Russ, When I tried that, my main system came on. What do you suggest?

Move Beolit to another room? 👍

 

Good suggestion Daniel. However I have ML everywhere. 🙂

Lucky for you the BeoLit 12 takes Audio Option 4!

What about track forward & back?

No.  You have to do that from the iPhone, iPad, or iTunes.

Most of the B&O remotes appear to be limited to volume control and off.  This is actually fine with me.  I can continue to use the iPad for reading and change volume with the Beo4.

It might just be whatever app you're listening to music from.  On Spotify, the Beo4, Beo6 and BeoSound 8 remote all seem to work with track forward/back.

I saw it live in the store today... Didn't have the opportunity to listen to it. It's nicely made, but I'm not overwhelmed with it's design. It might grow on me...

No, the design is so-so. Doesn't do it for me, nor does it put me off. I'm going to wait for the other colours before making a purchasing decision. The blue model with tan carrying handle looks better to me.

I think that might be the big winner. The dark grey model has sold well, but with the other color combinations listed on the boxes, many clients have indicated that they'd like to wait for another color, especially the blue. Who could have guessed? I thought the dark grey would be the superstar. 

YELLOW!

You mean "mustard"? 😁

"Battleship grey madame, or rich blue to match your gorgeous outfit and kitchen?"🤔
