Update: The eyecon iPad app also can search the internet for a song/artist and let me play the selected result on the BeoSound 5! It shows the song and artist on the BeoSound 5 screen but shows no cover art. While the app can let you type in a song/artist to search from sources other than the BeoMaster 5 (including the internet), the search function

I'm using an app on the iPad called "eyecon." With it, it can recognize even the BeoMaster 5 itself as a music source and allow me to select music on it to play on the BeoSound 5 via A.Aux. Thus, this is giving us the ability to control the BeoSound 5 via the iPad. You just use your finger on the iPad to drag the song from the "results"

For anyone who might have been thinking the same thing: I tried connecting my iPhone to my BeoMaster 5 via the iPhone to USB cable. Sound did not come through via the A.Aux.

The BeoSound 5 userguide has been updated already on the B&O site. It says "You can listen to music from an external device, such as a smartphone or a computer, on the speakers of your music system. The device must be connected to the same network as BeoSound 5 and an application on your device is required to communicate with BeoSound 5. Once

[quote user="Paul Winn"] These huge TVs are very chav! I can imagine Katie Price & Peter Andre buying them with gold stands! I really think this is a tacky route for B&O to go down i'm really not impressed! [/quote] I completely agree. Once a screen gets so big, the only tasteful way to go bigger is to have a projector with a retractable

Yesterday, I saw this new blu-ray player from Samsung: brushed aluminum, ultra-thin, 3D, wi-fi, with internet tv, side-slot loading, and wall-mountable. I cringed thinking that the BeoCenter 2 should have been upgraded to blu-ray. At least this player wouldn't look out of place among my B&O.

I wonder if there is a "serial" input module that could be added to a Panasonic commercial screen that would enable on/off control by the BeoSystem?

It's such a beautiful, iconic piece that I feel it's value to someone who loves B&O is worth more than it's market price. Also, if it's in great condition, it seems a shame to risk the damage that could befall it in shipping. The BeoCenter 2300 was my first B&O stereo. I replaced it with the classic BeoSystem 4500, which I later
