Thanks for starting this thread Peter and the latest update, Keith. Is there anywhere on the site which shows the versions and what has changed between versions? I guess this is an engineer update, any experience of how much dealers charge for upgrades?

Well, as I understand it, the latest software update corrects an issue when an audio source is played in speaker mode 5 and the sound configuration was not saved for BeoLab 2's.

Apparently the key new feature of this update is the provision of full HD output resolution, also a BeoCentre 2 overlay menu.

There is also a new feature for the US market, not sure what this is however.

As far as cost for the upgrade is concerned, I guess this will vary from dealer to dealer, but is done with a software tool from a laptop PC like most updates these days.

Any news on if any third party DVD players have been added IR-control wise?

Great, thanks Peter,

Now itching to find out exactly what changes have been made to version 3 and what products are supported.

Has Apple TV been supported??

Just ordered a new BeoSystem 3 yesterday.
Do you think it will have version 3.0 installed from the factory, or should I ask my dealer to upgrade when installing?

PS!
Planned to buy a pair of the new BeoLab 9 to go with the BeoSystem 3, but made a big mistake by also listening to BeoLab 5 (just to compare of course). My wife and I ended up choosing the 5'ers instead of 9'ers. Big difference is sound +++ (and cost ---). 

So my advice to myself (for the future) is not to listen to better equipment to find of what you will be missing 😉.
