If I remember correctly: If you push the same button you use to set the number of rings (the button with the bell on it); but now push it twice; the screen will show: OOOOOOOOOOOO (flashing) This sets silent answering. Push it once more to turn it off. Good luck, Bieele

Peter Pan: Bieele . One more question on this setup: Why is it needed to split the subwoofer out? I would expect that I can also connect pin 3 and 5 in the DIN connector to get the same result. Is this correct? . Yes pin 3 left, pin 5 right and pin 2 ground for connecting aktiv SUB, can also be connected with the front speakers. . Mvh. Peter Pan Thanks

Peter Pan: Hallo Bieele here are some possibilities. . http://www.recordere.dk/forum/uploads/PeterPan/2008-08-14_134409_aktive_bl._til_non_B&O_forst..gif http://lintronic.dk/AppNote_BeoLink.pdf .

Great project! I am very impressed! Thanks for sharing

Peter Pan: It is, of the Per-Out amplifier you buy you determine loudspeaker outputs. Builder you my box then use the Power Link MK III cable and you will not "brummen". Each speaker must be active, not mixed with passive speaker. I see that some (pre)amplifiers have a choice between "balanced" and "not-balanced" pre-amp

Beobird: I would only go for option 1 if you're going to buy a B&O plasma/lcd too (otherwise you will spent 3 times more on the bs-3 then on the non-B&O tv). Option 2 will be a much better choice if you buy the Panasonic plasma combined with a Panasonic Blu-ray player. Option 2 has another advantage: My wife will be very impressed if this

Beobuddy: I think I'll wait with investing in a FullHD screen. During the month november the TH-42 PF11 will be released. The 50" will be released in december. This is the next commercial panel without the speakers but with the RS232 connector you'll need if you want to invest in a BS3 in future. My suggestion is, stick with the BS2 or

Peter Pan: Hallo Bieele here are some possibilities. My English is not good. So hope you forståt my drawings. . Greetings Peter Pan Hello Peter Pan, Thanks for the info! Your forum is also great; it gives a lot of inspiration. Your English is good enough and your drawings are super. You should start a company to sell these custom made solutions

liberal: Hi, There are special powerlink cables available which allow you to run Beolabs from a surround sound processor, they also reduce the 12v trigger output from the processor to 5v required by the Beolabs. I use them with a pair of Beolab 3's as rear speakers and a Nad M15 Surround Sound Preamplifier, and they work perfectly. The link below

Beobird: Buying a Rotel, Naim, Primare or whatever processor will only be better. They support much more modern movie codecs then the Beosystem 2 does. I also think the sound performance will improve when the processor is well made. Beobird, thanks again for the info. I have spent a lot of time the last 2 days to browse for products to build a system
