Is it connected to anything else? Have you done a hard reset? - unplug and leave for 5 minutes and then restart- you will need the PIN. Might be a minor component failure so probably time for a service.

I am sorry - I didn't see your original post. There is a new version of the software due out any time which is more stable. Have you explored the help files - I find them very helpful and also have a look at Keith's files which are very informative. One reason you will get few answers is that not that many people are programming the Beo5 themselves

The Beocenter 2200 is not remote control at all.

The amplifier is not a B&O design really and has a built in loudness function which means the sound is a bit bass heavy. It is not made using the same standard of materials and parts are tricky to find. It looks nice though! Sounds a bit expensive if not fully working.

I think that is quite expensive! If it has a good stylus, possibly but it would have to be perfect! A Beocenter 7000/7002/7007/7700 should be less than $200.

I wouldn't recommend the 2200 really. It is not remote control and is in fact a Japanese music centre. I would strongly suggest you look elsewhere - Think about a Beocenter 9500 if can afford one, or maybe something like a Beocenter 7700 if you cannot. Both of these are far superior to the 2200. The Beovox X25 is not a speaker I would really recommend

I would go for the newest you can. Big advantages - mine has DTS included and can, if I want, accept the DTB-S card - I don't want, as it is £300,and would get in the way of my Sky+ box, but that is not the point!!

I know we have had this discussion before, but I do wonder if B&O couldn't produce more in the way of interface items. I don't want them to produce computers but make the LCD screens more friendly to computer integration and maybe some type of keyboard/remote combined. The body of the computer can be third party but the actual interface

Not really but they can be serviced as they are made at a component level. Tim Jarman at Beocentral is a bit of a whizz at fixing these. He can be reached at www.Beocentral.com . Highly recommended.

The backs are quite tough - the standard wall 'bracket' attaches to it.
