I believe the BM5500, 6500 and 7000 all have that functionality and can be easily programmed via their Master Control Panel.

The BeoCenter 9500 can also be programmed in this way but only with a two way remote like the Beolink 5000 or 7000.

Beomaster 8000 has no clock and therefore no timer functions.
Beomaster 6000 has a timer function but it can't be set to a different time each day.

Also, Beomaster 5000 & 5500 do not have a separate timekeeping IC, so they will lose the time & date if mains power is interrupted. Timers themselves will be preserved (the memory IC has a backup battery), but they're not going to wake you up at the expected time if you had a power break...

6500 & 7000 will keep all settings over a power break, but the MCP cannot set very complicated timers, you will need a BL7000.

Thanks for all your replies.

I have a BM7000'sleeping on a shelf, I will try to configure the timer. It will replace my ouverture.

Just need to find a beolink 7000 or 5000 to configure the timer on a daily basis, ....... And a pair of beovox ( I always wanted a pair of CX100, maybee it's time to go for it)

I can ad to the 6000 and 8000 that a suiting Beocord do have timer options for playback and recording
