I like the Beogram 4004's looks much better than those of the Beogram 8000. Hence I am wondering, is the start/stop remote control function of the Beogram 4004 downward compatible with the datalink interface of the Beomaster 8000 (or in other words, would the 4004 start playing when pressing Phono/ stop playing when selecting a different source on the 8000)? Did anyone try this? Thanks!

Looking at the BG4004 page on Beocentral, I would say no. It appears to use a different datalink system.

Craig is correct, the remote system in the 4004 is much simpler and not compatible.

The remote function of the BG4004 will only function with Beomaster 2400-2
