No Dave. It belongs to Peter, as does the second Beo5. This picture was taken just after the launch of Beo5.
Peter was kind enough to lend me his 7000 to help me decide whether to buy one for myself. I did!

The camera never lies...

...or does it?

Is the BL7000 on the left for spares?

PRESENT:

1x Beolink 1000

1x Beolink 7000

COMING:

1x Beo4

1x Beotime (I read it could be used as a remote too )

I think I am under average ... :/

The Beolink 1000 is my favourite remote of them all, and this remote is also the most suitable for my BeoSystem 9500. And also, it annoyed me that the Beo4 only had 'Phono' on the 'List' and not as a buttom, so I decided to go with the Beolink 1000.

The Beolink 7000 is just cool. It looks really great when it stands next to a BeoSystem 9500 or 9300, and I think it has become a collectors item too. Nevertheless, I find it very practical when I am sitting at my desk and actually can see what I am doing without taking a look at the music system. I can control everything with this - recording, timer programmering you name it - without standing next to my music system just to be sure what I am doing. This one really takes advantage of the two-way communication of the old systems.

The Beo4, this one will probably be the next remote I will get. I am looking into buying a MX8000 and to control every functions of this television I need a Beo4. Will still be using the Beolink 1000 to control both the music system and television though, but need the Beo4 to the most advanced functions.

I have:

- 3 x Beo4 (for rooms with tv)

- 2 x Beolink 1000 (for audio rooms)

- 1 x Beolink 7000 (for an audio room)

I have not:

- Beo4 Cinema (BUT: I like to have one)

- Beo5 (and don't want it, because I have never seen one programmed in an ergonomic way. Is it possible at all?)

- Beolink 5000 (because I am almost out of 2-way equipment)

Greetings

As I live in a house predominantly female I have about 10 remotes of BL1000 & Beo4 varieties. I need this many as the women of the house are continually losing them down the sides of the furniture etc... (I once found one in the fridge & SWMBO once put one in her handbag).

I've also got 3 or 4 which are work in progress awaiting different bespoke cosmetic finishes. One is gonna be piano black back case with polished top panels (I already have one in reverse with polished back & piano black top pltes) - undecided about the others but any suggestions are welcome

Chris.

PhilLondon:
4 Beo4 (I used to have more but I have given 2 to friends and familly).

Hello my friend (or isn't you my long lost brother)!

Re: How many Remotes??!!

beo-ap — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 11:59:37 GMT

4 x Beo4 in each link room

1 x Beo1 in the living room

1 x BL1000 I don't know why

1 x BL Audio Terminal b/c it looks like a BL1000 and I don't know why

Soon another Beo4 b/c a new BV8 will demand it

Interesting thread. I had never really taken inventory, and now I feel a little sick!!!

david coyne:

Goodness!!!!

I have one beo4 (and a spare in a box in the event of a nuclear war and the non boxed one dies).

Seeing your comments I want more remotes now but hate clutter..which is part of the reason i became hooked on B&O

So why do you all have so many remotes!!!!!!

David Coyne

Well.............there's one or two in my workroom with a BC1 on the wall and a BC2500 on the workbench. There's a couple in the lounge to control the demo stock. One in the sunroom to control the Avant, one in the kitchen for the MX6000 and one in our bedroom for the MX4000 on the wall.

The total number could change depending on stock levels in the lounge and I haven't yet got any AV in the smallest rooms!!
