So a related question if I may (probably for Chris): If you select 'TuneIn' on the Essence using the Beo4, can you then change station/programme using the number buttons?

That could be my question too - although I don't 'think' that this is possible, since the stations are not numbered using TuneIn.

One possible solution would be to use the MyButtons/BROne for 1 or more of the stations in the TuneIn list.

So, if Chris could play around ;-) with his BeoRemoteOne a bit, we might get an answer there.

Okay, but next time i have the BSE in my hands i will be testing it :D

Would be nice, if you could do that - especially the part about using the MyButtons is interesting.

Yes, you can with the Beo4. Activate radio on the Beo4 and change a station by pushing a number or use the up down button. Station numbering is related to the order you give them on your TuneIn user website.

You only need an Beoremote One to activate a Link source, this won't work with the Beo4. You can off course use also the Beomusic app for activating a Link source.

To put everything again in a row:

a)  A daily operation of only the Essence sources (without Link sources) works perfectly with the Beo4 + IR-eye.

B)  Daily operation of Essence sources (with any Link sources) works perfectly with the Beo4 + IR-eye + Beomusic app.

C)  If you want to use the Essence sources AND any Link sources from the comfort of a remote, you need the Beoremote One + IR-eye.

You can add any source (sources from the Essence or sources from Link products) to the four MyButtons. Also the possibility to add Matrix sources (Atlona?) but NOT a specific radiostation who is behind a number on your remote.

Thanks very much indeed Chris.  That's all very clear, and very useful to know.

Thanks - would have been nice to be able to do that, though ;-)

And thanks for the helpfull explanation in general.

Nice setup! I guess you are still using the Passive to drive your in-ceiling speakers.

For a kitchen I would also prefer a IR eye which has a wired connection to the Essence rather than a Wheelie which is wirelessly coupled. Seems far more robust to me!

Hi Jans,

Indeed, I'm actually still using the Passive to drive our B&W ceiling speakers. You also want to get the Passive in standby when the Essence is not in use. Therefore you need a special NL-cable between the Essence and the Passive.

The cable you need is part number 6271225 from B&O. I suppose there is a 22ohm resistor present in the Din plug to activate the Passive's standby function.

Sorry to go off topic.

Chris, by any chance have you used to BeoRemote One with Moment before? Does it control the same way as Essence?

No haven't tried it, BeoSound Moment is mainly designed for close-up operation using the interface (Jukebox). But looking at a chart there is no difference except for the exclusive Moments function PatternPlay.

Chris,

Thank you very much for the information.

The manual on the B&O website does not have this information. Just wish that the Essence can connect using BT rather than IR.
