Dear Friends,

I have ordered a new BeoMedia 1 (together with a BeoVision 9) which I should receive in about a week, but when I said to my dealer that I would like to connect that to a Mac computer (instead of a PC) he seemed to be a bit skeptical and confused.

I would like to BeoMedia to be connected wireless to my iMac station and here are my questions:

1) can the BeoMedia 1 be connected to Mac computers???

2) if that is possible, am I loosing any of the functions/features of the BeoMedia 1 by doing that?

3) do you have any good advises/hints on how to connect these two?

If you actually can provide some detailed information about the set up/connection I would really appreciate that, because it looks like my dealer knows less then me and is very confused.

Thanks a lot for any help you can provide... all the best!

Hi massimo

It works fine.

1. Yes

2. No

3. check B&O: http://www.bang-olufsen.com/page.asp?id=142

 

and you find this

 

  BeoConnect - 1.00.08

Wish to use your Mac as a BeoMedia 1 client - Now you can.

BeoConnect is the application that enables Mac OS X to act as a BeoMedia 1 client. It lets you connect and transfer media files such as music and photos to your BeoMedia 1.

BeoConnect supports both Intel and PowerPC based Mac's, and will run on OS X version 10.4 and above.

Mr. Anders(son),

HUGE HELP! I really appreciate you taking the time to provide so much good info... thanks a lot.

If I'm not wrong you have the new BeoVision 9 as well, right? are you satisfied with that?

My final set up should be: BV9 + 2xBL9 + 2xBL6000 + BL2 + BS9000 + BL3500 + Playstation 3...I look forward to seeing everything in place.

I think you have something similar (remember seeing the pictures)... any other advise from your side would be very welcome.

thanks again and all the best!

Great

Yes I have the "flagship" for a month now and still can´t believe it

But it kick ass.

I had BV5 before I change to BV7-40 to get the connection/cinema option
But was never relly satisfaid with that. So now every thing is set

My setup in the mainroom is: BV9(BeoMedia1) + BL 8000 + BL3 + BL2 + Beo5 + Sanyo projector + Euroscreen

So you beat me with BL9

In some year I will go for BL5
