I can add to this...

Last night I set a timer on my BS3000 for 6am this morning. The radio came on but no sound - it didn't power up the TV. The TV has no concept of a timer from what I can see in any of the setup options. 

With the BV7, I set the timer on the TV as the BS3000 wouldn't let you set a timer when setup as A.OPT = 0.

With the Avant, my BS3000 is still set as A.OPT = 0, but I am able to set the timer on the BS3000 now.

Did I miss something?

When I was talking to my dealer about NL products, I asked if the timer in the BV7 would activate NL products. I was told no, and also no for the other way around.

BTW, dear Razlaw,

 

 

I know you considered to buy an Essence, me too. Finally I bought the new Chromecast audio and connected it to BV7 (cinch input of AV5). I can highly recommend this cheap (only 39 EUR) and simple solution. You only need an IPad/IPhone/Tablet and you can listen to Spotify (Connect) and TuneIn radio. I use A-DTV2 command on Beo4 to switch on BV7 in audio mode. The sound quality is superb, I can't hear any difference to a CD.

Thanks! I will consider that. Right now my Beosound 5 is working well for me although it does not connect to my V1 and there is a N. Radio station on the BS5 that I wish I could get on the V1.

if the screen is used for feedback then shouldn't it display the RDS info from the radio? I notice that it will only show the station position number, not station name nor frequency.

And I also guess that the AV function is gone now too with the Avant? For those of you who do not know what I mean... With the BV7 I can go LIST then AV and then press the function that would only turn on the audio component of the TV. My use case is AV then the button that turns on the Apple TV and I would AirPlay Music from my phone.

I see that the Avant has an option to be a Renderer but I haven't managed to work that part out.

with BV 7 (and other ML-BV) the AV command works fine to switch up BV in audio-only-mode without switching on the screen.

Hi Rauber,

- any ML-BV? Unfortunately i do not get this,working on my last edition of my BV6-26's with the apple tv connected to HDMI, the tv starts up but i don't get any sound (using airplay). This works perfectly on my bv7, bv 10-50/32.

- i full agree, very annoying! This because the people nowadays developping b&o sw and products never got to experience or live/lived with former ML setups and/or do not wish to see the advantages. I eg use it a lot to put on the images of my camera's (my daughters playroom or the driveway when you're expecting someone) on the tv and then press av cd/spotify/radio. This impresses still a lot of people.  I think the more people request it at B&o the more chance we have to get it this integrated in the NL-BV's.
