Can a Beolink 5000 operate a DVD1 connected to a MX7000? And is €300 for a DVD1 a good price?

1) I got my fingers in a brand new (10 years old - but new in box) Beolink 5000. The reason for choosing this remote is that I have a Beocenter2300 and two LC2's. But will this remote operate a B&O DVD1?

 2) Presently I do not own a DVD1. But I just got one offered at a price of I just got  DVD1 offered for 300 Euros. Is that too much? The price for second hand DVD1's is 540 Euros - but they will then offer me a gaurantee for a year. I just do not have an idea as how good a price 300 Euro's for DVD1 is.

 

Thank you in advance for your advice.

 

Best regards

It will work perfect with your system.

DVD1 can be operated. When you occasionaly need to press a color key, you can instead press SHIFT + ARROW KEY.

Price is good, you won't get is for less on ebay.

Be aware there might be different versions out there, supporting mp3 or so? I can't remember exactly.

Thank you - you (that is "PhilLondon, formerly Wtlc2zpx ")  do indeed sound sure. The problem I anticiapate is, that there is no DVD button om my  Beolink 5000 - does that not constitute an issue? Which button should I use instead?

 

Regards

You use the CDV button instead.

Just use the CDV button. Also remember to put the 5000 in one-way mode for video, else it won't work.

My MX700 has SW4.3 and is thus one way. I am in the proces of down grading it to a 1.2 SW version which will once again make it two-way. By down grading I mean simply switch the Eprom - I am getting the right Eprom from another helpfull member of this forum.

However, I do have one question - how to I switch between one-way and two-way mode on my Beolink5000? I need it to be in two-way mode for my Beosystem 2300 and one-way mode (for the time being) on my MX7000?

Does anybody else have a comment on the price - what should I look out for when buying a DVD1 second hand? 

Thank you in advance.

Best regards

Put the system into standby by pressing the 'off' switch for > 2 seconds and press SHIFT and then MENU. Just follow the instructions on the transparent screen!
