peacha: thanks, does the beo port use the aux or would that still be free to allow for connecting DVD? what would the BL3s give more than the BL4000s for the extra £800 or so they are? Beoport use a special B&O connection so the AUX is free. BL3 is between BL4000 and BL8000, BL3 has a disk on the top that makes it possible to be any where

yes with a RCA cable or the "beoport". all the radios has one aux input, the DVD player has to be connected via the Aux if it's not a B&O. 4 X BL4000 will also be very nice or only 2. IMO if you go for the BL3 I would advice you to get a per and test them at home, because the sound is very different from room to room. because of reflections

Beosound 4, beolab8000 and a beoport. This will be around the £4000. Beoport makes it possible to play MP3 and radio from PC and web, also shows info on the display on BS4 BL8000 is a good alround speaker in a timeless design

I don't have a 5500 or 7000 but it cut just be that 5500 has 30 steps and 7000 has 60. Todays audio/TV has 90 steps in vol. just a thought BTW BM5500 also has 2 X 110 W

muntbeoman: A possibility would be to connect your MX to the Avant via the Coax out of the Avant. Choose DVD on you Beolab 3500 and set the MX to the link channel. You will hear the soud of the DVD via your 3500 and the video via your MX. This will be the cheap way to do it, not the best way but will work. just a thing to add: keep Bl3500 in option

I Have 10 yeas old V8000 and love it. it's not like dvd2 more like hdr1/2 where B&O use there own processor and software in 3th part hardware. V8000 is the most reliable VCR B&O ever made...

Sky news = DTV + 5 + 0 + 1 So i think it possible but not the sound bit... but we have to wait and see have long the macros can be..

no thats not possible. (I guess you use a ML/MCL converter) only in your setup with a BS an d BC Only BS 4 and BC2 is it possible to play one thing in the master room, and another thing in link room (but still the same thing in all link rooms) and only if the speakers is connected to the radio...

I think you should bring it to a shop, a last thing I can come up with is, did you clean the sensor on the Little pcb ontop of the gear wheel?

if I remember correctly there are also a transmitter or receiver placed, on the upper right hand side of the CD casing!! is there a Bright light directly on the BSC or a plasma screen in the same room?
