Hi, just wondering if the remote comes with TV and included in the price ? I was told by my dealer that it is sold separately and Beo4 doesn't work on New Avant.

According B&O website , it says quite clear the remote is included , stand options , 3D glasses are "sold" separately.

Thanks,

JC

The BR1 can be bought seperately but should always be included with the Avant 55".  Maybe he's trying to make a bit extra on the side?  Check again with them and if they persist in saying 'it's extra' I'd report the franchise to B&O HQ and let them know.  How on earth can they think they can supply a TV that needs the BR1 and then try to charge you extra for it?  Very poor show.

Normally the quoted price includes a remote  and sometimes other things like a stand etc. The quoted price is a "package price".

BUT all B&O items are prices separately, so the price on the Avant supplied by your dealer may be a Avant only price.

This is done because there are so many different choices of remotes, stands etc. They need to have a separate price for each item, so the price reflects your choices.

Both your dealer and the website is correct - but not at the same time.

At launch and until recently the BeoRemote One had a very limited availability and as a result was packed and shipped separately from the tv.

Today, the BeoRemote One is packed together with the tv and shipped in the same box. As a consequence B&O changed the pricelist to reflect this fact.

I asked Beocare that question a while ago (May 2015).

The answer I got was, that you can use the Beo4 (navi) with the Avant, but that they would recommend the BR1 for all functions to work.

So yes - you could use an existing Beo4.

I don't know which functions don't work - would be nice if anyone, who has experience with this, could tell us.

It's included in the price.  The dealer may be unaware of this, as its seperate on the order but with zero price.  It can also be ordered separately.
