i am afraid i have too many boxes in th set up , so i wouldn't like to have one more to make things complicated.

at the moment i have some macros at my Beo5 , which makes different speaker settings for different sources.

i am curious, can i do the same with the input settings ?

any suggetsions ??

What about a HDMI expander? Will give you three more inputs. Can be controled by Beo5, Beo4 (Lintronic).

Run out of AV channels, need help , how to connect extra unit ??

Hi there !

i have BeoSystem 3 with number of units connected into it as follow :

Sky HD, BeoCentre 2, Mac Mini, Wii, Playstation 3, Samsung SAT receiver. it was ok before i bough BeoSound 5 and i bumped into the fact, that i have no spare input to connect it. i was trying back and force and the only solution i found is to connect bot game consoles Wii and PS3 to the same channel, via different type of cables. PS3 use HDMI socket and Wii uses normal plugs , so i plugged them both to AV5 .

Now, the question is, can i program macro command for Beo5 remote control unit, to switch input settings for AV5 on my BeoSystem 3, while i choose either one source or other , on the fly.

can anybody help me to know the truth ??

thank you,

Vladimir
