Beomaster 5000 and later remote commands – early datalink?

[speedsixdave]

Evening all,

I have a new and fairly unformed thought about using the pre-amp output from a Beomaster 5000 (and e.g. connected Beogram 5000) as aux inputs to e.g. a Beosound 3000 or Beocenter 2, therefore greatly increasing the number of connected external sources. I do not have a BM5000 at the moment. My question is this:

Are the pre-Beolink 1000 remote commands for the BS5000 sufficiently different to the later Beolink commands that one could use both systems in one room without conflict? I presume the more complex commands for the later datalink systems would not cause conflicts as they would not be recognised, but what about the simple commands like Standby, Volume +/- etc.?

I like the idea of being able to control the Beosystem 5000 with its MCP5000 or Terminal 5000 while separately controlling a Beosound 3000 and ML system with a Beo4, but conflicting commands would make that impractical.

Thanks as ever!

This should not pose a problem as the older B&O remote controls to the best of my knowledge worked on other frequencies than the Beolink 1000/5000/7000/Beo4 remotes.

Just to be a little more sure I just tried to use my Terminal 5000 in the same room as my Beocenter 9300 (both in standby and when playing a CD), and I saw no reaction to any key press on the Terminal 5000
