Is it possible to replace a Beosound 5 connected to a Beomaster 5 with another Beosound 5 without any problem?

Or are they a "unique pair" that can´t be replaced?

I believe the Beosound 5 is merely the display / user input unit for a beomaster, so unless I'm missing something, they should be interchangeable.

As we all are just guessing: If you have the opportunity, please try it and inform us if it works or not. Than we have facts. :)

It works. My original BM5 was replaced without changing the original BS5 it came with. Didn't experience any issue.

Thanks Lee & Griebel!

I can now also confirm that it works fine.

No problems to change the Beosound 5 unit.
