Net Radio on Serenata
in General Discussion & Questions · Nov 19, 2009 07:52I know all you guys with Iphones/Blackberrys etc can listen to internet radio stations, but I wondered if anyone has tried this on the Serenata...? Does it work? I'm trying to work out if somafm stations can be played - …
Beovision 7 + Playstation 3
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 22, 2009 12:35Our dealer recommended and installed a NYKO (remote and dongle set up), which means we can use the Beo5 remote to control the PS3. It works perfectly - the only thing is you have to turn the PS3 on manually. That is neve…
BeoVision 10-40 and BeoCom 5 on B&O mainsite
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 21, 2009 05:55Terrific. Lovely photos. BUT.... is it just me, or should B&O correct spelling mistakes BEFORE uploaded to the website? The BV10 text describing the BV10 contained a few spelling mistakes - so I wrote to them, because I …
BEOVISION 10
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 20, 2009 05:07Great to see the BV10 on the website! Just one thing though, how can it be that B&O designs this amazing stuff, but manages to be so amateur when launching it? As if the launch photos were not bad enough (still cannot be…
Building New Product Anticipation: B&O vs Apple
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 6, 2009 15:26Interesting thoughts Graham. I suppose B&O do a pretty good job of stoking up interest, but I'd have to say that Apple does it better. The reason I say that is I remember, when living near Apple's Regent St store, how ha…
B&O's ELECTRIC CURTAINS
in General Discussion & Questions · Oct 6, 2009 15:08Hi guys When I turn on our Beovision 8 40 the electric curtains do their thing and the sound creeps up. Great! EXCEPT, unlike the other Beovisions with the curtains, it doesnt do this while the picture/sound is there - i…

Question to BV7 owners from a BV8 40 owner...
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 11, 2009 07:01Thank you Razlaw, Stefan, Nicky, Whlerz and Piet for helping out! Much appreciated. I'll look into the customer service menu, and will try to delay the curtains long enough for the picture. I don't have a sky box, I am j…
Question to BV7 owners from a BV8 40 owner...
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 10, 2009 16:37We all love B&O's electronic curtains, right? Well it is one of the reasons I was happy to get the BV8 40, cos it had the curtains- that bit of B&O magic! However... when you turn the TV on, the curtains open to a pictur…
B & O starting to fall behind?
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 7, 2009 06:23Couple of thoughts: All brands experience strong and less-successful eras, and at times have 'Serenata/DVD2 moments' - Aston Martin Cygnet anyone? (for those that may not have seen: http://www.carpages.co.uk/aston_martin…
Where is the Serenata?
in General Discussion & Questions · Sept 5, 2009 09:48Simon - I think you are totally right - I recently called into the Tag Heuer UK flagship store and noticed they have mobile phones for sale at B&O (PLUS) prices. The Tag Heuer assistant was telling me about the amazing d…
Newbie
in General Discussion & Questions · Aug 12, 2009 16:37Yeah - I think it is true. I first bought a beocenter 2002 when I was a student collecting funk records. Ever since I took it to a B&O dealer for a service (10 years ago) I've been into B&O in a big way & now have a hous…
B & O Highs and Lows
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 23, 2009 11:22Wow - a BS9000 falling off the wall! To be fair, B&O stuff can be pretty fiddly to wall-mount - I remember trying to fit my answerphone to the wall once, that involved a few highs and lows... But the fact that your BS900…
B & O Highs and Lows
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 23, 2009 05:56Hi Andy T. Good point - I should talk to my dealer about the Serenata screen issue. The thing is, I feel a bit guilty as I'd already bought this Serenata (about 4 months ago) from an Ebay seller. Unfortunately, and this …
I hate my Beo 5!
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 23, 2009 04:26Well, I think the Beo5 is a grower. Got one with our BV8 40 and at first I could'nt work out what the function was going on, and just wanted to use our old Beo4 (which is now on Ebay with our Beovision 6 22 - the one wit…
B & O Highs and Lows
in General Discussion & Questions · Jul 23, 2009 04:22Went to the Proms last night - had a wonderful evening. Was thinking about the Beolab 9s. Then stepped out for a coffee in the interval and saw a pair of lab 9s and a Beosound 4. Everyone was impressed, I thought it was …
How many Beoworlders are also Saab enthusiasts?
in LifeStyle Discussion · Jun 18, 2009 07:27Hi Graham Saab is one of my favourite brands, along with B & O. In my opinion they have similar values - unique design, highly innovative and quirky (Serenata's navigation wheel & Saab's night panel button!). Recent year…
New BV8 40 - first impressions at home
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 10, 2009 05:25Well thanks to the Tube drivers striking today, I'm 'working' from home - plenty of time to spend with the new BV8!! It'd be great if other bv8 40 owners shared their experiences here too (I meant to write that in the fi…
New BV8 40 - first impressions at home
in General Discussion & Questions · Jun 8, 2009 09:14Our new BV8 40 was installed on Saturday. The wife and I spent the whole weekend watching our favorite films and TV - we're very, very impressed indeed. The in-built freeview software really adds to the whole experience …
