I want to run my several B & O (vcr, beolab speakers, overture) components  along with my Sony TV, internet/DAB tuner and Foxtel iQ satellite receiver through a master remote controller.  I like the look of the Logitech Harmony One remote, but no-one can can give me any assurance that the B&O  and the non B&O components can be successfully  combined through a master remote.

Has anyone tried this in beoworld and was it successful?

Go to the Harmony site type in your Modle/Brand names and it tells you if they work or not. That said it probably will work as i know they do most if not all B&o     Good Luck

another option is just to use your beo4 or beo5 with a lintronic system (http://lintronic.dk/) which allows you to control other products using your remote.

...or, it's possible to control everything in your set-up with the Beo5/6 directly.

Which VCR do you have? Most B&O VCRs actually work via the TV so this may prove to be a problem unless you have the external IR receiver.

Welcome to BeoWorld!

The short answer: Yes, works beautifully in mixed environments.

The long answer: Read this thread to get some ideas of what is possible.

Lintronic is great if you want to spend a huge amount of money and fiddle with programming a lot.

A Logitech remote will work with B&O

Heck, I just taught my Onkyo receiver remote that has a learning function some B&O commands...didn't think that would work but it did.

One thing to be aware of is that the settings resulting from having set up an Harmony Remote Control are stored on Logitech's website,NOT one's computer.

The advantage is that if one does hit a problem one can not resolve,Logitech's Customer Support can input directly into the stored settings.

Initial setup,can be time consuming ,even for the computer 'savvy', in setting up the various 'activities'
