    Backlight will be activated when the alarm clock is activated (set time) or whenever you touch the BeoTime.

    Re: beotime - on time ?

    Cool, looks like it can control my LC2s... I am sure I'll end up buying it.
    I wonder if, like the Beo5, I will have to take it to the dealer when I want to program a new alarm ;-)

    Alarm clock that can use internal alarm signal or your B&O system sources.

    Sleeptimer

    Remote for basic B&O system (audio & video) control

    Light control

    Can it turn the light on/off at a certain time?

    Re: beotime - on time ?

    I´m guessing no,
    The manual only states that an alarm time-out can be set to switch off audio/ video sources after .. time.

    Re: beotime - on time ?

    The fact that the screens are so small and that it's just standard monochrome LCD makes it look cheap, but I like the innovative design.

    Now that I'm used to my ceiling-projected time, it will be hard for me to come back to this conventionnal, small and not very convenient way to display the time...

    Re: beotime - on time ?

    I like it. Not sure if I would buy one, though. For programming my equipment I don´t need it and I don´t buy stuff just to own it...

    Re: beotime - on time ?

    do I understand the facts correct?

    - Displays are all three backlit
    - Beotime can produce an alarm sound by itself or use B&O Equipment (TV, Audiosystem for Timer, Alarm switch on/off)
    - basic control of TV/Soundsystem

    ?

    I will have a look at it in person and if it doesn't look and feel cheap I MUST buy it! this is great for the bedside!!! :-)

    Re: beotime - on time ?

    can it display the time vertical, too? Would be nice to mount it on a wall  like Beo 4 and 5 if not used :)

    Can somebody upload the usermanual?? Please!? :-)


     Does the audiosystem NEED the timer functionality or will the Beotime e.g. send "Radio on" command at 6:00 am?

    Would be nice as if the old Beosound 1 has no timer function.

    Re: beotime - on time ?

    I saw an image of this a couple of months ago - i like it !!    I do think it looks like a flute though.. LOL

    As a vast majority of people 'take a sleepy swipe' at the alarm clock to turn it off - i hope it doesn't spend more time on the floor than on the bedside cabinet..

    Love the fact it can turn on your AV.  Nice touch.  I think this will sell extremely well.

    SOLD!!

    This is bluddy brilliant. Very exciting product

    Just one thing - if it costs more than 600AUS, it's going to be a stretch, i mean, come on, how much does it cost to manufacture one of these. Shouldn't be much more than a Beo4.

    Re: beotime - on time ?

    image shows how BeoTime is placed on wall bracket;
    the part of the battery compartment is magnetic and that
    is the part where the wall mount should `hold` the BeoTime.

    It seems we can buy it at the end of this year; christmass gift ? and if the leaflet is correct it won't cost more then 99 GBP because there are only two digets [xx's] above the article as the blinded price ? shall this be true ? I think not but hope so !
