the two way systems, it also mentions the speaker displays.
This is the thing that BL3500 is the last legacy of.
I think.

All ML products has two-way data 😐 But not two-way audio distribution 👍

Dear All:

What is the benefit of two-way communication with the remote?  What is it?

thnx

That is a very good question Dario. I've heard colleagues on this forum rave on about two way communication and I still don't see a worthwhile benefit!

C'mon guys, sell it to me!!😕

Principle of two way is excellent and genious. One way remotes are like command and control without control at all. Following this one way remotes are really remote commanders not controllers. With two way remotes you can check what the system is doing. Especially in programming this is  nice.  Two way  facilitates user interface remotely from the actual device.
