Well, the BeoSound 5 is actually a multimedia platform. The video output is DVI, which carries the same video signal as HDMI but without the sound.

Thanks Andreas. [/quote] How did I scroll past that one!? "Let go of the Bikkel" is going to be my new mantra!

[quote user="bayerische"] If we want to make our Beogear more user friendly, "thinking out of the box" shouldn't start with the remote. [/quote] I'm going to defend Bikkel one more time and then he's on his own! Personally I think that the interface (remote in this case) is exactly where you start. Start being the operative

I'm thrilled with it. For a serious media room it's a great option. I'm mostly thrilled at how low it sits.
