I've just paid a 100 euro deposit to order one.... French dealers will be trained to sell the beo5 on the 20th of September, and it would be available in late December or early January 2008, at the price of 550 euro... My dealer could not tell me if it will be able to control non-B&o stuff, such as decoders..... only 80% sure.... Cheers, Laurent.

The Beo5 WILL be able to control non Beo devices, but it has to be setup by the dealer. This is indicated in the manual. This feature is however targeted to non hifi devices, such as curtains, lights, etc... For AV devices, the PUC is the way to go. p.

Hello Laurent, Are you sure about the price of 550 euros for the french market ? That's close to 70 euros more than what we can get in Holland (Ed stated 480 euros). Thanks for your reply. Guy

Rombeek: What is the PUC?
PUC = Peripheral Unit Controller, to control non-B&O-devices, such as STB's for example, but also home-automation products (lights, blinds, curtains, and so on)

I spoke to my local dealer today, he said he would be supprised if the UK price was as low as £320. I couldn't pre-order one as he didn't know the price nor the release date. My hope is that use of BeoMedia in link rooms bocomes a whole lot easier - download of playlists / albums / artists would be good, just to be able to scroll by letter would be an improvement. No more coloured buttons to switch between genre / album /artist? he list goes on! Greg

$750 in australia, wow that's alot of money for a remote, but don't take that as a whine, i am totally entranced by this new design and functionality!  Oh and kudos to getting a hold of the Beo5 manual, how in the world did you get a hold of it?!

We are expecting $650 here in the states. It is really nice. The feel, touch, weight. Such an amazing piece of equipment.

will B&O cut beo4 after beo 5? So we have to decide which one we should buy...
so do you mind sharing the areas of imperfection of beo4 remote control?
thanks a lot.

In scanning the manual, it looks like it will control non-B&O devices only via the PUC - so no big change from the Beo4 then? The Beo5 then doesn't send out a 38Khz IR, but just the usual 455Khz which is translated buy the PUC into the non-B&O commands and sent via the wand. The 'Selected non B&O products' line probably means units that could be controlled directly by the Beo5 (or Beo4) anyway. That at least is what it seems to me.
