To be honest - I don't know excactly....but I have roughly 400 Euros in mind. The one I will get is unused (no batteries were ever loaded) but was on display some where in the shop.

Just bought the last one at my dealer a minute ago....not sure how long my current one will last, so I have a spare one now.

Hey Karsten,

Hope you do not mind me asking, how much are they from the dealer. If you do mind me asking tell me to **** ***

I love my Beo 4 Cinema for the backlight - but hate the identically named button for - what I believe is of no usability to most of us.

Do you hate it enough to sell it?

not to forget it steals the direct record functionality from the Beo 4 ...

According to the manual, one can use the CONTROL button (List)
to control specific functions in the background.

With a bit of work, it can also bring in a scantily clad usherette with ice creams.

Mine hasn't yet.. how do you activate this function, and can i do it when my wife isn't looking?

No, backlight is activated by a little sensor inside the Beo4. You can hear it if you shake the remote.
Cinema activates cinema view in BV7/9, BS3, which means close the screen, turn the stand to audio-position, activate SPEAKER 5 mode...
If you have a cinema control module it closes two contacts (which can close doors, windows, curtains, activate popcorn machines....)
You can configure that in cinema timings menu.
It`s the same as pressing FORMAT 0 on Beo 4 or CINEMA on Beo 5.

Thanks Stefan, very helpful, I like the auto popcorn idea, well cool

It's a setting that closes your doors and windows, drops down a projector and dims your lights etc etc as far as i'm aware.

I won't ever be wealthy enough to find that out though..
