Something new about the beo5...?
22 replies
With regards to the Beo5, did I read correctly that it is able to learn commands from other remote controls? Does this mean that it also has a "normal" infred diode? If so this will mean I can finally say good buy to my Apple remote.

The BeoSystem 3 is having the Apple Remote added to it's remote control commands list I believe, so yes you could kind of say you can lose the Apple Remote.
Where did you hear about System 3 being upgraded with Apple Remote?
Do you think the STB-C will be upgraded as well?
P.
Alex (the other one, not me) mentioned it on the old forum. I hope the STB-C IS upgraded, it would really show that B&O is thinking about customers with older sets as well as the BV7 etc, not just the BeoSystem 3.
This would probably offer control in link rooms! 😁

Yes!
From the way it's been described to me, the Beo5 will have a PUC just like the BeoSystem 3, BeoVision 9 and BeoVision 7 for customization using a computer. It will not have the ability to LEARN specific IR commands ... not yet at least. The good thing is th at B&O is making a real big effort to include any products that customers request, so if a particular device you would like to be able to control is not in the PUC you should be able to request it and expect to see it added in a reasonable time frame.
I'm going to have a hands on session with the remote next month ... I'm sure someone will beat me to the latest and greatest info, but I'll still be able to discuss what I learn at that point!
I think they will never ever give their customers the opportunity to freely select any unit of other brands by simply offering a programmable remote. That would be totally against everything they believe in and the brand stands for and -much more important- would painfully crash the sales of already weak products like dvd1 or hdr1 in the past or hdr2 in the present.
By the way: Can somebody explain the difference between peripheral-unit-controller and set-top-box-controller?! Is it just a fancy new name for the same thing (and to cover the embarrassing fact of the absence of dvb-t) or is there really a functional difference?
Thanks + Regards, beoberlin
