Dear all ... FYI I (1) did use the iPod nano while (2) I had the Beosound 2 repaired :D

[quote user="Puncher"] I thought I had read somewhere on these pages that MOTS "required" the BS5. [/quote]Disappointingly you may be correct. I am not sure where you read it, but I have just gone back through the two user manuals with a fine toothed comb. The Beomaster 5 can be operated by the Beo4 or the Beo5. The Beosound 5 can
