bayerische: B&O has gone back to component HiFi! That´s exactly what I was thinking. Sad.

Ignace: Most of the BeoSound 5 related topics have now been moved to the BeoSound 5 forum Thanks! This was really necessary.

PhilLondon: Regarding the radio, it was said that 8000 radios where available, so it might be that most of the analog the radios you are listening to are available on the net as well. Regarding CDs... If you have a DVD player you can use it to play CDs that you have not ripped. If you have Cable TV or DVB-T, there are a lot of local radio available

Thanks for the brillant report. If still possible I have some questions: TripEnglish wrote in another thread that bm5 acts as standard NAS. If so, why do I need the special beoconnect software? If it would be a standard LAN-accessible NAS (what I´m hoping for) I wouldn´t need to maintain 2 music libraries (1 on bm5 and 1 on my pc), I could

The BeoMaster 5 is loaded through one or more editing PCs, just like a BeoMedia 1. As with my BeoMedia 1, it not only feeds my link system, but acts as Network Attached Storage. What would happen in your case is that

@ tIRED: Thanks for your report. Sounds just exactly like I feared it to be. Or even worse. Why one needs 3 cables between 2 "paired" units is beyond my understandig. Sad. Kind regards, beoberlin

Just to get things straight, let me sum up what we know this far. If I´m wrong, please correct. The new system constists of 2 elements: bs5 and bm5.

moeschi: Vielen Dank für die Hilfe... Nun hats geklappt... D.h. der HDR2 ist nun vollständig über den BV1 bedienbar? Schön für Dich, das hatte ich irgendwo mal anders gelesen. Sorry für die Falschaussage. Gruss, beoberlin
