Sometimes I jsut have to look angry at mine at it turns on, another time i smack it like crazy and it stays dark ... very confusion.

The alarm sound is .. ok, but I actually expected more ... my swatch music call was nicer, really.

Over all: Se*iest alarm clock I ever had!

yep, but B&O should use much better quality components and it would be cool to hack the Beotime to use your own MP3-sounds as an alarm :-)

Hi,

My Beotime bought new at my dealer has one of its 3 screens that has a darker backlight than the others.

When I noticed that i brought it back to my dealer that replaced my beotime with another....but same "issue", so he opened another one....same problem...

Finally, I took back my beotime thinking that it wasn't an issue...but today, I'm still thinking it is.

What do you advise me?

Does anyone know what type of lights the Beotime will control? Does it operate on same frequency as Beo4 (im guessing it does).

What tunes will the Beotime play? 

I currently live with this issue but for a 320 Euro Alarm clock that is an absolutely no go!

I bought a 2nd one and I like them realy much regardless of this issue.


@Chris: It opereates on the same frequency as the Beo 4, 5, and 6.

It makes some kind of metallic or porcelain "ping" noise for wake up - you can't miss that in the morning :-)

There's also a hidden menu and after activating it, I was able to use my light manager pro from jbmedia for alarms with light switched on without any problems!

Incredibly, it will not activate AUX.

It also can control our Lutron Grafik Eye lights: RED, BLUE, YELLOW, GREEN, 1, 2, 3..., 8, 9.  

Incredibly, the Beotime has a new position I had never seen on our Beo4 nor on the Lutron documentation: "ON".

This is quite shocking, because we have dumb wall-mounted Lutron switches that have only two positions: one depress="all on", one depress="all off".  

Well, the all on = "RED", and our "RED" gives a different light configuration than Beotime "ON".

I have a Beotime mounted on the wall in the bedroom. It just needs to lightest of taps to get it to display the time. The other evening, however, I was taking a phone call and went into the bedroom with the phone. Suddenly noticed that the Beotime was lighting up intermittently with no tapping or contact. It hasn't happened again since (but I don't stand around waiting to see whether there's an ongoing issue!)
