No i dont becasue i have HD recorders running etc and i like to be able to just fire up music from link rooms. (Conected to TV) How about off setting your footprint against something else? External Speakers could be switched off if you had those. If your worried i would just switch it off at the mains and put it back on in the morning. You can buy/get

Hi there I think if you have no Pin code set and its stand along it wont be a real issue. The time the set takes to load the software will be longer for sure. I would go to the shop and time how long it takes to get a picture from standby and then do that same test after switching the main back on. I know the BV7 takes a while before it becomes responsive

I was told that the beosound 5 can work on its own scanning your network for a NAS/PC sharing its music files and will work on its own without the need for a BM5

2 USB ports and no beomaster five needed and it will cost more. HA

[quote user="TripEnglish"] Slightly more than a BeoSound 5 (it has much more inside it so this is to be expected). [/quote] Then Apple TV all the Way lol

Hello Everyone So what is the price of the beosound 5 encore going to be? Will is perform mots on your networked music When will it arrive???

Hi Everyone is it me or do we all find new products really exciting. The BS encore sounds really interesting if it can read your network and perform Mots on the music. Shame no one snuck in a camera

OK i am Hearing: Beo6 same as beo5 but widescreen for flicking through the album art 2way but only for use with Bs5 bs5 encore will work with NAS or PC to search for music, 2xusb 1 internal 1 external. Powerlink sockets A,Aux socket can operate as a slave to BS5 or as individual units around the home, connection to the network. Bs8 not sure if its masterlinik

"N"??? I have no idea... i Just know that one day when my Apple TV goes to techno heaven i will need to replace it with something and wondered what alternatives were around.

Hello All I had beomedia 1 many years ago and i ditched it due to the lack of album art and two way communication. I decided against the BSound5 due to its price even know its lovely to look at. I settled with Apple TV and after all this time I love it its perfect for my needs. Can be controlled from Beo4 (PUC) Intergration is perfect Sound in Link
