Don't go anywhere jonnyb, blame me for not reading that post of yours properly to the end on the first time! But Philippe summarized exactly why it went that way - the number of threads that have converged on the same thing count probably in the dozens by now...

[quote user="jonnyb"]Which is what I already wrote above. [/quote] No it's not. You were wondering why B&O hasn't paid to have Apple Lossless. There reason is that it is not for sale. EDIT: Your edit above seems to be a more accurate interpretation, all good now

[quote user="jonnyb"]No indeed, but my point was that Phil seemed to be saying that B&O haven't licensed Apple Lossless because they'd need to pay for it whereas AAC was an 'open standard', ie i was questioning whether Phil thought that AAC was free. Since both aren't free I wonder why B&O have paid for AAC but

[quote user="jonnyb"] I thought AAC also had to be licensed from Dolby Labs who are the main original inventor? [/quote] Not a problem at all if they openly license it!

[quote user="chartz"]And why does the motor continues spinning after the drawer has reaches its end stops?[/quote] Because there are no end switches! The motor control only has a timeout, just like the doors in BC9000 and descendants. You'll need to clean and relube the rails as well (and any related wheels/rollers, I can't remember

[quote user="sergi0"]Did you have any advices for removing the top cover of the beosystem?[/quote] The instructions should actually be printed on the bottom plate of the components. It's rather easy, you loosen the two big screws on the edges of the back panel (do NOT remove them!), slide them up, and tighten again. Sounds odd the first
