What's your take on Beomedia 1 and Beosound 5

7 replies

Hello All,

A question on the the "validity" of Beomedia1, now when the Beosound 5 has been launched. Would you consider to buy BM1 and add it to your setup, if you don't want to spend the the many for BS5, if so, why?

Thanks

Hi,

The BeoMaster 5 will replace the BeoMedia 1. If you please, you can buy the BeoMaster 5 only and hook it up to your BeoVision like todays BeoMedia 1.

But what would the price be on the Beomaster be then? I understand that's the "hidden" box that have the 500GB computer etc...

Hi there....

This may have been asked (and answered) before.... Is is possible to connect an external hard drive to the bs5 system to increase the storage capacity?

I was also wondering if the MOTS can be switched off? I personally like playing a random selection of music not centered around a perticular genre.

Regards.....
