Btw, I have also successfully put A9 to sleep by long pressing Essence "wheelie" down button. <3 Just love it.

Especially handy in my setup, as a long press makes the BL15 speakers "tilt" back into the wall 😐

But why is it, unlike any other brand I've ever bought, that so many things are undocumented? What if I was not part of this forum? How was I supposed to learn I can actually start A9 in Deezer play "mode" and not only and neccessarily in TuneIn play? 

You are right, that this is not really part of the Userguides. In the guide for the Essence  2nd gen you can read:

'...Press again to switch between available music sources.'

However, the information, that Petros mentioned in one of his posts above, can be found - along with other nice infos - in the FAQ's about the Essence 2nd gen on the B&O website.

Attempt #8

MM that still begs AnalogPlanet's question.

B&O systems are (and always have been eg my 5000) incredibly sophisticated systems.

So why has the documentation over decades been so sparse ?

It's as though the minimalist philosophy has been applied here as well.

But that prevents us exploiting their solutions' rich capabilities.

And not only us! It's their dealers' staff who suffer - thrown in the deep end with a few key USPs.

Unlike the Tesla story where one would believe those sellers had received in depth training.

FAQs fulfil one need; but they are not "advanced guides to systems administration" which I believe most of us crave.

And for informal informed opinions it would be wonderful to have Geoff Martin joined by others: eg the guy in the Moment design philosophy video.

I gave up at my 9th attempt . . . I hope they are not in the moderators' queue !
