Philips prestigo universal remote

Thanks, Ben 🙂

And lets not forget  Terrapolitan who found it in the first place.

I like to spread the blame 😁

Cheers, Steve

Yes - I am filled with remorse here, and wish the Kudos to be fairly distributed to the thread originators (or blame).

I wish I had the Beo4 look and feel with this functionality. Day 2 now, and I can't really believe that all those remotes are in a cupboard. I was originally planning to use irTrans/iRed, but it seems they are still in beta with iRed 2.0 for the iPod Touch.

I programmed a really nifty power-down sequence that switches off everything, including the BL5s. And I like that I was even able to put away the Apple Remote.

One does notice what a powerful IR-transmitter the Beo4 is, though. That you can point in any direction you want -- the Prestigo I have to point directly at each loudspeaker to power them down or up. 

Did you guys have to do some complicated setup to make Prestigio work with B&O? Or did you just pick a code for b&o from the database ?

I'm thinking to buy a SRU 9600. I think it fits b&o's design better. I know it cant learn signals from other remotes.

Can SRU 8015 learn from Beo4 ?? Any other known differencies between 8015 and 9600 ?

I have the SRU8015. Compared it to the 9600. I like that the top coloured buttons on the 8015 are actual buttons. I have used them to program a number of different sources, and can use them in the dark, just by the touch of my finger. On the 9600 these are virtual buttons on the display.

For instance, my Plasma screen's different sources relate to the buttons from left to right: STB-Games-AppleTV-Mac mini

Same with the receiver.

Very pleased with the 8015, it's retired a lot of other remotes, and it learns whatever B&O command I need. I have it resetting my BL5s, volume up/down, switching them on/off, etc.

from past experience not all universal remotes are capable of controllong bang and olufsen products. when i here of this i am some what of a sceptic until proven otherwise. even though B&O have utillised components manufactured by philips.

 Ughh. Gross. Stop swooning over this creaky plastic mess. Take it over to www.phillipsprestigouniversalremoteworld.org/forums

WHAT DO I TELL MY CHILDREN!? 

I'm using it every day. It's great - controls a whole range of components, and lets me add new functions whenever I want.
I find myself using the channel selector function a lot - seen here:

 

 

Just found this thread, and being closer to decision making, I'll have to maybe reconsider remote controls! LOL Anyone interested could help me out with a B&O question on my thread New House New System?..............

These certainly look functional and seem to get soundproof's approval, I just wonder what it's limitations might be down here in never never land???????????😮
