Beomaster 5500 - operation without remote

10 replies

Hi,

Anyone know if it's possible to operate a Beomaster 5500 without the remote?  Looks like you can with the 5000.

Thanks

 

 

Nope, there is no flip-down panel on a 5500.

thanks for that

Looks like it would not be much use to me then, as I don't want to shell out for the oversized remote.

Try Beolink 1000, it's not oversized.

Both Beolink 1000 and Beo4 can be used.

Oh go on then, I'll kill this one.

Get a Beo4 and, unlike with the Beolink 1000, you will retain command of the much prized LOUDNess function.

Well -it depends on the speakers if you have to use Loudness...👍

hi out there

I have hit the same problem - LOUNDNESS stored on and my MCP5500 is - well - in a bad shape - I have a beo4 and beolink 1000 - but I can't disable the loundness on my beomaster 5500.

Those beolink 1000 I have havent got the SHIFT buttom - and the Beo4 wont show me the loundness command in a "radio" context - any ideas?
