I like this forum. I think it can be a very useful technical resource for people, as well as a place for general B&O chat.
However, a lot of people seem to be very quick to chirp in with technical advice who actually don't know what they are talking about, which ultimately wastes peoples times and undermines the value of the whole site.
In this case the OP might have gone home and spent hours trying to option program his BeoSound 1, which is a device which doesn't even have a masterlink plug, and so can't be option programmed.
People need to feel free to post what they thnk is relevant, but I am amazed every time I visit for a browse, by how many people offer technical input on subjects that they clearly know nothing about.
