I have recently purchased a Beomaster 3000.  Hooked up to my RL60.2s it sounds great  It did not come with the Terminal 3000 remote control and I am looking for advice on where to look for one, or if there are other ways to control it remotely (can you program a universal remote?).  Is it possible to update the system to work with newer B&O remotes?

I recently brought a Beomaster 3000. It only works with Terminal 3000 and is not compatible with today's B&O remote codes. Even the Terminal 3300 which looks almost identical to the Terminal 3000 does not work.

I would try eBay - or the place where I got my Terminal 3000 from: http://www.lifestyle-av.co.uk/ It was around 45 GBP, quite pricey but condidtion and their service was outstanding.

Afraid that this correct. You might find a terminel 5000 does something but I would not risk it. Interestingly, the terminal 3300 uses Beolink 1000 codes.

I have noticed that the Beomsater 3300 uses Beolink 1000.  They somtimes come up cheap as not many people find them attractive.  I wonder if it is possible to switch out the remote control compnents?  Definitely a non purist move, but the 3000 looks so much better than the 3300.

Thanks for your input everyone. I will keep an eye on eBay.

The remote control codes are interpreted by the same processor that runs the entire Beomaster. So, it's not a matter of simply swapping the IR receivers,  you would have to swap the processors as well. And that would only work if the other circuitry is the same in both - I haven't looked, but would be surprised if it was that easy.

Probably easier to change all the trim! You would then have a 3300 that looked like a 3000. Or just get a 4500. I agree with you about the looks of the 3300 - what were they on the night that design was signed off! Nasty grey paint and vomit green lights! The 3000 is far better! Unfortunately, the 3300 is much more useful!

I got a lucky break - Brought a Beocord 2000 and it came with a remote for the Beomaster 3000.  Best $20 I have ever spent (of course Dillen helped me get the Beocord on the road to recovery, belts and a motor).

The Beosmaster 3300's can rest, assured I will not be hunting them down for their brains (not their looks).
