What does the CINEMA button control? I am assuming it just activates the back light, am I correct?

It's a setting that closes your doors and windows, drops down a projector and dims your lights etc etc as far as i'm aware.

I won't ever be wealthy enough to find that out though..

Cheers Lee! Neither will I pal

No, backlight is activated by a little sensor inside the Beo4. You can hear it if you shake the remote.

Cinema activates cinema view in BV7/9, BS3, which means close the screen, turn the stand to audio-position, activate SPEAKER 5 mode...

If you have a cinema control module it closes two contacts (which can close doors, windows, curtains, activate popcorn machines....)

You can configure that in cinema timings menu.

It`s the same as pressing  FORMAT 0 on Beo 4 or CINEMA on Beo 5.

With a bit of work, it can also bring in a scantily clad usherette with ice creams.

Mine hasn't yet.. how do you activate this function, and can i do it when my wife isn't looking?

 

According to the manual, one can use the CONTROL button (List)
to control specific functions in the background. 

 

not to forget it steals the direct record functionality from the Beo 4 ... 

 

I love my Beo 4 Cinema for the backlight - but hate the identically named button for - what I believe is of no usability to most of us.

Do you hate it enough to sell it?

LOL - not quite, yet! ... I may rethink once I get a Beo 5 though, Have a look at ebay though - I have seen one there lately if I recall correct (though going for something like 500€)

More than happy to listen to offers for mine

Just bought the last one at my dealer a minute ago....not sure how long my current one will last, so I have a spare one now.

Hey Karsten,

      Hope you do not mind me asking, how much are they from the dealer. If you do mind me asking tell me to **** ***

      Jonnie

To be honest - I don't know excactly....but I have  roughly 400 Euros in mind. The one I will get is unused (no batteries were ever loaded) but was on display some where in the shop.

Karsten 

Thanks Karsten much appretiated. Enjoy your Beo 4.
