timmer66:Thanks - that's what I was hoping for. Will the Beogram 5000 work as well?
Yes it will.
Other models which will work and give you remote control include:-
Beogram 3000 (tangential model) 3300, 5500, 1800, 2000 , 9000 (obviously) 8500 & 9500 (1980's models) - non of these have the inbuilt RIAA which is already fitted in the Beocenter 9000.

The use of metaphors should be avoided like the plague. They're like a red rag to a bull to me.
