Beovision 12 now on Bang&Olufsen.com
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 1, 2012 03:13I'm afraid this does nothing for me and I question a strategy that follows the 'TV on the wall' direction. Surely the people B&O target live in homes with space. Do they really want their TV on the edge of the room? Let'…
HUMAX FOXSAT HD or HDR
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 18, 2012 18:08Kokomo, My apologies. I gave you incorrect information. My BC6 has the PD1000 STB option but it is not what I am using and you are correct that it does not control the hDR. I also have Humax CI5100 and CI8100PVR STB opti…
BeoCenter 2200 - Help
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 12, 2011 18:43Hi, I have a 2200 although no longer use it. They are nice looking items even if they are not "real" B&O. The display is lit by two tiny lamps which do eventually give up the ghost. A friend of mine with a bit of electro…
BC6 Foxsat Power On Problems
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 23, 2011 18:37Thanks Keith and Opman for the replies. Yes, I have checked the blaster positioning and it is right over the IR window - and I have no problem with any of the commands once the Foxsat box is running. And it makes no diff…

BC6 Foxsat Power On Problems
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 16, 2011 12:31Hi there, This might seem like a pretty basic question but it's a problem that's beating me at the moment. I'm using a BC6-26 TV (with integrated DTV) together with a DVD player and Humax FoxsatHDR 500GB. The Foxsat is c…
HUMAX FOXSAT HD or HDR
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 30, 2011 07:39Can't help you with the "Fox Sat H" setting but can tell you I use a Foxsat HDR with my Beocenter 6 using the "Humax PR HD1000" in the STB menu. It controls all of the basic functions I need to watch TV (stop, start, cha…
beovision 6 problems
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 11, 2011 11:15I have a Becenter 6 and yes there is a hiss on the sound on all sources although it is certainly not loud - you only really become aware of it if you get really close and turn the sound right down. Sounds like yours is w…
PIN code protection
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 11, 2011 11:05I like your suggestion of expoding TVs - appeals to the heart if not the mind. Takes me back to Monty Python's exlpoding penguin sketch. On your - I think - more serous point, the problem is for the mass market cos like …
iPad and Beoworld Forum
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 16, 2011 12:32Getting back to the original post, this is a problem not just with the ipad but will all tablets. They all - apple, Android, etc, seem to have problems translating some traditional PC platforms. I was hoping the BB Playb…
Most beautiful B&O speaker ever built
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 16, 2011 12:22No debate, 8000. And the fact it's still in the product line supports that. 6000 looks nice too. Also have to agree with Trip on the Redlines. I love them as well. Pentas don't really do it for me. Nor do the 4000s. And …
B&O going 3D - good or bad idea ?
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 4, 2011 07:23I heard on the BBC recently that in the US - which has had this latest revival of 3D the longest - the numbers are falling for 3D movie attendances. Seems that a lot of movie-goers don't think its worth paying the extra …
Wife doesn't like BeoLab 9s
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 8, 2011 07:26I'm with your wife and Paul Winn on this. We can talk about quality of construction and sound and vision and integration and all of that techie stuff but surely the real reason we own B&O stuff is that we want to be diff…
Beolink Wireless Question
in General Discussion & Questions · May 22, 2011 17:19Hi Beofans, Hoping one of you masterlink experts may be able to answer this query. I have a BC6 (ML video product) connected to a BC9300 (MCL/Datalink audio product) using a Beolink 1611 converter. It's all hard-wired in…
B&O designer to speak at London product design conference
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 18, 2011 14:25One of B&O's designers is going to be speaking at a Product Design conference in London. Torsten Valeur works with David Lewis and the website says he was responsible for the Beocom 2, among other products. Does not say …
Beovision 10 - 46 Dont bye it :-(
in General Discussion & Questions · Jan 8, 2011 05:05Sorry to hear you have been having such a bad time with the BV-10. There were a number of problems reported with earlier models which were also showing up on Samsung's own LED models. This certainly sounds like a screen-…
Beosound 8 and design
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 28, 2010 18:14I've yet to see one close up but the BS8 does not look that attractive to me. That said, I don't believe B&O are aiming it at me. They need to design something to attract the iPod generation. Sure, I have an iPod but to …
Where is BeoSound8 made?
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 27, 2010 11:39Hi Dude 1 - sorry to leave the reply hanging. No I did not feel duped that the BC2200 was not "real" B&O. It was an entry to the world of B&O design. It was not true B&O but the price reflected that. The BC2200 cost arou…
Where is BeoSound8 made?
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 24, 2010 08:28Look, if we were going to worry about human rights we'd have to stop using oil and that's not going to happen. BS8 and the BV8 are both made in China. They are not made to B&O's traditional level of finish but they are m…
Where is BeoSound8 made?
in General Discussion & Questions · Dec 22, 2010 04:49One of the reasons B&O will be having the BS8 made in China will be the availability of companies to do it. All of the large contract electronics companies - Flextronics, Foxconn, etc - are now almost exclusively based i…
